PRF stands for platelet-rich fibrin, a minimally invasive injectable treatment that uses a patient's own blood to rejuvenate skin and tissue. It's made from a protein matrix called fibrin that contains white blood cells and stem cells. PRF hair restoration is a non-surgical regenerative treatment that can stimulate hair growth and improve hair density by harvesting the body’s natural healing abilities.
Here's how PRF hair restoration works:
- Blood draw: A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient.
- Plasma separation: The blood is processed in a centrifuge to separate the plasma and the blood cells into layers.
- Injection: The PRF layer is drawn into small syringes and injected in the skin of the patient's scalp where hair growth is desired. PRF hair restoration can help with Hair loss: PRF can help with both male and female pattern hair loss and baldness. Hair follicle health: PRF can help revitalize hair follicles, making them healthier and encouraging hair growth.
- PRF hair restoration is generally a series of 4 -8 treatments, spaced 2-6 weeks apart. Patients can usually return to their regular activities after treatment, but there may be some side effects like tenderness, swelling, bleeding, bruising, itching, and/or scabs.
- The number of PRF hair restoration treatments needed varies by person and depends on the cause and severity of hair loss: Initial treatments: Typically, 3–4 treatments are recommended, spaced about a month apart. Maintenance treatments: After the initial series, maintenance treatments are usually recommended every 3–6 months for the first year.
- Frequency after the first year: After the first year, the frequency of treatments can be reduced to one every 6 months or once a year based on the patient's hair regrowth needs.
