HOW DOES PLATELET RICH PLASMA HAIR RESTORATION WORK ?
​Platelet Rich Plasma or PRP is an advanced and popular treatment in aesthetics and regenerative medicine.
​
PRP uses the body’s own blood to derive platelet rich plasma which is rich in bioactive proteins, growth factors and stem cells. This stimulates the regeneration and activity of the hair follicles in a natural way, resulting in thicker and healthier existing hair and the new growth of new hair.
​
Our choice of PRP system results in a very high concentration of platelets which release growth factors and stem cells to stimulate the formation of new hair. The platelets injected contain growth factions which are responsible for wound healing, tissue regeneration, collagen and elastin production, vascular re-growth and connective tissue formation.
