I-PRF is a natural autologous treatment that stimulates hair growth where hair follicles are present but inactive.

​I-PRF is the next generation of traditional Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatments.

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 and is particularly effective post hair transplant procedures.
