Statistics show that millions of men and women experience hair loss. If you're one of them, you may be searching for an effective solution. We proudly offer an innovative treatment with a strong track record of success: PRF therapy.
What is PRF?
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a component of your blood that is rich in platelets, which contain growth factors that promote healing and tissue regeneration. PRF has been used in various medical fields, including hair restoration, due to its regenerative properties.
How Does PRF Work for Hair Restoration?
PRF therapy stimulates hair follicles, encouraging them to enter an active growth phase. By injecting PRF into thinning areas of the scalp, growth factors may reactivate dormant follicles and improve hair density. Studies have shown that PRF can effectively support hair regrowth and complement other treatments. Growth factors in PRF include:
- Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF):Â Supports blood vessel growth and cell regeneration.
- Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF):Â Promotes the formation of new blood vessels.
- Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 (FGF-2):Â Encourages tissue healing and cell repair.
- Transforming Growth Factor-Beta (TGF-b):Â Plays a role in bone metabolism and cell structure formation.
- Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF):Â Supports collagen production, cell growth, and blood vessel formation.
- Insulin-Like Growth Factor (IGF):Â Regulates cell functions throughout the body.
PRF Hair Restoration Treatment
PRF can be applied to the scalp using two primary methods:
- Microneedling: Tiny micro-wounds are created on the scalp, allowing PRF to penetrate deeper into the skin. This process enhances absorption and stimulates hair follicles.
- Direct Injection: PRF is injected into thinning areas under a topical anesthetic. A small blood sample is taken, processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, and then injected into targeted areas.
Most patients require multiple treatments to achieve the best results.
How Long Does the PRF Procedure Take?
The process starts with a quick blood draw, followed by centrifugation to separate the platelets. While the PRF is prepared, a topical numbing agent is applied. Injections are then placed every half-inch in the thinning area. The entire treatment usually takes less than 30 minutes.
What Happens After the PRF Procedure?
Patients typically resume normal activities immediately. Some mild swelling or tenderness may occur but usually resolves quickly. It is advised to avoid anti-inflammatory medications after treatment, as they can interfere with PRF’s natural healing process.
When Will I See Results?
Results vary, but most patients notice reduced hair shedding within a few months. Over time, hair may become thicker and fuller. Consistent treatments are essential for maintaining long-term improvements.
Benefits of PRF Hair Restoration
PRF therapy offers several advantages:
- Natural Approach:Â Uses your own blood, minimizing the risk of adverse reactions.
- Minimally Invasive:Â Simple injections, no surgery required.
- Compatible with Other Treatments:Â Can be combined with medications or hair transplant procedures for enhanced results.
Research suggests PRF effectively supports hair regrowth with minimal side effects.
Are There Any Risks with PRF for Hair Restoration?
PRF therapy is generally safe, with a low risk of complications. Some individuals may experience mild discomfort, minor swelling, or temporary itching at injection sites, but these effects usually resolve quickly.
