PRP Hair Restoration
Am I a candidate?HOW DOES PRP HAIR RESTORATION ACTUALLY WORK?
Simply put, what is PRP? Platelet Rich Plasma, or PRP, is made from a tiny sample of the patient’s blood that is spun in a centrifuge and separated into its components. When activated, PRP releases at least 8 distinct growth factors that are typically deployed to repair damaged tissue. These growth factors are essential for revitalizing the hair follicle and stimulating local cell development, and they work like magic to promote angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels).
PRP contains bioactive proteins like PDGF (platelet derived growth factor) and VEGF in its enriched platelets. (vascular endothelial growth factor). These growth factors have been shown to initiate and speed up tissue repair, with additional beneficial benefits for hair loss.
