There are many reasons why men and women can lose their hair. The average scalp contains approximately 100,000 hairs. On a typical day, a person can lose around 50 to 100 hairs. But if more hairs are shed each day, thinning hair becomes more and more noticeable. Fortunately, there are treatments available for most hair loss problems. Some hair loss conditions are only temporary, and the hairs will normally grow back on its own once the issue has been resolved. Other hair loss conditions, such as male and female pattern baldness, require treatment to help maintain and stimulate hair growth.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) therapy are effective, non-surgical treatment for hair loss in men and women, leveraging the healing potential of the body’s platelets. In these procedures, a patient’s blood is drawn, centrifuged to extract platelet-rich plasma or platelet-rich fibrin, and injected into the scalp areas affected by hair loss.
The growth factors stimulate cell proliferation, differentiation, and new blood vessel formation, creating an environment conducive to hair growth. Additionally, platelets modulate inflammatory responses, potentially reducing damage to hair follicles.
Clinical studies show significant improvements in hair density, terminal/vellus hair ratio (indicating successful hair regrowth), and hair diameter post-PRP treatment. Most patients report high satisfaction due to improved hair growth.
Concentrated platelets suspended in plasma
Typically prepared using an anticoagulant
Growth factors are released relatively quickly
Has been studied extensively for hair restoration
Contains platelets within a natural fibrin matrix
Typically prepared without added anticoagulants
Provide a slower, more sustained release of growth factors
Uses a minimally processed preparation derived from your own blood
There is no single treatment that is best for everyone. PRP currently has more published research supporting its use for hair loss, while PRF is an option that may offer advantages because of its fibrin structure and gradual release of growth factors.
The most appropriate treatment depends on the type and severity of your hair loss, your medical history, and the health of your existing hair follicles.
These treatments are generally intended to strengthen and support follicles that are still active. They cannot reliably restore hair in areas where follicles are no longer functioning.
Reduced hair shedding
Improved hair thickness and strength
Increased density in thinning areas
Healthier-looking hair growth
Results vary from person to person and cannot be guaranteed. A series of treatments is commonly recommended, followed by maintenance treatments depending on individual response.
At Grace Medical, we begin with a consultation to assess your pattern of hair loss, medical history, scalp health, and treatment goals. We can then determine whether PRP, PRF, or another hair-loss treatment may be appropriate for you.
Early assessment is important, as regenerative treatments tend to work best when hair follicles are still present and capable of producing hair.
