Hair Therapy

Platelet and Plasma Therapy

Hair therapy with platelets and plasma is very effective for many patients. We collect a small amount of your own blood and the platelets are isolated with the plasma. This platelets are used to stimulate stem cells and growth factors in your scalp.

Blood-Derived Growth Factors

The internal essence of your blood contains life-giving fundamental protein growth factors and stem cells. Dr. Melamed utilizes a leading-edge technology to super-concentrate your platelets and plasma to start the hair restoration process.

Growth Factor Production Known Effects

Epidermal Growth Factor (EFG)

Plays a significant role in the regulation of cell growth, proliferation and differentiation during the remodeling phase. Stimulates keratinocyte and fibroblast production.

Transforming Growth Factor (TFG)

Promotes angiogenesis which is the physiological process involving the growth of new blood vessels.

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF)

An important signaling protein involved in both vasculogenesis and angiogenesis that may help the growth of blood vessels from pre-existing vasculature.

Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF)

Promotes angiogenesis, granulation, and epithelialization for the intricate process of tissue repairing itself after injury.

Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF)

Attracts macrophages and fibroblasts to the zone of injury. Promotes collagen growth and proteoglycan synthesis.

Collagen Stimulating Growth Factor

Stimulates granulocyte and macrophage proliferation for the growth of healthy tissue and blood cells.

Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF)

Keratinocyte migration, differentiation, and proliferations may optimize conditions for healing and the generation of new skin.

Interleukins, Macrophages, Keratinocytes, Endothelial Cells, Lymphocytes, Fibroblasts, Osteoblasts, Basophils, Mast Cells

Activates fibroblast differentiation. Induces collagen and proteoglycan synthesis for healthy cell production and repair of damaged tissues.

The internal essence of your blood contains life-giving fundamental protein growth factors and stem cells. Platelet+Plasma therapy utilizes your own healing capabilities to stimulate hair growth. Dr. Melamed is able to derive a high concentration of tissue for a variety of treatments.

What to expect of your treatment?

All consultations and treatments are provided exclusively by Dr. Melamed.
Dr. Melamed will draw a small amount of blood similar to what is required for a lab test.
Dr. Melamed places the blood into a centrifuge and spins the blood at a very rapid rate to separate the platelets from the other components of the blood.
Your platelets and plasma is then separates and prepared for injection using an FDA-approved process.
Because everything in this process is exclusively from your own body (autologous in origin), there is virtually no risk of intolerance.
Dr. Melamed will then use your platelets and plasma for the appropriate scalp treatment.
