Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) hair restoration is a non-surgical procedure that involves injecting PRF into the scalp to stimulate hair growth and combat hair loss.
PRF hair restoration uses the patient’s blood, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions and complications. It provides a natural method to stimulate hair growth and is effective for both male and female pattern hair loss. It also enhances hair regrowth post-hair transplants.
PRF hair restoration involves drawing a blood sample from the patient, centrifuging it at a slower speed to collect a higher concentration of growth factors, and injecting the PRF directly into the scalp. Treatment sessions are scheduled every 4-6 weeks, with a minimum of three treatments recommended. Post-procedure care includes avoiding hair washing for eight hours and sun exposure for at least a week.
Patients may experience mild pain, swelling, soreness, and bruising at the injection sites, but these side effects are usually temporary and do not require pain medication. Following the post-procedure care instructions is crucial for optimal recovery and results.
PRF hair restoration can increase hair growth and improve hair density. Results may vary, with some patients noticing improvements after a few treatments. The higher concentration of PRF growth factors can offer more prolonged and effective outcomes compared to traditional PRP.
PRF hair restoration is considered safe as it uses the patient’s blood without additives, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions, infections, or complications. However, further research is required to determine long-term success rates and efficacy.
The cost of PRF hair restoration typically ranges between $600 and $900 per treatment, depending on factors such as location, facility, and the healthcare provider’s expertise. Most insurance plans do not cover the expenses related to PRF treatment.
