Hair loss and thinning hair are common problems across all genders. About 50 million men and 30 million women have lost at least some hair. It’s especially common after reaching age 50 or as a result of stress.

Platelet Rich Plasma/Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRP/PRF) therapy stimulates hair growth through vascularization and angiogenesis, and encourages hair follicles to extend the duration of the anagen phase of the growth cycle. PRP/PRF therapy for hair loss is shown to increase blood supply to the hair follicle, triggering natural hair growth.

Growth factors found in PRP/PRF include several intracellular structures such as glycogen, lysosomes and alpha granules that promote the healing and repair process. These help to reawaken the activity of the hair follicles and promote new hair growth. The use of PRP/PRF is scientifically shown to increase hair count, hair thickness, and the growth phase of the hair cycle.

Treatments are typically performed monthly for the first three to four months, and then every three to six months thereafter. After the results start to appear, you’ll still need to get touch-ups at least once a year to maintain new hair regrowth. This schedule is optimal for stimulating hair growth factors and stem cells associated with reducing hair fallout. PRP has proven to combat hair loss in more than 70% of cases.
