PRP Hair Restoration Therapy Q & A

 

PRP Hair Restoration Therapy

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Hair Therapy is an FDA-recognized, non-surgical hair regrowth treatment that utilizes concentrated growth factors from the patient's own blood to reactivate dormant hair follicles and stimulate new hair growth.

 

Key Benefits

✔ 100% Natural & Safe: Autologous preparation eliminates rejection risks

✔ Triple-Action Growth Factors:

    • PDGF (Platelet-Derived): Promotes follicle cell proliferation

    • VEGF (Vascular Endothelial): Improves blood supply to follicles

    • FGF (Fibroblast): Extends hair growth phase (anagen)

✔ No Downtime: Immediate return to daily activities

 

Scientific Mechanism

1. Blood Processing: 15-20ml venous blood centrifuged to extract PRP (4-8x platelet concentration)

2. Precision Delivery: Microinjection/mesogun administration at 1.5-2mm depth

3. Follicle Activation: Growth factors revive miniaturized follicles, with visible vellus hairs in 3-6 months

 

Ideal Candidates

▶ Androgenetic Alopecia (Male/Female Pattern Baldness)

▶ Postpartum Hair Loss (>6 months persistent thinning)

▶ Alopecia Areata (Stable non-scarring patches)

▶ Post-Hair Transplant (Enhances graft survival)
