Hair Restoration for Hair Loss and Thinning Hair - iPRF
Injectable Platelet Rich Fibrin
Hair loss / Hair rejuvenation - iPRF (injectable platelet rich fibrin) is used to reverse the signs of hair loss in men and women as part of a multi-step treatment of the scalp. This is an all-natural non-surgical therapeutic option for patients who suffer from hair loss or thinning. iPRF can enhance the growth of hair follicles by stimulating the stem cells and other cells in the microenvironment of the hair follicle. These special Platelet cells promote healing and accelerates the rate and degree of tissue regeneration, resulting in new hair growth and thickening of existing hair.
The use of IPRF has grown in popularity in the last couple of years, as a great treatment option for hair loss, because it has a number of scientifically based articles showing its efficacy increasing hair count, hair thickness, and the growth phase of the hair cycle.
