How PRP Reverses Hair Thinning and Activates Dormant Follicles

Hair thinning affects millions of individuals and often stems from a combination of genetic sensitivity to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), hormonal fluctuations, and chronic scalp inflammation. ### The Biological Mechanism of PRP Platelets contain concentrated growth factors including PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor), VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor), and TGF-beta. When separated and micro-injected into the scalp: 1. **Angiogenesis**: New blood micro-vessels form around miniaturized follicles. 2. **Prolonged Anagen Phase**: Follicles remain in the active growth phase longer. 3. **Reduced Follicular Miniaturization**: Hair shaft diameter increases visibly over successive sessions. ### What to Expect During Treatment A small blood draw is processed in a medical centrifuge to concentrate the autologous plasma. With topical local numbing, the procedure is comfortable and involves minimal to no downtime. Early intervention delivers the highest rates of follicular salvage and regrowth.
