PRF Hair Restoration

PRF, short for platelet-rich fibrin, is a component derived from the natural human blood. The human blood contains numerous components, including platelets, red blood cells, and white blood cells. The platelets contain a high concentration of growth factors, components responsible for most of the healing activities in the body, such as blood clot formation and collagen production.

When platelet-rich fibrin is injected into the scalp, the growth factors immediately stimulate natural healing. The growth factors improve blood circulation to the head, form new blood vessels, and activate the dormant hair follicles. Over time, the dormant hair follicles start producing new hairs, making your hair look denser, thicker, and more luscious. You may need multiple PRF treatments for optimal results.

During your PRF hair restoration consultation, your doctor will assess your individual case in order to determine whether PRF hair restoration is right for you. They will discuss your goals, review your medical history, examine your scalp, and curate a personalized treatment plan.

PRF hair restoration is a three-step process. The cosmetic provider draws a small sample of your blood from your arm via a syringe. The PRF is isolated from the blood sample by spinning it in a centrifuge — the PRF rises to the top of the vial as a golden-colored liquid. Finally, the PRF serum is carefully and strategically injected into targeted areas on the scalp to stimulate natural hair regrowth. The treatment concludes within 30 minutes.

PRF hair restoration is a minimally invasive procedure with few side effects. The most common side effect is temporary redness and bruising at the injection site. You don’t have to worry about infections or allergic reactions because PRF is a natural product drawn from your body.

No, PRF hair restoration does not involve any downtime. You will be able to return to your normal activities immediately after the procedure. This procedure is so convenient that you can also start showering immediately after the treatment.

The results of PRF hair restoration are typically visible within 3-6 months. As the dormant hair follicles are activated, your hair will look denser and more luscious over several months. However, you may need additional PRF hair restoration sessions to see optimal results.

The results of PRF hair restoration are typically long-lasting. But you’ll need maintenance treatments once or twice a year to ensure your hair remains dense and luscious.

The number of PRF hair restoration treatments you will need will depend on your individual goals and needs. However, most patients only require 2 to 4 PRF hair restoration sessions spaced a month apart to see optimal results.
