  2. He / she then injects these at the treatment site (e.g., your face, your hairline) to stimulate the body’s own regeneration processes. 1
  3. The platelets contain growth factors that promote the production of cell-preserving substances, including collagen and hyaluronic acid. 2,3  The way platelets close wound and encourage healing also stimulates regeneration and cellular metabolism.
