PRF stands for platelet-rich fibrin, which is a natural concentrate created from your own blood sample. This fibrin matrix is rich in platelets, growth factors, and stem cells that stimulate sleeping hair follicles, strengthen existing hair, and encourage new growth over time.
What is the difference between PRF and PRP?
Both PRF and PRP use your own blood's healing properties. However, PRF is 100% natural, containing no additives or anti-coagulants. It also releases growth factors more slowly and steadily, resulting in longer-lasting stimulation of the hair follicles. This makes PRF the next generation of platelet therapy, offering more consistent results.
How is the procedure performed?
The procedure is simple and comfortable. We draw a small amount of your own blood, spin it in a special centrifuge, and collect the plasma layer. That plasma is gently injected into the microneedle areas of thinning hair. Each session takes about 30 to 40 minutes, and there's no downtime. You can resume your normal activities the same day.
How many sessions are needed?
Most patients benefit from a series of three to four sessions spaced about a month apart. After that, maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months help sustain hair growth and thickness. You'll typically begin to notice visible improvement within 2 to 3 months as new growth emerges.
Is PRF safe?
Because PRF comes entirely from your own blood, it's biocompatible and extremely safe. There's no risk of an allergic reaction or rejection. You may experience some minor redness or tenderness in the treated area for a day or two, but this quickly subsides.
Who can benefit from PRF?
PRF works best for individuals experiencing early-stage hair thinning, a receding hairline, or areas of reduced density. Both men and women can benefit. During a consultation, we'll evaluate your scalp health and determine the best treatment for you.
How long do the results last?
Once new growth develops, results can last a year or longer. With regular maintenance sessions, most patients enjoy thicker, stronger, and healthier hair long-term. Consistency is the key to keeping those follicles active and the hair cycle balanced.
