A key, distinguishing feature of our Cytokine Rich Plasma is the addition of an extracellular "matrix" (ECM). Growth factor and ECM complexes may be among the most efficient methods to stimulate cell proliferation, as well as tissue healing or regeneration. Greco Hair Restoration uses a proprietary processing technique to create this natural protein matrix from the serum of your own blood. The purpose of the matrix is to provide a biological scaffold for the new cells and growth factors to attach and proliferate. Since it takes the body longer to break down the concentrated protein, the growth factors remain in the target area longer, promoting the formation of new blood supply to the follicles increasing the density of the hair shaft.
