Hair Regrowth Treatment with PRF Injections and Topical Exosomes

Reversing The Tide: How PRF Hair Regrowth Treatment Can Change Your Hair Journey

Hair plays a crucial role in our appearance and self-esteem. It is often seen as a reflection of one’s personality and style. Healthy, thicker hair can boost confidence, enhance attractiveness, and contribute to a positive self-image. On the other hand, hair thinning or loss can significantly impact self-esteem and lead to feelings of self-consciousness and distress.

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) hair treatment is an innovative and promising approach to address hair loss and promote natural hair growth. PRF utilizes the regenerative properties of one’s own blood to stimulate hair follicles, leading to improved hair health and thickness. Unlike conventional treatments that may involve medications or invasive procedures, PRF hair restoration offers a natural and minimally invasive solution that harnesses the body’s wound healing capabilities and cell regeneration.

Understanding PRF Hair Treatment

PRF is a concentrated substance derived from a patient’s own blood that contains a high concentration of platelets, growth factors, and other bioactive proteins. In hair regeneration treatment, PRF is utilized to stimulate hair follicles, promote natural hair growth, and improve the overall health of the hair. The platelets within PRF are rich in growth factors that play a crucial role in tissue regeneration and the natural healing process.

The PRF treatment for hair loss procedure begins with a simple blood draw from the patient, similar to a routine blood test. The collected blood is then processed using a centrifugation process to separate the different components. Through this process, the platelets and cell growth factors are concentrated into a fibrin matrix, creating PRF.

Once the PRF is prepared, it is carefully injected into the scalp in areas of concern, such as areas experiencing hair loss or thinning. The injections are typically performed using fine needles, and local anesthesia may be used to minimize discomfort. The PRF is strategically administered to target the hair follicles and stimulate their activity, promoting natural hair growth and healthier hair.

How Does Hair Regrowth Treatment With PRF Injections and Topical Exosomes Work?

PRF stands out as a natural and regenerative treatment for hair loss. The concentrated platelets within PRF release growth factors such as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and transforming growth factor (TGF), among others. These growth factors are instrumental in promoting tissue repair, angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels), and the regeneration process of cells and tissue.

By injecting PRF into the scalp, these growth factors stimulate the hair follicles, encouraging their transition from a dormant phase to an active growth phase. This activation helps revive weakened or dormant follicles, leading to increased hair density, improved hair thickness, and a reduction in hair loss. Additionally, PRF’s regenerative properties promote a healthier scalp environment, enhancing the overall health and vitality of the hair.

The effectiveness of PRF in promoting hair growth has been supported by studies and clinical observations. Research has shown that PRF treatment can stimulate the proliferation of dermal papilla cells, which play a vital role in hair follicle development and growth. Furthermore, the growth factors in PRF have been found to enhance angiogenesis, improving blood flow to the scalp and ensuring a well-nourished environment for hair follicles.

After the PRF is injected, we then microneedle the treatment area using the FDA-approved Rejuvapen while applying topical exosomes. The microneedling induces microtraumas to the scalp-follicle complex, followed by the application of exosomes, for the purpose of rejuvenated, thicker, and healthier hair.

Ageless Aesthetics MediSpa is the only medical spa in New Mexico utilizing topical exosomes in hair restoration treatments.

The Benefits Of Hair Regrowth Treatments With PRF Injections and Microneedling With Topical Exosomes

