i-PRF Hair & Skin Rejuvenation

Service Description:

 

i-PRF is an all natural autologous treatment that stimulates hair growth where hair follicles are present but inactive.

Research shows that the higher concentration of platelets, leukocytes and presence of fibrin is superior to PRP as it can enhance the growth of hair follicles by stimulating the stem cells and other cells in the microenvironment of the hair follicle.

 

Fibrin functions as a matrix that traps the platelets and controls their release of growth factors “very slowly and continuously over 7-10 days. Growth factors release rate into the target tissue is important for tissue receptors to respond over a prolonged period of time following treatment.

 

Platelets release 7 fundamental growth factors: PDGF, FGF, VEGF, EGF, KGF, IGF, TGF-β

 

For patients with significant hair loss, then a combined approach is often recommended, i-PRF works well for both men and women, especially those in the early stages of hair loss.

 

Injectable platelet‐rich fibrin stimulates greater dermal skin fibroblast cell migration, proliferation, and collagen synthesis when compared to platelet‐rich plasma.

 

Skin fibroblasts migrated over 350% more with i-PRF when compared to PRP (200% increase). i-PRF also significantly induces greater cell proliferation and significantly greater ability to induce collagen matrix synthesis when compared to PRP.

 

i-PRF yields more than double the number of platelets which play a critical role in tissue repair and regeneration, they regulate fundamental mechanisms involved in the healing process including cellular migration, proliferation, and angiogenesis.

 

i-PRF is proven to be the gold standard in natural skin rejuvenation. One of the main advantages of using i-PRF as a regenerative modality in various fields of regenerative medicine is its low cost in comparison with other regenerative modalities or recombinant growth factors/hormones.

 

This therapy is entirely autologous without any chemical additive and offers superior tissue bio-compatibility and tissue regeneration due to the activated platelets and fibrin matrix.

 

Furthermore, wound healing is drastically improved with i-PRF when compared to PRP as PRP typically contains low concentrations of leukocytes. Leukocytes are the main protagonists in wound healing and the regeneration process. Their presence in autologous therapy increases the regeneration capacity.
