Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is prepared by drawing a small amount of your blood, then spinning it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets 5–8x above normal blood levels. Platelets are the body's primary healing agents — they contain growth factors that orchestrate tissue repair, collagen synthesis, and new blood vessel formation.
When combined with microneedling, the timing and delivery are perfectly matched: the micro-channels created by needling provide direct access to the deep dermis exactly when it's most receptive to growth factor signaling. This synergy produces results significantly superior to either treatment independently.
Key growth factors in PRP include VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor), PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor), TGF-β (transforming growth factor), and EGF (epidermal growth factor) — a comprehensive cocktail that mirrors the body's natural injury-repair cascade.
For hair restoration, PRP is injected directly into the scalp where it reactivates dormant follicles, increases follicle size, and extends the growth phase of the hair cycle. Clinical studies show meaningful improvement in hair density for patients with androgenic alopecia.
