Platelets, tiny blood cells, do more than just help with clotting. They release growth factors and cytokines that impact various body processes. In the context of hair growth, studies show that Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) derived from activated platelets contains substances like PDGF, TGF-β, FGF-2, VEGF, EGF, IGF-1, and GDNF. These play crucial roles in promoting hair growth by encouraging cell growth, differentiation, and the formation of new blood vessels.
For instance, GDNF supports cell growth and protects hair follicles from premature transitions. VEGF is a potent stimulator of hair growth by inducing the formation of new blood vessels. IGF-1 promotes the proliferation of specific keratinocytes, extending the active growth phase of hair. PRP also activates signaling pathways in dermal papilla cells, enhancing their survival and promoting hair growth. The anti-apoptotic effects of PRP contribute to the increased survival of hair follicle cells, while microscopic examinations have shown positive changes in scalp tissues treated with PRP.
In simpler terms, PRP seems to have a very positive impact on various aspects of hair health, from stimulating the growth of new hair, reversing thinning of hair, increasing longetivity of hair, reducing hairfall and preventing premature hair loss too.
At Infinity Aesthetics Clinic under the supervision of our founder Dr Narendra Nikumbh, a leading Dermatologist and Hair Transplant Surgeon, PRP treatment is available in the best quality and form.
Results can be visible from the first sessio itself although in some cases it may take 2 or more sessions to show the results hence it is recommended to take theentire course of the treatment.