Stimulating Hair Growth

• PRF injections can activate dormant hair follicles: The concentrated growth factors present in PRF have the ability to awaken dormant hair follicles, stimulating their transition from a resting phase to an active growth phase. By injecting PRF directly into the scalp, the growth factors interact with the hair follicles, triggering the production of new hair strands and promoting natural hair growth.
• Evidence from studies demonstrating the positive effects of PRF on hair growth: Several studies have highlighted the efficacy of PRF in stimulating hair growth. For instance, a study published in the Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery showed that platelet-rich plasma led to a significant increase in hair density and hair shaft thickness in individuals with androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss).
• Microneedling: There is a natural decline in stem cells, collagen, as well as nerve cells, and blood vessels leading to weaker, thinner tissue, that has subsequently resulted in hair loss. Resurfacing the scalp leads to micro-injuries in the scalp and its underlying tissue layers. This results in causing the body's own natural healing mechanism to stimulate and release growth factors that will likely lead to improvement in thicker and healthier hair.
• Exosomes: Exosomes are micro-vesicles, about 1/1000th the size of a normal call. Exosomes contain no DNA or nucleus. They are signaling agents used in cell-to-cell communication and signaling. Exocomes are known to activate several signaling pathways that are important in tissue regeneration, wound healing, and fracture repair. This effect is called paracrine signaling. Exosomes are used for therapeutic reasons and are a new therapy in regenerative medicine.

Improving Hair Health And Quality

• Nourishing effects of PRF on the scalp and hair follicles: PRF contains a rich concentration of growth factors and bioactive proteins that nourish the scalp and hair follicles. When injected into the scalp, PRF promotes a healthier environment for hair growth by supplying essential nutrients and oxygen to the follicles. This nourishment helps rejuvenate the hair follicles, supporting their optimal functioning and overall hair health.
• PRF helps repair damaged hair and reduce hair loss: The regenerative properties of PRF contribute to repairing damaged hair strands. By stimulating the regeneration of cells and tissues, PRF treatment aids in the recovery of weak or damaged hair, reducing breakage and hair loss. The growth factors in PRF also help in improving the anchoring of hair follicles to the scalp, preventing excessive shedding and promoting stronger hair growth.
• Potential improvements in hair texture, shine, and overall health after PRF treatment: In addition to promoting hair growth and reducing hair loss, PRF treatment has the potential to improve the overall quality of the hair. Patients have reported positive changes in hair texture, with hair feeling smoother, silkier, and more manageable. Furthermore, the nourishing effects of PRF contribute to enhanced hair shine and luster, resulting in healthier-looking hair overall.

Hair Regrowth Treatment with PRF vs. Other Hair Loss Solutions

When comparing PRF hair treatment to traditional methods of addressing hair loss, several notable differences emerge.

Medications: Unlike medications that often require daily usage and may have potential side effects, PRF offers a natural alternative. Medications typically work by blocking the hormone responsible for hair loss, but they may not always stimulate new hair growth. PRF, on the other hand, promotes hair growth by activating dormant follicles and nourishing the scalp.

Topical Solutions: Topical medications like minoxidil are commonly used to treat hair loss. However, they require a consistent application and may not be as effective for everyone. PRF, through its direct injection into the scalp, provides targeted stimulation and nourishment to the hair follicles, potentially yielding more significant results.

Ageless Aesthetics MediSpa offers two topical solutions:

• Formula 82M: “Formula 82M” is a customized prescription solution that contains the FDA-approved hair growth medication Minoxidil 5%, Tretinoin 0.01% for enhanced penetration and hair growth effect, the anti-inflammatory Fluocinolone 0.01%, an organic anti-androgen Oleanolic Acid and a sophisticated blend of powerful antioxidants, scalp conditioners and hair conditioners in a non-irritating propylene glycol-free base.
• Formula 82F: "Formula 82F" is a customized prescription solution that contains the FDA-approved hair growth medication Minoxidil, Finasteride, Fluocinolone, and other proprietary ingredients that improve its over effectiveness and usability. Finasteride works by decreasing the production of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in tissues in the scalp. It has been approved as a treatment for hair loss in the US since 1997.

Hair Restoration Surgery: Hair transplant surgery requires harvesting hair follicles from one area of the scalp and transplanting them to thinning or balding areas. While hair replacement surgery can be effective, it is invasive, expensive, and requires a recovery period. PRF, in contrast, is a non-invasive procedure that utilizes the body’s own resources, minimizing the risks and discomfort associated with surgery.
