PRF Therapy

What Is PRF Hair Restoration?

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) hair restoration is a non-surgical and minimally invasive regenerative treatment that uses components derived from your own blood to support hair growth and scalp health.

PRF is created through a specialized, low-speed centrifugation process that preserves platelets, white blood cells, and fibrin in a natural matrix. This structure allows growth factors to be released gradually over time, providing longer-lasting stimulation to hair follicles.

PRF is designed to improve follicle function, scalp circulation, and the overall hair growth environment.

How Is PRF Different From PRP?

PRF is considered an advanced form of platelet-based therapy when compared to PRP.

Key differences include:

• PRF contains a fibrin matrix, which allows for a slower and more sustained release of growth factors.
   
• PRF may provide longer-lasting regenerative signaling to hair follicles.
   
• PRF is processed without additives, allowing for a more natural concentration of regenerative components.
   
• PRP releases growth factors more quickly, while PRF delivers them over time.
   

Who Is a Good Candidate for PRF?

PRF hair restoration may be suitable for individuals who:

• Have early to moderate hair thinning.
   
• Want a more advanced regenerative option than traditional PRP.
   
• Experience hair shedding or reduced hair density.
   
• Are seeking gradual, natural-looking improvement.
   

A consultation is recommended to determine whether PRF is appropriate based on your hair condition and goals.

Benefits of PRF Hair Therapy

• Non-surgical and minimally invasive.
   
• Uses your body’s own regenerative components.
   
• Provides a slower, sustained release of growth factors.
   
• Supports healthier, stronger hair follicles.
   
• Improves scalp health and circulation.
   
• Minimal downtime.

How to Prepare for PRF Treatment

To help optimize your treatment results, patients are generally advised to:

• Wash your hair the morning of your appointment.
   
• Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements as directed by your provider.
   
• Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your appointment.
   
• Avoid excessive sun exposure to the scalp before treatment.

What to Expect After Treatment

After PRF hair restoration, most patients are able to return to normal daily activities shortly after their visit.

You may experience:

• Mild scalp tenderness or sensitivity.
   
• Temporary redness or swelling at treatment sites.
   
• A feeling of tightness in the scalp.

Results and Treatment Plan

Hair restoration results with exosome therapy develop gradually.

• Reduced shedding may be noticed first.
   
• Hair quality and density may improve over time.
   
• Multiple sessions or combination therapy may be recommended.
   

Your provider will customize a treatment plan based on your hair condition and response.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Q: Will I be in pain after?
A: You may experience mild soreness for 24 to 48 hours after PRF mesotherapy injections. Microneedling treatments typically have less post-treatment discomfort.

Q: Will I need multiple sessions?
A: Yes. Best results are typically seen with a series of treatments.

Q: Will I see results immediately?
A: Hair growth is a gradual process, so results are not immediate. Improvements develop over time, especially with multiple sessions and when combined with other supportive treatments.
