PRP Tube with Biotin – Designed for Advanced Hair Loss Treatments
IPPOCARE’s PRP Tube with Biotin is specifically engineered for professional hair restoration procedures. Each PET tube includes ACD-A anticoagulant, 2mL separation gel, and 0.5mL Biotin (Vitamin B7), a clinically supported nutrient used to strengthen follicles and support healthier regrowth.
This enhanced formula allows clinics to prepare nutrient-rich PRP without needing separate biotin injections or add-on serums — streamlining workflow and improving treatment efficiency.
How Biotin Enhances PRP Hair Treatment Outcomes
Biotin plays a vital role in keratin infrastructure and follicle metabolism. When combined with PRP, it may help:
✨ Strengthen weakened follicles
✨ Improve hair density and thickness
✨ Reduce breakage
✨ Support healthier post-transplant recovery
✨ Enhance overall treatment response in thinning areas
This makes the IPPOCARE Biotin Tube ideal for patients with:
✨ Androgenic alopecia
✨ Early hair thinning
✨ Diffuse shedding
✨ Weak follicle structure
Clinical reference: Biotin’s role in keratin synthesis and follicle metabolism is documented in peer-reviewed research available via the National Institutes of Health.
