What are hair follicles and how do they help with hair growth?
A hair follicle is similar to a pore and is found within the top two layers of skin. Each follicle surrounds a hair root and strand and around 1 million of them can be found on your head alone.
Hair follicles relate to hair growth as one of its main jobs is to grow individual hair strands – and over your lifetime, the hair follicle can start and stop functioning at any time.
Hair loss is a common side effect of damaged or degenerating hair follicles, while increased hair growth, hair density, and hair thickness come from a well-performing, healthy follicle.
Injecting platelet-rich plasma into the scalp, as part of PRP therapy, encourages hair follicle health and regeneration – helping to stimulate hair growth, making it an effective hair loss treatment.
