PRFM for Hair Loss - Hairline International Hair & Skin Clinic-

Androgentic alopecia affects up to 30% of men over the age of 30 and 50% of men over the age of 50 and women as well. Several modalities of treatment have been promoted for hair regrowth. Only 2 medications minoxidil and finesteride and 655nm laser treatment have been approved by the FDA.

Platelet rich fibrin matrix (PRFM) is a new breakthrough in hair regrowth.

Advantages of PRFM Treatment

PRFM presents more viable and intact and activated platelet in fibrin matrix which produces a more prolonged exposure to growth factors in a more natural time course. It is believed that this natural kinetics will yield more sustained hair growth.

Studies show that PRFM is more effective in grade 3, 4, and 5 in men and grade 2 in female.

All patients tolerated the procedure well. No patients noted any significant ecchymosis.

Hair shedding didn’t worsen in any case.

Significant hair regrowth and improvement in thickness seen in 3 sessions of treatment.

The procedure takes only 20 mins. Its sustain release up to 7 days after the procedure allows cell angiogenesis and hair re growth in the scalp. It increases hair density and thickness almost 2 times in 6 months.

Platelet rich fibrin matrix is extensively used by surgeons worldwide to treat chronic lower extremity ulcers. It promotes wound healing via cell proliferation and new cell re growth.

PRFM is very effective in combination with hair transplantation. It stimulates dermal angiogenesis and wound healing which helps in better survival of the transplanted graft. Moreover, it also improves the density of the thinning hair by stimulating cell proliferation.

Q. What is platelet rich fibrin matrix treatment for hair loss?

A. Platelet rich fibrin matrix treatment is considered to be one of the latest inventions in hair treatment. In this treatment a small amount of blood is collected from the patient and centrifuged. This separates and concentrates the patient’s own platelets and fibrin into a matrix. The matrix is then injected into the thinning or bald scalp which stimulates cell proliferation and regrowth of hair through targeted tissue regeneration.

Q. How is it better than the current line of treatments advised for hair loss?

A. Platelet rich fibrin matrix releases growth factors into the scalp through a sustained mechanism. In vitro studies have shown that growth factors are released up to 7 days. This stimulates new hair growth. Pronounced results are seen after 3 weeks of the treatment.

Q. Why is it superior to platelet rich plasma?

A. PRFM is superior to PRP. The procedure takes only 20 mins. PRFM requires only 4 sessions to see visible result. Its sustain release up to 7 days after the procedure allows cell angiogenesis and hair regrowth in the scalp. It increases hair density and thickness almost 2 times in 6 months.

Q. What cases should opt for this treatment?

A. A dermatologist decides the cases after thorough history taking and blood investigations but any individual with hair thinning and balding can opt for the treatment.

Q. Is there a scientific evidence for such a treatment?

A. Platelet rich fibrin matrix is extensively used by surgeons worldwide to treat chronic lower extremity ulcers. It promotes wound healing via cell proliferation and new cell regrowth.

Q. What results are visible?

A. Results are visible after 4 sessions of therapy in hair loss patients.

Q. How is it more effective in combination with hair transplantation?

A. PRFM is very effective in combination with hair transplantation. It stimulates dermal angiogenesis and wound healing which helps in better survival of the transplanted graft. Moreover, it also improves the density of the thinning hair by stimulating cell proliferation.
