The combination of a patients Platelet Rich Plasma and various Growth Factors, along with hair restoration surgery has multiple advantages. Numerous independent studies demonstrate that growth factors promote wound healing and tissue regeneration, decrease scar collegian, increase wound tensile strength. In addition, when leukocytes (white blood cells that fight infection ) are increased , as occurs in PRP, the incidence of infection decreases so application of PRP in donor sites (strip or FUE) is advantageous.

Other studies indicate basting follicular units in concentrated PRP may increase follicular yield and produces less crusting post operative. Injecting concentrated amounts of of growth factors, specifically (VEGF) promote increased circulation to the follicle and five independent studies demonstrate the follicle will get bigger so it has advantages with non transplanted hair.

This author has been doing hair restoration surgery 27 years and noticed faster healing, and more mature growth sooner when a combination of GF's and surgery are used. The patient in the video had Bio Cellular therapy and "one" hair restoration procedure or 2,000 FU's and these are his results in less than one year.
