About iPRF Hair Loss treatment
i-PRF is a revolutionary all-natural autologous treatment designed to stimulate hair growth in areas where hair follicles are present but inactive. Research indicates that a higher concentration of platelets, leukocytes, and the presence of fibrin make i-PRF superior to traditional PRP. This enhanced formulation works by activating stem cells and other supportive cells within the hair follicle's microenvironment, fostering healthier hair growth. Fibrin plays a crucial role by serving as a matrix that effectively traps platelets, allowing for a gradual and controlled release of growth factors over a period of 7 to 10 days. This slow release is vital, as it enables tissue receptors to respond consistently over an extended duration, maximizing the treatment's effectiveness and promoting rejuvenated hair follicles.
During your treatment
Smart cell injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) is an innovative regenerative treatment that utilizes a patient's own blood to promote healing and regeneration. The process begins with venipuncture to draw blood from the individual, which is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the red blood cells, white cells, and plasma. This procedure typically lasts between 45 minutes and an hour. Most clients are advised to undergo 2-3 treatment sessions, with the possibility of additional treatments based on individual needs. To maintain optimal results, regular touch-up sessions may be recommended. The key component of this therapy is the platelets, which are tiny cell fragments involved in the clotting and healing process. When i-PRF is injected into the targeted treatment area, it releases essential growth factors that facilitate tissue repair and regeneration, enhancing the body's natural healing capabilities.
Difference between PRP and iPRF
Both PRP and i-PRF are rich in healing and regenerative growth factors, but i-PRF stands out with a higher concentration of platelets per microliter, as well as the presence of leukocytes and mesenchymal stem cells. Unlike PRP, where the platelets remain inactive due to the anticoagulant, i-PRF allows for the activation of platelets upon injection. This activation is crucial, as it leads to the release of vital growth factors, making i-PRF a more effective and longer-lasting treatment option when injected or micro-needled into the tissue. Additionally, the fibrin in i-PRF acts as a natural scaffold, facilitating angiogenesis—the process of forming new blood vessels—which can significantly enhance the healing process within the wound area. Overall, i-PRF demonstrates greater biocompatibility and efficacy for regenerative treatments.
F.A.Q.
When can i see the results of my iPRF treatment?
You can typically expect to see results from PRF hair loss treatment after two to three months. However, the timeline for noticeable results may vary from person to person.
How many treatments do I need?
Most patients will need 2-3 treatments spaced several weeks apart to gain the most optimal results.
Is iPRF safe?
PRF, or Platelet-Rich Fibrin, is derived from your own blood, making it an autologous treatment. This innovative approach harnesses your body's natural healing properties to repair and enhance your skin tissue, ensuring that the likelihood of an allergic reaction is virtually eliminated. By utilizing your own tissue, PRF promotes rejuvenation and healing in a safe and effective manner.
What is the 'down time'?
The procedure is taking less than one hour to complete. It has minimal to no downtime, allowing individuals to seamlessly integrate the treatment into their day. After the procedure, you can immediately return to your regular activities without the need for extensive recovery time.
Am I a good candidate for PRF Hair Restoration?
IPRF hair treatments are an excellent choice for individuals facing early signs of hair loss, thinning, or pattern baldness, commonly referred to as androgenetic alopecia. These innovative treatments effectively address hair loss resulting from stress or other influencing factors, offering a natural alternative to traditional hair restoration methods. Many people seeking to enhance their hair's vitality and overall health may find these treatments particularly beneficial. Whether you're starting to notice thinning hair or dealing with more advanced stages of hair loss, IPRF therapies present a promising solution. Their versatility makes them suitable for a wide range of individuals, helping to revitalize hair and restore confidence in one's appearance.
*There are certain cases where PRF may not be effective, such as scarring alopecia or hair loss with permanently damaged or inactive follicles. In these cases, hair transplants may be a better treatment option.
Harnessing the body's natural healing capabilities, innovative hair treatments utilize platelets and growth factors to stimulate hair growth. These techniques focus on rejuvenating the scalp, promoting a fuller and healthier appearance without the need for invasive procedures.
