What is Hair Restoration Microneedling with or WO PRP/ PRF?
Hair restoration microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the scalp, stimulating natural collagen production and hair follicle regeneration.
When combined with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) or PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin), the treatment is enhanced by growth factors and healing properties from your own blood, further boosting hair regrowth, thickness, and scalp health.
PRP vs PRF: These both are similar but different
PRP
- Both require a blood draw, but PRP requires more blood draw.
- PRP tubes have anticoagulants, and this anticoagulant will get injected/ microneedled into your body! Anticoagulants are used here to prevent blood from clotting.
- PRP is spun in a centrifuge at higher speeds, which can damage the blood cells; hence, it will contain lower levels of growth factors compared to PRF.
- PRP releases growth factors for a few hrs, per literature up to 72 hrs (3 days).
PRF
- Requires less blood draw.
- The tubes here have NO ANTICOAGULANTS, hence, this is the purest form that can be safely injected back into the scalp/skin/microneedle.
- PRF is spun in a centrifuge at a lower speed, hence no damage to the blood cells, leaving behind high concentrations of growth factors for rejuvenation/ healing.
- PRF releases growth factors for 10 days.
PRF Hair Restoration Process
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) therapy for hair loss is a three-step medical procedure that involves drawing your blood, processing it, and injecting/microneedling it into your scalp. These injections stimulate and sustain natural hair growth by boosting blood flow to your hair follicles and increasing the thickness of your hair shaft.
The three-step process for PRF is as follows:
Step 1
Your blood is extracted (usually from your arm) and placed in a centrifuge (a machine that spins blood to separate blood cells and plasma of different densities).
Step 2
Your blood will be divided into three layers after around 10 minutes in the centrifuge. These layers include:
- platelet-poor plasma
- platelet-rich fibrin
- red blood cells
Step 3
The platelet-rich fibrin that is rich in growth factors will be then taken up into a syringe and injected into regions of your scalp where hair growth is needed.
Hair Loss Conditions That Benefit the Most from PRP/ PRF Hair Restoration Treatment
Your hair loss may be due to several factors. Our hair restoration treatments work best if your hair loss is due to the following:
- Aging
- Heredity
- Hormonal imbalance (the issue causing the imbalance must be treated before our treatment starts)
- Autoimmune diseases: For cancer-related hair loss conditions, waiting for 12 months after the completion of your cancer treatment is recommended before starting our hair rejuvenation treatment
- Post Hair transplantation
What Happens in PRP & PRF Hair Restoration Treatment Procedure?
Our hair restoration treatment is a minimally invasive procedure that rebuilds weak hair follicles and stimulates hair growth by improving blood supply. It is performed through a combination of the micro-needling procedure and stem cell technology. The procedure takes about 30 minutes, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to the scalp to ease your discomfort during the procedure.
While for PRP treatment, we inject the Platelet-rich plasma from your blood which is separated from the RBCs by the centrifugal method, into your scalp; for PRF therapy, we use the platelet-rich fibrin that is separated from the rest of the blood. The fibrin is injected using the micro-needling procedure into the scalp or injected directly into the scalp.
For both treatments, your body’s stem cells are used to stimulate hair follicles, making them stronger and healthier and enabling them to produce thicker hair.
Benefits of PRF Hair Restoration
- PRF contains greater concentrations of growth factors as well as stem cells, white blood cells (leucocytes), and fibrin that boost hair growth further.
- The PRF stem cells are “undifferentiated” cells that actually transform into the cells required to restore the hair follicles, allowing them to begin producing thick, healthy hair shafts again.
- The fibrin in PRF functions as a scaffolding to restrict the growth factors and stem cells in the region of the scalp being treated from diffusing away. This enables the release of more growth factors over a longer time period.
