Thank you!

Most of the studies showing positive results in hair rejuvenation have been with PRP. PRF has been used extensively in the dental and orthopedic fields. PRF has a significantly higher number of leukocytes which is not helpful in hair rejuvenation. Furthermore, with increased fibrin, PRF is more difficult to inject and less likely to spread to adjacent follicles. Subdermal Depo injection is not possible. Because of the disadvantages, without subsequent proven advantages, PRP is the gold standard in hair rejuvenation.Jeff Rapaport MDRealself Verified All-star

Hi katcannon

PRP therapy is one of the most sought after cosmetic treatments in the industry due to its natural origin and thrilling results. The treatment uses a patient’s very own plasma to stimulate the skin, concealing the prevalence of wrinkles. When injected into the scalp, it helps stimulate hair growth for a fuller head of hair.

Both PRFM and PRP both can increase hair growth. In our clinic specifically, we have seen better results with PRFM versus PRP.
