Revitalize Your Hair with Growth Factors

What is PRF for hair growth?

In our blood

Growth factors play the role of messengers, signaling skin cells to function. In fact, they’ve been used in medicine to treat a range of health issues, including arthritis, signs of aging, etc. The good news for anyone with thinning hair is that growth factors can help stimulate the activity of the hair follicles and promote new hair growth.

The use of PRF, exosomes, and other treatments rich in growth factors are great options for hair loss because they have a proven effect on increasing hair count, hair thickness, and the growth phase of the hair cycle.

What is platelet-rich fibrin?

This treatment consists of injecting PRF into the scalp in areas experiencing hair loss.

PRF is the next generation in regenerative treatments, offering substantial advantages over traditional Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). Unlike PRP, which requires anticoagulants and provides a shorter-term release of growth factors, PRF is completely natural, without additives, and allows a sustained release of healing factors over time.

PRF contains a higher concentration of platelets, leukocytes, and a fibrin matrix, which acts as a scaffold to support and regenerate hair follicles more effectively. This leads to longer-lasting and more robust hair growth, making PRF the preferred choice for achieving superior results.

Growth factors

The main platelet growth factors that have a stimulating effect on the cells of the hair follicle are:

  • IGF (insulin-like growth factor) - regulates aging and tissue growth processes due to various effects on target cells (endocrine, autocrine, and paracrine regulation). Influences the onset of the anagen and catagen phases.
  • VEGF - stimulates the formation of blood vessels around the hair follicles and improves tissue nutrition.
  • FGF - is responsible for the reproduction and differentiation of many cells and tissues.
  • EGF - is involved in regulating DNA synthesis in the hair cells and bulb's outer root sheath.

Hair receptors sensitive to these factors are located on the cells of the follicles' root membranes and the hair papilla cells (hair bulb). Together, platelet growth factors regulate the proliferation and differentiation of keratinocytes, angiogenesis (the synthesis of new blood vessels), and control the growth and development of the hair follicle.

What are the benefits of PRP for hair growth?

PRP for hair growth primarily focuses on the scalp, where hair loss and thinning most commonly occur. It can be applied to various areas of the scalp, including:

  • Crown
  • Temples
  • Hairline
  • Mid-scalp region

The treatment is versatile and can be tailored to address your specific areas of concern, whether you're experiencing overall thinning or localized hair loss.

Who It Works For

Am I a candidate for hair growth treatments?

Anyone experiencing hair loss is essentially a good candidate for PRF treatments, but those with early hair loss tend to respond best.

PRF is best used for patients with androgenic alopecia, which is a genetically determined type of hair thinning that typically occurs along the top of the head. In women, this might look like a widening part with normal hair thickness at the back of the head.

Indications

Indications for the procedure:

  • hair loss of any type (androgenic, nested, diffuse);
  • preparation for hair transplant surgery and recovery after it;
  • slow hair growth;
  • chronic diseases of the scalp (psoriasis, seborrhea, dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis);
  • deterioration in the quality and appearance of hair (dullness, thinning, brittleness, thinning).

Contraindications

Contraindications:

  • low platelet count in the blood;
  • oncological diseases;
  • taking corticosteroids and blood thinners;
  • gestation and breastfeeding.
