The Science of Hair Restoration: How PDGF Can Help
Hair loss, whether from androgenetic alopecia, telogen effluvium, or other causes, can affect confidence and quality of life. Traditional treatments like topical minoxidil and oral finasteride are common, but regenerative medicine offers a more natural, long-term approach: injections with Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF).
PDGF is a protein found in platelets, acting as a cellular “messenger” that signals your body to repair and regenerate tissue. When used in hair restoration, it works with your body’s natural processes to stimulate dormant follicles and improve hair growth.
How PDGF Supports Hair Growth
Stimulates Hair Follicles: PDGF activates dermal papilla cells, helping hair follicles survive and enter a longer growth phase. Dormant follicles can be reawakened, supporting thicker, healthier hair.
Enhances Scalp Circulation: By promoting angiogenesis, PDGF improves blood flow to the scalp, delivering oxygen and nutrients that follicles need to thrive.
Encourages Tissue Remodeling: Over time, PDGF helps regenerate scalp tissue, creating an optimal environment for hair growth and improving hair density and texture.
PDGF vs. Traditional Hair Treatments
Minoxidil: Widens blood vessels and increases circulation to hair follicles.
Finasteride: Blocks DHT, a hormone linked to hair loss.
PDGF offers a different approach: it bio-stimulates your own cells, repairing and rejuvenating follicles for natural, long-lasting results without the systemic side effects of oral medications.
What to Expect
PDGF hair restoration injections are minimally invasive. Some treatments use a lab-engineered PDGF solution, while others use platelet-derived concentrates from your own blood. Mild redness or swelling may occur, usually resolving within 24–48 hours.
Results appear gradually; patients often notice improvements in hair shedding and texture within a few weeks, with increased density and thickness visible after several months of treatments.
For a natural, restorative approach to hair loss, PDGF injections offer a powerful solution, helping you achieve healthier, fuller hair.
