ody cosmetic medicine and surgery, PRP has an important future, both in its own right and in combination with other therapies,’ says Dr Konrat. Regen PRP for hair loss Regen Lab is tackling hair loss from all fronts. By boosting scalp health, accelerating hair regrowth and promoting regeneration of the hair follicle, Regen PRP is both a restorative and preventative measure against hair loss. Most importantly, it’s also natural, homogeneous and non-surgical. Sydney hair transplant surgeon Dr Johnathan Chan has been using Regen PRP treatment alongside surgical hair transplant procedures for the past two years. He explains it can achieve effective results both as a standalone and conjunctive procedure. ‘One patient, a 53-year-old gentlemen, presented to me hoping to thicken his thinning hair with surgery,’ says Dr Chan. ‘I suggested trying Regen PRP to rescue as much hair as possible, and then use surgery to thicken up any areas that did not respond. In the end, the PRP-treated area became much thicker, beyond what we initially expected. Because of this, the patient only needed a small hair transplant, just to make the hairline perfect. This wouldn’t have been possible if he didn’t have so much hair restored by PRP.’ Once PRP is injected into the treatment site, the concentrated blood platelets release proteins called growth factors, which communicate with the body’s cells to trigger natural regenerative processes. ‘PRP provides a concentrated dose of growth factors to stimulate tissue repair and rejuvenation,’ explains New Zealand cosmetic physician Dr Paul Nola, who has been using PRP to treat hair loss since 2008. ‘Hair follicles respond to these growth factors and can reactivate if resting, or grow thicker, healthier hair if active. Treatment has been shown to hasten reversal of alopecia areata and to slow or temporarily reverse male and female pattern hair loss.’ Although there are several PRP systems on the market, RegenLab PRP has a unique centrifugation process. Designed to yield the optimal concentration of blood platelets, Regen PRP gives the physician the options to increase the platelet concentration to four times the patients baseline if needed. PRP is totally autologous; the patient’s plasma is harvested within five minutes and then injected immediately back into the patient, without any extra manipulations or incubations to the patient’s PRP. ‘Regen is an easy-to-use system that is cost- and time-effective for the patient,’ Dr Chan explains. ‘The PRP Regen PRP for treating hair loss • Regen PRP fuels the scalp with growth factors to stimulate hair follicles and encourage hair regrowth • Increased blood flow after Regen PRP treatment aids in hair restoration • Regen PRP boosts the health and condition of the scalp to facilitate hair growth • Collagen and elastin production is promoted with Regen PRP; this can help yield more grafts in hair transplant surgery • Regen PRP can help accelerate the recovery of the scalp post hair transplant surgery • Regen PRP prevents and slows down further hair loss by improving the condition of the scalp and hair follicles concentration can be easily adjusted to tailor the treatment according to each individual patient.’ A thorough consultation process is required to establish the best treatment plan with Regen PRP. In some cases, Regen PRP is used alongside hair transplant surgery to achieve optimum results. The PRP treatment assists in recovery following surgery, and helps optimise hair growth following a hair transplant procedure. ‘The fact that PRP is a biological product means there is variability between individuals, in how many platelets they have and how effective their platelets and PRP will be in regrowing hair,’ Dr Nola explains. ‘I treat hair loss with multiple modalities, including Regen PRP, prescription medicine, supplements, lifestyle adjustments, needle rolling and light-based therapy. Antiinflammatory tablets must be avoided for two weeks before PRP treatment, as they can disable platelet activity.’ As with any medical or cosmetic procedure, a thorough consultation between patient and practitioner is necessary. Generally, the healthier the patient, the better the results. Commonly, a series of three treatments, four to six weeks apart, are performed to achieve the best result, however this can be altered according to the patient’s needs. ‘Every case is different, however, good results have been witnessed in many hair loss patients. Importantly, PRP triggers natural processes inside the scalp, which means effective results can be achieved with minimal risk and downtime. In fact, most patients return to work right after the procedure,’ Dr Chan concludes. csbm 76 www.cosbeauty.com.au
ody Is Regenerative Medicine the way of the Future? Regenerative medicine research: • Investigates ways to help the human body repair, replace, restore and regenerate damaged tissues and organs • Uses cells, genes or other biological building blocks, along with bioengineered materials and technologies • Focuses on restoring the remarkable tissue regenerative capacity that all humans have before birth Regenerative medicine scientists are asking: • How do some human tissues (our skin, blood cells and lining of the digestive tract) naturally regenerate? • What determines this ability of cells? What switches it on and off? • How do newts re-grow their tail or limb, or fish regenerate their fins or heart? What biological and molecular processes make this happen? • Do the parts of our bodies that do not regenerate (such as the brain and heart) retain a latent ability to regenerate? Regenerative medicine could: • Halt, reverse and prevent damage to vital organs such as kidneys, livers and even hearts • Grow new vital organs for people with organ failure due to disease, injury or genetic conditions • Treat and cure diabetes through stem cell therapies • Reverse the effects of neuro-degenerative diseases such as dementia, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease • Stop the body attacking itself in autoimmune diseases including multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, Crohn’s disease and rheumatoid arthritis • Treat cancer by building on current stem cell therapies such as bone marrow transplants for leukaemia • Prevent ageing Regenerative medicine can involve: • Regeneration of tissues by injecting or implanting regeneration-competent cells (usually derived from adult or embryonic stem cells) • Protecting cells and tissue from damage due to disease or injury (eg, by preventing cell death) • Inducing regeneration in tissue by recruitment of a patient’s own cells to the tissue or using proteins or gene delivery to stimulate cell division in the tissue • Prevention of inflammation and scarring in tissues to better enable the use of these methods www.cosbeauty.com.au 77
