PRF Hair Loss Replacement Overview

Platelet-rich fibrin therapy offers a cutting-edge solution to hair loss by utilizing your body’s natural regenerative properties. By isolating powerful growth factors from your blood, PRF targets dormant hair follicles to encourage growth, improve scalp health, and increase hair density. With no surgery, minimal discomfort, and no recovery time required, PRF is ideal for men and women seeking a trusted, natural treatment for thinning hair.

How PRF Hair Loss Replacement Works

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) contains powerful growth factors that stimulate stem cells, promoting tissue healing and regeneration. While PRF has been safely used for over 20 years in plastic surgery, orthopedics, and wound care, its use in hair restoration is still emerging. Though long-term studies are ongoing, early results show promise for stimulating natural hair growth. The procedure is simple: a small blood sample is drawn, processed in a centrifuge to isolate PRF, and then applied to areas of hair loss. While not a cure, PRF offers a safe, non-surgical option that may enhance hair density and scalp health.

Benefits of a PRF Hair Loss Replacement Treatment

Patients choose PRF for its unique advantages, including:

  • Natural Healing: Uses your body’s own regenerative cells, avoiding synthetic methods.
  • Minimally Invasive: Avoid downtime and surgery-related complications.
  • Versatility: Effective on its own or as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
  • Thicker, Stronger Hair: Improved volume, texture, and strength in areas of thinning.
  • Enhanced Graft Survival: Complements hair transplants, improving success rates.
  • Safe and Trusted: PRF uses autologous platelets, ensuring safety and biocompatibility.

With PRF, your path to healthier, fuller hair starts with your body’s natural power.

PRF Hair Loss Replacement vs. Other Treatments

Frequently Asked Questions About PRF Hair Loss Replacement

A small amount of blood (10mL- about a tablespoon) is drawn in our office, just like a routine blood test. The blood is then spun in a centrifuge, which will separate the platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) from the other blood components that are not utilized. The highly concentrated platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is then injected into the scalp. An additional technique uses microneedling or a Profractional laser to make microscopic entry points in the skin of the scalp. PRF is then injected into the scalp. The procedure takes approximately 30 minutes, and the patients may drive themselves home. Early studies suggest that the procedure be repeated every three to six months for the best results.
