What Are Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a second generation to Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP). PRF, is an all-natural solution that can treat areas in the face that show the first signs of aging, like under-eye hollows, deflated cheeks and in the scalp for hair restoration.

Harvested PRP has platelets, fibrin and white blood cells, which helps achieve wound healing, collagen production and improved elasticity. PRF contains a very high concentration of white blood cells, fibrin and a small number of stem cells found circulating in our bloodstream. PRF becomes a gel after 15 to 20 minutes of being isolated and immediately upon being injected into the face or scalp. This process allows it to be used for cosmetic volume and hair restoration.

PRP Treatment for Hair Regrowth

PRP Therapy is a low risk, highly effective treatment for hair loss that is sweeping the hair restoration community, and it’s now available right here at Ageless Body Sculpting, located in Fall River, MA. PRP is effective for both men and women at correcting established hair loss; from restoring thinning eyebrows to acting as a preventative treatment to combat the very first signs of hair loss.

PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma. This plasma is the part of your blood that controls clotting and healing, and helps stimulate the growth of new tissue. PRP Therapy has been used in the medical community for decades as a way to decrease healing time for wounds. In fact, PRP therapy has had a strong presence in orthopedic medicine, dentistry, and reconstructive surgery fields with much success.

Today, the benefits of PRP Treatment on hair follicle stimulation and hair regrowth are bringing new life to the world of hair restoration, and the results are truly remarkable.

Is PRP Therapy a Good Option for Hair Restoration?
As many patients already know, other treatments for hair loss can present problems or deliver underwhelming results. Drugs like finasteride and minoxidil require consistent, long-term use and have side effects ranging from itchiness to sexual dysfunction. Hair transplants are painful, expensive, and have a lengthy recovery time. In contrast, patients undergoing PRP therapy experience mild discomfort, no down-time, and results within three months.

PRP is a concentrated preparation of your own growth factors extracted from your own blood. When injected into a treatment area, PRP stimulates a stem cell response for regeneration of the targeted tissue. Platelets are blood cells that assist the clotting process. As a clot forms, platelets release enzymes that attract powerful stem cells to aid in the repair of the damaged area.

How is PRP Hair Restoration Performed?
Your PRP hair restoration treatment will be performed onsite by Dr. Gagliardi. PRP Hair Restoration Therapy is an incision-free procedure that does not require general anesthesia. Prior to the day of your treatment, you will have a private consultation with Dr. Gagliardi to discuss your goals and determine the best approach to achieving them. Dr. Gagliardi will then work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan specifically for your unique case.

PRP Hair Restoration Treatment Process
First, blood will be carefully drawn and placed into a centrifuge. This process works to concentrate the plasma within the blood, which is a rich source of platelets and growth factors linked to the stem cells around the base of the hair follicles. These cells are what determine whether the hair is in a growth or rest phase. Once separated, Dr. Gagliardi will inject the PRP into the specific areas of your scalp, stimulating the growth phase of the surrounding hair follicles.
