What is PRP/PRF Hair Restoration?

If you’re dealing with hair thinning or hair loss but surgery and medication are out of the question, PRP/PRF hair restoration could be the life-changing treatment that restores your confidence and your mane. This non-surgical, 100% natural procedure uses the regenerative power of your body’s own platelets and fibrin to stimulate hair growth, improve hair density, and restore fuller, thicker hair.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRFM (Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix) hair restoration are innovative treatments that use the natural growth factors found in your blood to promote hair regrowth. PRP and PRF are derived from a small blood sample taken from your body. This blood is processed using a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets and fibrin, which are rich in growth factors that encourage tissue regeneration, stimulate dormant hair follicles, and promote healthy hair growth.

PRP is the liquid form of platelet-rich plasma, while PRF is a more advanced version, containing a higher concentration of platelets and growth factors that work together to heal and regenerate the skin and hair follicles. These treatments are minimally invasive and can help those suffering from various forms of hair loss, including androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness) and thinning hair.

Unlike other treatment options, PRF stimulates natural hair growth using the regenerative properties of concentrated growth factors.

PRP/PRF hair restoration is effective for a variety of hair loss concerns, including:

• Androgenetic Alopecia: Also known as male or female pattern baldness, this condition leads to thinning hair or bald spots, particularly along the hairline and crown.

• Hair Thinning: PRP/PRF can address overall thinning hair delivering an increase in hair density and hair thickness.

• Dormant or Inactive Hair Follicles: If your hair follicles are not actively producing hair, this treatment can stimulate them back into growth.

• Female Hair Loss: Women experiencing thinning or hair loss due to hormonal imbalances, pregnancy, or other factors can benefit from PRP/PRF.

• Improving Hair Texture and Strength: PRP/PRF enhances the health of existing hair, making it stronger, thicker, and more resistant to damage.

How is PRP/PRF Hair Restoration Performed?

The process starts with a quick and simple blood draw. The blood is then processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelets and fibrin from the rest of the blood components. Once the PRP or PRF is ready, it is directly injected into the scalp at areas with thinning or lost hair. These injections deliver growth factors that stimulate dormant hair follicles and encourage them to enter the active growth phase, ultimately leading to natural hair regrowth.

The treatment works by enhancing blood circulation in the scalp, improving the health of existing hair follicles, and boosting the production of new hair.

Most patients report minimal discomfort, and a topical numbing agent is applied to the scalp to ensure comfort during the procedure. There is no downtime required, and you can resume your normal activities immediately after treatment.

Downtime & Recovery

PRP/PRF hair restoration is a minimally invasive treatment with minimal recovery time. After the procedure, you may experience mild redness or swelling in the treated areas, which typically resolves within a few hours to a couple of days. There may also be mild bruising at the injection sites, but this is temporary.

There is no need for any significant downtime, and most patients can resume their normal activities right away. It’s important to avoid washing your hair or using harsh hair products for the first 24 hours after the procedure to allow the growth factors to work effectively.
