PRP Therapy for Hair Restoration

How does PRP therapy work?

The concentrated platelets in our blood has growth factors that, when injected into the skin and scalp, stimulates tissue regeneration and growth of the hair follicles. PRP stimulates inactive hair follicles into an active growth phase, with specific cells that causes hair growth including:

Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF)—promotes blood vessel growth, cell replication, skin formation
Transforming Growth-Factor-Beta (TGF-b)—promotes growth of matrix between cells, bone metabolism
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF)—promotes blood vessel formation
Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF)—promotes cell growth and differentiation, blood vessel formation, collagen formation
Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 (FGF-2)—promotes growth of specialized cells and blood vessel formation; and, Insulin Like Growth Factor – (IGF)—a regulator of normal physiology in nearly every type of cell in the body

Who is an ideal candidate for PRP hair restoration?

What does hair restoration treatment look like?

The provider will draw a small amount of blood in a specific kit and process it in the Emcyte centrifuge. The centrifuge will concentrate the platelets around 5-9 times over the baseline and separate it from the harming white blood cells (granulocytes) and the irritating red blood cells. The higher and purer the concentration, the better results you get, which is why it is important to ask about the type of centrifuge treatment the office uses.

While the blood is processed, the provider will block the nerves with either topical or local anesthesia. Once the PRP is ready, it will be injected in a timely manner into the scalp with a very fine needle. After the procedure, the patient can drive and wash their hair normally. The procedure is quick and very tolerable.

In general, 3-6 treatments spaced 3-5 weeks is recommended for better results. Results vary among individuals.
