How it works

PRP contains high concentrations of growth factors (PDGF, VEGF, IGF-1) that stimulate follicular progenitor cells, increase blood supply to follicles, and prolong the anagen growth phase.

Requires clinical administration (a doctor or dermatologist). Multiple sessions needed (typically 3โ€“4 initially, then 6-monthly maintenance). Expensive and not covered by most insurance. Results vary between individuals.

โ€œSome improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.โ€
