Vampire Hair Restoration® is the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), often mixed with peptides to promote hair growth. To be successful the scalp must have active hair follicles. Bald areas which are smooth and shiny are not candidates for hair restoration procedures, however, may do well with hair transplant.The growth factors in PRP affect the hair follicles in 3 specific ways. It will alter all three phases of hair growth. 

Anagen (Growth Phase): Nourishment of the follicle from the blood supply attached at the papilla. The PRP creates new blood vessels to help feed this new hair and prolong the growth phase.  

Catagen (Transition Phase):The hair detaches from the papilla (and blood supply), The hair is not actively growing at this point, but the PRP will nourish these hairs and prevent apoptosis (cell death). 

Telogen (Resting Phase):Hairs are waiting to fall out. PRP will lengthen the time in the  phase, allowing dormant hairs to stay on the scalp longer, and shortens the time for a transition back to anagen 

Androgenic Alopecia:

- Androgenetic alopecia is a common form of hair loss in both men and women. In men, hair is usually lost in a well-defined pattern, beginning above both temples and is usually referred to as male-pattern baldness. Over time, the hairline recedes to form a characteristic 'M' shape. Hair also thins near the top of the head, often progressing to partial or complete baldness. The pattern of hair loss in women differs from men (female pattern hair loss). In women, the hair becomes thinner all over the head, and the hairline does not recede. Androgenetic alopecia in women rarely leads to total baldness.

Hormonal imbalance:

-Hair loss during menopause and perimenopause is common due to declining estrogen levels. As estrogen levels fall, the resulting imbalance between estrogen and testosterone can cause thinning hair on certain areas of the head that are sensitive to testosterone. Hair loss can also be seen with changes in the level of thyroid hormone.

Traction Alopecia:

-Acquired hair loss that results from prolonged  or repetitive tension on the scalp hair. It was first described in 1907 in subjects from Greenland who had developed hair loss along the hairline due to prolonged wearing of tight ponytails.  

Alopecia Aereata:

-A common autoimmune skin disease, causing hair loss on the scalp, face and sometimes on other areas of the body, Affects as many as 6.8 million people in the U.S. with a lifetime risk of 2.1%. 

Telogen Effluvium:

-A form of temporary hair loss that usually happens after stress, a shock, or a traumatic event. It usually occurs on the top of the scalp. Many feel this is one of the causes of hair loss post CoVid.
