What Is PRF Hair Restoration?

PRF therapy is a natural and effective treatment option for hair restoration. Its regenerative properties, high concentration of growth factors, and minimally invasive nature make it an appealing alternative to traditional hair loss treatments. As research continues to explore the potential benefits of PRF therapy, it may become a more widely used treatment option for those seeking to restore their hair. It’s suitable for restoring hair in both men and women. PRF is one of the best hair restoration treatments known as stem cell hair restoration for stimulating hair regrowth and awakening dormant hair follicles.

How Does PRF Work?

PRF therapies use platelets from your blood to stimulate the growth of new cells and tissues. The platelets contain several growth factors, nutrients, and proteins that can heal damaged hair follicles and regrow hair in places affected by thinning or balding. PRF hair restoration therapy’s effects often take six to 12 weeks.

What Are the Benefits Of PRF Hair Loss Treatment?

PRF hair loss treatment offers numerous benefits for women and men who want to thicken or restore thinning hair.

PRF hair restoration is non-surgical and involves no cutting, incisions, or scarring. You will not be required to wear bandages on your head following the procedure or take time off work to heal and recover. This hair loss treatment is relatively painless and does not require general anesthesia. However, we may apply local anesthesia and a topical numbing cream to minimize any discomfort associated with this procedure.

PRF hair loss treatment can also save you time and money compared to many prescription or over-the-counter hair loss treatments. Conventional hair loss treatments do not always work for everyone, which can be frustrating for those seeking effective hair restoration therapy. PRF hair restoration is safe and effective and can be performed in one fast, convenient appointment. This therapy is well worth the cost for those who no longer want to waste time and money experimenting with other hair growth treatments.

Am I a good candidate for PRF for hair?

If you are experiencing hair loss or hair thinning, then you’re most likely a good candidate for PRF hair therapy. You’ll see the best results the earlier you start treatment while your hair still has the capacity to grow. PRF is good hair restoration for both women and men.

PRF vs. PRP

There are a few key distinctions that put PRF on top:

● PRF requires less blood to be drawn than PRP.

● PRF has advanced healing properties – PRF is spun at a lower speed, allowing more white blood cells and stem cells to remain in the platelet layer collected for treatment.

● PRF products contain approximately 10x the platelet concentration found within the body.

PRF Hair Restoration Procedure

PRF therapy for hair restoration is a simple and minimally invasive procedure that typically takes less than an hour to complete.

The procedure involves the following steps:

Blood Collection: First, a small amount of blood is drawn from the patient's arm. The collected blood is then placed in a centrifuge and spun at high speeds to separate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from the other blood components.

PRF Preparation: The separated PRP is processed further to create platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) therapy, a more advanced form of PRP. This is done by adding calcium chloride to the collected PRP, which activates the platelets and causes them to release growth factors and other healing compounds.

Anesthesia: The treatment area is then cleaned and numbed with a topical anesthetic to ensure patient comfort during the procedure.

PRF Injection: In hair loss or thinning areas, the PRF solution is injected into the scalp. The injections are typically given at multiple sites across the scalp to ensure maximum coverage and effectiveness.

Recovery: Patients can return to their daily activities immediately after the injections. Mild discomfort or redness at the injection site may occur, but this typically resolves within a few days.

What do I need to know about PRF aftercare?

PRF has no downtime, so it’s an ideal procedure even to have done during your lunch hour. Standard over-the-counter pain relievers will take care of you if you feel sore. Do not take anti-inflammatories, as they will disrupt the intended effect of the PRF. Mild swelling is normal and part of the process. You cannot wash your hair for two days after the procedure. There are no limitations on styling. However, if your scalp is tender, waiting a day or two to use blow-drying or heated tools will minimize discomfort.
