Combination of PRP (platelet Rich Plasma) and Micro Needling for Alopecia.

Overview  
Combining platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and microneedling is an effective, minimally invasive treatment for androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss) that improves hair density and thickness better than either treatment used alone 

Science behind the use of Combination of PRP and Micro Needling for 
Alopecia: 

Microneedling 
Microneedling uses tiny needles to create controlled punctures in the scalp, triggering the body's natural wound-healing response. This leads to stimulation of stem cells and inducing activation of growth factors. With microneedling, there is a better absorption of topically applied adjunctive medicine, such as RPR in this case.

Additionally, wounding of the tissue with microneedling creates the cascade and migration of additional growth factors and stem cells leading to their increased tissue expression, particularly hair follicle growth factors and stem cells, which is the specific desired result in this case.

PRP (Platelet Rich plasma)  
Uses injections of a patient's own concentrated blood platelets to accelerate healing and tissue growth. It supplies a concentrated dose of platelets rich in growth factors directly to weakened or dormant hair follicles, jumpstarting the regeneration process.
Platelets contain growth factors that are complex proteins that initiate and organize growing tissue by forming a fibrin stand (mesh) or extra cellular matrix under skin. Fibrin, Fibronectin, and Vitronectin.
PRP contains stem cells that are concentrated which allows for cell division for growth as well as being able to attract additional stem cells to the repair site. Stem cells then differentiate from each other, and tissue formation occurs.  
Once these proteins and growth factors bind to cellular receptors, they activate intercellular events which help meditate:  

-Angiogenesis (formation/growth of new blood vessels)   
-New cell proliferation

-Migration of stem cells to area  

-Production of extracellular matrix proteins (increased collagen production) 

 
Benefits of PRP 
Patient Safety: 
• Natural and Non-toxic.  
• No adverse or allergic reaction.  
Convenience: PRP treatments at your physician’s practice.  
• Simple to use: no need for external materials for injection. 

Important Notes regarding this Procedure: 
• The use of PRP is Strictly off label for hair loss. Physicians may use PRP on patients, so long as it is not specifically marketed or promoted to patients for hair loss. 
• Many physicians follow the injections with LED light (660-950nm) exposure for 5 to 10 minutes and can be repeated weekly. 
• Patients should be advised to use a gentle, daily hair shampoo and conditioner. 
Patients using minoxidil or finasteride may resume using these products at (3) 
weeks. 
• The underlying Testosterone/DHT conversion in men usually does not yield great results since the underlying issues remain untreated. In women, hair loss is typically 
endocrine system related and yields more dramatic results in reversing hair loss 
• PRP as a stand-alone treatment for males usually does not have the same results as in women. However, PRP is very popular as part of combination therapies such as using in conjunction with prescription medications, red LED lights, and transplantation procedures (greater uptake of the grafts). 
• There are so many causes of hair loss/alopecia. In medical hair loss treatment, 
treatment should always be personalized as there is no ‘one size fits all’ type of 
therapy.
