Understanding the Hair Growth Cycle

Stage 1 – Hair Follicle Induction

• Switching from Catagen/Telogen to Anagen Phase 
• Induction of new follicular bulb 
• There are two specific growth factors and one skin protein that are most likely responsible for this process that are included in the KFP™ Formula 

Stage 2 – Follicle Formation via Stem Cell Proliferation

• Increases the amount of growth factors around the induced follicle unit 
• This process is mainly controlled by 4 separate growth factors
• The growth factors exhibit similar properties to wound healing , hence why PRP is theorized to help at this early stage, however predicable concentrations of these growth factors limit the consistency of PRP

Stage 3 – Growth of the hair shaft

• Includes the determination of Hair Density, Length and Color                                              
• The growth factors responsible like EGF are not usually found in PRP, but are imperative for hair color and thickness 
• There are also skin proteins expressed at this stage to fuel in reaction of this process

Stage 4 – Microcirculation Maintenance

• Both Growth factors and particular Skin Proteins and can help to cause Neo- vascularization/angiogenesis around the follicle 
• Common vaso-dilating skin agents and manual massage are also used during this stage to enhance topical penetration and maintain a healthy scalp circulation                                      
• Mechanical massage and/or Red Light can also effect scalp circulatory health. (Increasing scalp circulation can help in the absorption of topical products)
