PRF Hair Restoration
Injectables
PRF (Platelet Rich Fibrin) is the next generation of PRP. Use your body's own growth factors to regrow hair and prevent hair loss.
What is platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) treatment?
Known to be the second generation of PRP, the Platelet rich fibrin matrix obtained during your service, is made up of growth factors and stem cells, from your own blood. Drawn and centrifuged in a newer process, that is both highly efficient, and proprietary, PRF requires a very specific centrifuge system, that uses a slower, longer spinning process to separate the fibrin and growth factors from the red blood cells. This allows us to keep all active cells and growth factors in tact for immediate use! Instantly the stem cell cascade effect is set in action.
How does it work for hair loss?
Hair follicles start to shrink and die due to lack of blood supply and insufficient nourishment. PRF helps stimulate hair growth in patients by increasing blood supply to the hair follicles. The increase in blood supply provides nourishment to hair follicles, which increases follicle diameter and leads to thicker hair shafts. This increased nourishment also stimulates new follicle growth, and thus new hair growth.
Who benefits the most?
PRF works best in patients with hair loss patterns typical of alopecia and in patients that started experiencing hair loss within the last five years. The earlier PRF is started the better the results will be. Patients that have been experiencing hair loss for more than five years or exhibit other types of hair loss might see some improvement in hair growth from PRF.
Oral hormone medications can have undesirable side effects, and topical hormone medications can be messy and difficult to apply. In addition, some patients simply do not respond to hormone hair loss medications. For these reasons, PRF treatments can be a great alternative to medication.
For patients able to tolerate and see results from hormone hair loss medications, using PRF treatments in conjunction has been shown to dramatically enhance hair growth.
