The active ingredient in PRP, platelets, is rich in growth factors. Platelet-derived growth factors (PDGF, TGF, FGF-2, VEGF, EGF), insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1), and neurotrophic factors support cell regeneration, differentiation, and vascularization processes, thereby promoting hair growth. PRP hair treatment extends the first and most effective phase of the hair growth cycle by improving the quality of hair follicles. As a result, the hair in areas treated with PRP becomes healthier, stronger, and more vibrant, with accelerated growth.

PRP nourishes the transplanted hair follicles, ensuring that the new hair is thicker and more durable. It also accelerates tissue repair, maximizing the effect of the hair transplant.
