One of the hair restoration treatments available today is iPRF. Let us take your through all that is to know about the iPRF treatment: 

What is iPRF hair treatment?

iPRF stands for Injectable platelet rich fibrin, it is a unique and one of a kind hair rejuvenation technique wherein the patient’s blood plasma is used as a part of the hair regeneration treatment. 

The blood plasma is enriched with:

Platelets: Rich source full of healing proteins and growth factors

Fibrin: It is a wound healing and regeneration matrix

Stem Cells: These are the conductors of our body’s own regeneration and healing molecules

When the blood plasma is injected, it results in the activation of accelerated healing process and regeneration process, which leads to the regenerative properties of the body to be focused and concentrated on the area of concern.

How iPRF helps with hair loss?

The iPRF treatment intensifies the reproduction and functioning of cells, thus having a gentle and gradual yet long lasting and accumulative effect.

Fibrin, which is an important part of the iPRF treatment, functions as a matrix trapping the platelets and hence controls the release of growth factors. The release rate of  growth factors into the target tissue is important in order for tissue receptors to respond over a prolonged period post treatment.

iPRF treatment is a multi-step treatment of the scalp, helps reverse hair loss in men and women and is carried out under the effect of local anesthesia to minimize pain. The treatment is known to reset the hair follicles and reduce the impact of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) specially in patients who suffer from Androgenic Alopecia; pattern hair loss. It has become the new standard of treatment for alopecia patients over the recent years.

Who can be the ideal iPRF candidate?

Anyone who is experiencing hair loss is eligible to undergo iPRF for hair restoration. It is important to know that the growth factors, stem cells, white blood cells and the platelets; all-important requisites of the treatment work best when awakening the dormant hair follicles.

Dormant hair follicles are still healthy and capable of re-growth as a result of which iPRF treatment works best when the patient avails it during the early hair loss phase.

It works well for both men and women. It is effective for people with hair thinning caused by tight hairstyles, inhibited hair growth and hair loss caused due to genetic conditions. It is also an ideal treatment for people experiencing thinning of hair but don’t want to resort to medications.

Preparation prior to iPRF treatment:

Your trichologist will discuss any supplements or other medicines that you have been taking and will advise putting a stop to any anti-inflammatory medications if needed owing to the fact that they can lead to bruising and bleeding.

It is advisable that you drink plenty of fluids and keep yourself hydrated for at least 3 days prior to your iPRF session.

Process of iPRF treatment:

Before we get into the particulars of iPRF, it is important that you know the process of both iPRF and PRP treatment might come across as the same to you however they are different when it comes to detailed particulars.

In iPRF,

• The patient’s blood is drawn, usually the same amount as needed for lab work typically. 
• The blood is then placed in a PRF centrifuge which operates at a lower speed to keep the white blood cells and stem cells together along with the blood platelets and plasma 
• The main focus here lies at harvesting platelet rich fibrin, which is enriched with nutrient and proteins that stimulate the stem cell in the hair follicles which will stimulate hair growth as well as thicken existing hair
• Post this step, the PRF is ready of injection 
• Next, the patient’s scalp is washed followed by application of topical anesthesia to reduce any discomfort 
• The PRF is injected into your scalp, in the targeted areas
• The injections are shallow injections made about every one half inch

One might experience short-term redness, swelling and minor discomfort in the treated area but this will last only for a few hours. The patient can resume work and other normal activities the very next day.

When to expect hair growth after iPRF?

The goal with conducting an iPRF treatment is two-fold. Firstly, the hair follicles need to stop transitioning for longer periods into the dormant phase of the hair re-growth cycle.

Secondly, the follicles need to be rendered with growth factors, stem cells and platelets in order to revive them and get the follicles to return to the growth phase.

You will notice a marked decrease in the hair shedding and hair thinning. And within the first 2 to 3 months of the treatment, you will see real hair growth as well.
