What is PRF Hair Restoration 

PRF is a newer, more natural version of PRP. It’s made from your own blood, spun at a lower speed so it keeps:

• Platelets

• White blood cells

• Stem cells

• A fibrin matrix that releases growth factors slowly over time

That slow release is the big upgrade.

How PRF helps with hair loss

When injected into the scalp, PRF can:

• Stimulate dormant hair follicles

• Improve blood supply to the scalp

• Reduce shedding

• Increase hair thickness and density

It works best for early to moderate thinning, not completely bald areas.

PRF vs PRP (quick comparison)

• PRF: No anticoagulants, longer-lasting growth factor release, often fewer sessions

• PRP: Uses additives, faster release, more sessions usually needed

Many clinics now prefer PRF for hair restoration because of the more sustained effect.

What the procedure is like

• Blood draw (similar to a routine lab test)

• Centrifuge processing (10–15 minutes)

• Small injections into thinning areas of the scalp

• Total time: ~45–60 minutes

• Minimal downtime (maybe mild soreness for a day)

Results & timeline

• Reduced shedding: ~4–6 weeks

• New growth/thickening: ~3–6 months

• Best results after a series of treatments (often 2–3 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart)

Safety & side effects

Since it’s your own blood, PRF is considered very safe. Possible side effects:

• Temporary swelling or tenderness

• Mild headache

• Rare bruising

Who it’s best for

• Men or women with thinning hair

• Early androgenetic alopecia

• People wanting a non-surgical, drug-free option

• Often combined with microneedling, minoxidil, or hair transplant surgery for better results
