Hair Loss Treatments for Men and Women using PRF Technology

Combining PRF (Platelet Rich Fibrin) & ACell injections to treat hair loss is the most advanced regenerative protocol today! It’s a very NATURAL process. Adding ACell reduces the need for more office visits and makes the treatments much more palatable and effective.

For hair restoration, PRF will be injected into the scalp. The application of PRF causes miniaturized hair follicles to become healthier and larger, producing more robust hair growth. PRF activates follicular progenitor cells (adult stem cells) and PRF is loaded with growth factors that promote rapid angiogenesis and localized cell growth. Effective for both male and female pattern hair loss, PRF has also regrown hair in alopecia area, eyebrow hypotrichosis and other patient cases with non-hereditary hair loss.

What is platelet rich fibrin PRF?

• PRF stands for Platelet-Rich FIBRIN

• A new effective treatment option for people who have severe forms of hair loss problems

• Stimulate human dermal fibroblasts and improve wrinkling

• It is considered a great alternative to surgery

• Safe and promotes natural healing

• Can increase the yield of transplanted follicular units for those with androgenetic alopecia

• Has full complement of clotting and growth factors

How long is recovery time?

The recovery from PRF therapy is typically uneventful. Pain is easily managed in most cases with non-narcotic analgesic medication such as Ibuprofen. Some mild swelling of the forehead is occasionally seen 4-6 hours after PRF injections. This is normal and will resolve in 48 hours. There is no other downtime or noticeable effects of the procedure. Patients can wash their hair normally immediately after the injections. A PRF treatment takes about 80 minutes to complete. First, a blood sample is obtained which is specially processed to produce the PRF. A local anesthetic is then administered to completely numb the scalp treatment area. If desired, a sedative can be administered. The PRF are combined and then administered via a series of injections over the full scalp or in a localized treatment area such as the eyebrows or beard.

How soon can I expect results?

New hair growth can be seen as early as 2 months, but is typically evident between 5-8 months and will continue to improve up to a year after treatment.
