Hair PRP / PRF
Autologous platelet therapy adjunct for AGA/FAGA hair restoration
About This Treatment
Hair PRP/PRF concentrates autologous platelets, fibrin and growth factors for scalp injection as an adjunct in hair loss. It can be combined with minoxidil, finasteride/dutasteride, low-level laser therapy or hair transplantation.
It appeals to patients seeking autologous options, but outcomes vary by preparation and protocol and it is not a standalone reversal for advanced hair loss.
Mechanism of Action
PDGF, VEGF, EGF and TGF-beta may support dermal papilla activity, angiogenesis and anagen maintenance. PRF may release growth factors more gradually through its fibrin matrix.
Indications
Expected Results
Hair density, caliber and photography are assessed over 3-6 months. It should be presented as adjunctive, not a replacement for standard topical/oral therapies.
Clinical Evidence
Risks & Side Effects
Blood-draw discomfort, scalp pain, bruising, swelling, infection and vasovagal reactions may occur. Platelet dysfunction, anticoagulants and anemia require review.
