PRF Hair Simulation Therapy
Platelet-Rich-Fibrin (PRF) is a new hair restoration treatment that delivers more concentrated and
nutrient-rich cell growth factors to revive dormant hair follicles. It is the first choice of treatment for
individuals at the earlier stages of hair loss and balding. The treatment uses the patient’s own blood to
generate a concentrated mixture of potent platelet and white blood cells that facilitates hair regrowth
and reverses hair thinning.
Who Needs/Candidates
PRF therapy may be a good choice for anyone going through early and mild stages of hair loss. If you see
new areas of balding and hair thinning, PRF therapy can quickly revive your hair follicles before they
become permanently inactive. The treatment works best when reinvigorating and healing the dormant
hair follicles and is therefore considered an excellent treatment for conditions like androgenic alopecia
and traction alopecia.
Other factors that make PRF therapy suitable for you include:
- You don't want to undergo invasive surgery
- You are at risk of developing complications from general anaesthesia.
- Oral and topical medication for hair loss have not worked for you.
- You don't want to face a long recovery period.
- You want to maintain the natural look of your hair.
Besides these, you should ensure that your hair follicles are healthy enough to respond successfully to
the treatment. It may not work as effectively for more severe cases of balding where hair follicles are
damaged beyond repair.
Results to Expect
PRF is well-known for its ability to begin improvement as soon as the first session is complete. Once your
scalp receives its first injection of platelets, the nutrients, vitamins, and platelets present will begin
nourishing and reviving your hair follicles. Within just three months, you will see the new hair growth
and improved density throughout the scalp. Some of the results you can expect include:
- More naturally placed hair growth
- Thicker and stronger hair
- Longer strands of hair after six months
- Natural reversal of hair loss
- A marked reduction in overall hair shedding
The exact outcomes of your treatment will depend on your individual situation, including the health of
your follicles, the number of damaged follicles, and your scalp’s response to it. Depending on the success
rate, you may see prominent growth before or after the average period of 3 months.
Treatment Goals
The primary goal of PRF therapy is to treat early and mild stages of hair loss without directly jumping to a
hair transplant. It stands out due to its ability to help struggling hair follicles naturally heal before they
die and require a replacement with a hair transplant.
Preparation/Pre-Op Care
A healthier lifestyle and diet will help you receive the treatment more effectively and avoid
complications in the future. Although PRP therapy is a non-invasive and lightweight treatment, it still
requires multiple preparation steps well in advance. Ensure that you engage in the following practices
before the appointment:
- Avoid excessive alcohol consumption and smoking for at least two weeks.
- Disclose to your doctor all the current medications you take.
- Eat a balanced diet and drink plenty of fluids to ease the blood withdrawal process
- Avoid taking any anti-inflammatory medication at least one week before treatment.
Treatment Steps
Your PRF therapy will begin with an in-depth consultation where you and your practitioner can discuss
the expected outcomes. A small amount of blood will be drawn from your arm (usually 20ml), which will
be used to create a more concentrated mixture of platelets, stem cells, and white blood cells. Once
separated, it will be injected into the problem areas of your scalp after administering topical anaesthesia.
Once the session is over, you can drive home yourself and resume all everyday activities
Recovery/Post-Op Care
Being a non-invasive hair restoration method, PRF therapy does not require any downtime. You are also
free from taking any prescription medication or engaging in intensive aftercare. However, make sure you
avoid the following for at least a few days:
- Using ice packs on the scalps as it can inhibit growth.
- Excessively touching your hair or scalp.
- Engaging in sports or other strenuous activities.
- Hair styling such as blow drying, curling, and straightening.
Benefits Expected
PRF therapy stands out due to its higher efficiency in delivering quicker and more visible results
compared to other non-surgical alternatives. It allows patients to restore any level of stunted hair
growth or hair loss without undergoing an invasive treatment. After the first session, all the dormant and
weak hair follicles will be immediately revived and begin to foster new hair growth. Because it uses the
body’s natural healing properties to repair the damaged follicles and create a nutrient-rich environment,
the results are more natural than hair transplants. Some of the highlights of PRF therapy include:
- Visible results within 3 to 6 months
- Thicker and denser hair growth.
- A higher concentration of platelets delivers superior growth.
- No use of additives such as anticoagulant agents
