Hair Restoration

FAQ's

What is PRF?

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is an advanced regenerative treatment that uses your body’s own platelets and growth factors to help stimulate hair follicles and support healthier, fuller hair growth.

PRF is created by drawing a small sample of your blood and spinning it in a specialized centrifuge to separate healing components rich in:

platelets
white blood cells
fibrin
growth factors

These natural regenerative cells are then injected into areas of the scalp experiencing thinning or hair loss.

Unlike traditional PRP, PRF contains no additives or anticoagulants and releases growth factors more slowly over time.

What Can PRF Help With?

PRF hair restoration may help improve:

thinning hair
early hair loss
hair shedding
weakened hair follicles
hair density
scalp health

Best results are often seen in patients with:

early to moderate hair thinning
androgenic hair loss
stress-related shedding
postpartum thinning

How Does Treatment Work?

Your appointment includes:

Blood draw
Processing of PRF
Targeted scalp injections into thinning areas

Treatment typically takes about:

45–60 minutes

Is There Downtime?

Most patients experience:

mild redness
tenderness
scalp sensitivity for 24–48 hours

Most people return to normal activities the same day.

When Will I See Results?

Hair restoration is gradual.

Many patients notice:

reduced shedding within 1–2 months
improved texture and thickness over several months
best results around 4–6 months

Consistency is important.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

3–4 treatments spaced about 4–6 weeks apart

Maintenance:

Recommendations vary based on:
