HDC Hair Transplant Ranking

Injectable Platelet Rich Fibrin (I-PRF) Hair Treatment

iPRF stands for Injectable Platelet Rich Fibrin. It is a kind of cell based hair therapy that can potentially help promote healthy hair growth. The procedure uses the patient's own blood as growth factors to stimulate hair growth. Under HDC's iPRF protocol, the blood plasma is enriched with other platelets, fibrin and growth factors for maximum potency.

According to HDC medical team, "the resulting product is then injected into areas with desired end results to activate accelerated healing and regeneration. As a result, the body’s own powerful regenerative properties are concentrated and focused on the area of concern to triggers innate biological mechanisms leading to natural skin rejuvenation and/or prevention of hair loss."

iPRF can be used as a standalone hair therapy for men and women with hair loss or thinning hair. In addition, iPRF can also be used as an adjunct for FUE hair transplant to promote faster healing and hair regeneration. 

Difference between Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and Injectable Platelet Rich Fribin (iPRF)

Both PRP (platelet rich plasma), and PRF (platelet rich fibrin) are platelet based growth factor treatments that are extracted using centrifuge. PRF is different from PRP in that there is no anticoagulant added during the spin, the avoidance of clotting is physiological and is achieved through negative charge of the collecting tube to mimic the conditions within our own blood vessels (their lining is negatively charged) that prevent fibrin from creating a clot within them, thus, obtaining a platelet rich injectable fibrin. Once PRF is injected in the tissue it transforms from liquid into a gel, provide a powerful regenerative matrix that releases platelets’ growth factors in a controlled slow manner that enhances tissue regeneration and hair growth in a better way than PRP.

In addition, the enrichment of platelets in these two products is not the same. In PRP, the platelets are enriched two to four times above the physiological concentrations available in blood and there are very few circulating blood stem cells. In contrast, PRF contains all the platelets with no elimination of the powerful regenerative matrix (fibrin) in addition to another very rich source of growth factors and tissue regeneration: the circulating blood stem cells.

Why is Fibrin important for Hair Growth?

Fibrin functions as a matrix that traps the platelets and controls their release of growth factors “very slowly and continuously over a time period of more than one week”. Growth factors release rate into the target tissue is important for tissue receptors to respond over a prolonged period of time following treatment.  “It’s not the amount of growth factors that’s the most important, but it is released into the site.

SMP Scalp Micropigmentation or Scalp Trichopigmentation

Hair Simulation Without Surgery

Simulation of hair without surgery, that's what Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is all about. Sometimes this hair restoration technique is also referred to as Scalp Trichopigmentation. 

SMP is the latest in hair loss treatment. It is a derivative of traditional tattoo procedures but further refined with new technology to include an artistic element for camouflaging hair loss. The result is so natural, so artistically stylish and yet without the need for a full fledge surgical hair transplant surgery. Also, unlike hair transplant surgery, there is no long term commitment necessary. Patients will have the luxury to "undo" the treatment and consider other options if he so desires. It is one of the very few treatments that is truly reversible.

The process, while not a full blown surgery, does involve micro surgical accuracy which requires depositing microscopic color pigments to the patient's scalp in an artistic fashion.

The Trendy Clean Shaven, Non Balding Look

Trichopigmentation adds pigments or dots in the areas without them to make the whole head look the same. So, our shaven look can now appear as if we are not bald.

SMP or Scalp Trichopigmentation methods at other clinics very often does not look so natural because of the type of pigments used. Also the dots may spread over time and can also lose their black or dark colour and become blue.

The new SMP technique at HDC does not have any of these problems. Due to its advanced pigments it does not spread and does not change colour. It is not permanent so if you want to get rid of it, it will fade away in one to two years. Also, your needs change over time so you can adjust it the way you want every year since you will need to maintain it anyway, if you like it.

This is a simple technique, it takes only 3 hours to be finished and the results are achieved in the same day.

Below are some of the SMP Scalp Micropigmentation applications that are available at HDC. Most treatments require only 1 - 2 sessions.
