What is Hair PRF?
Hair PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is an advanced regenerative treatment used to stimulate hair growth and improve hair density. It involves drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood, processing it to concentrate the fibrin and growth factors, and injecting this concentrate into the scalp. PRF is considered more effective than PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) due to its higher concentration of growth factors and slower release, which promotes better tissue regeneration.
Pre-Procedure Care:
- Avoid blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen) for at least a week prior.
- Stay well-hydrated and eat a healthy meal before the procedure.
- Wash your hair thoroughly the night before or the day of the procedure.
Procedure:
- A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient.
- The blood is processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich fibrin from other components.
- The PRF concentrate is loaded into syringes.
- The scalp is cleaned and numbed with a local Anaesthetic.
- PRF is injected into areas of the scalp with thinning hair or hair loss.
- The entire procedure takes about 60-90 minutes.
Post-Procedure Care:
- Avoid washing your hair for at least 24 hours.
- Avoid strenuous exercise and sweating for the first 24-48 hours.
- Avoid sun exposure and use a gentle shampoo for the first few days.
- Follow any additional post-care instructions provided by your doctor.
Downtime:
- Minimal downtime; mild redness and swelling at the injection sites may occur but typically resolve within a day or two.
Sessions Needed:
- Typically, 3-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart are recommended for optimal results.
- Maintenance sessions may be needed every 6-12 months.
Areas Treated:
- Scalp (primarily areas with thinning hair or hair loss)
Benefits:
- Stimulates new hair growth
- Increases hair density and thickness
- Improves hair strength and health
- Uses the patient’s own blood, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions or complications
Hair PRF offers a natural and effective way to combat hair loss and promote hair growth with minimal downtime and a high safety profile. The concentrated growth factors and slow release of nutrients provide sustained benefits for hair regeneration.
