PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is a growth factor-based treatment for hair loss that falls under the regenerative medicine umbrella that also includes stem cell therapy.
PRP contains at least six different growth factors. The individual and synergistic effects of these proteins on hair growth cannot easily be identified. PRP contains at least 30 other substances, including chemokines, clotting factors, and immune mediators, all or some of which may influence hair growth positively. Growth factors in PRP that are most involved in hair growth include Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF), Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), and Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF). Growth factors can increase the duration of the anagen, the growth phase of hair, and may increase the thickness of the hair shaft.
PRP Microneedling is the process of puncturing the skin with tiny sterilized needles. These tiny wounds cause the skin to create more collagen and elastin.
