What is PRF for hair?
PRF is the latest evolution of PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) - but with key advantages that make it particularly effective for hair restoration. PRF is 100% natural and additive-free, containing a higher concentration of platelets, white blood cells, and a fibrin matrix that allows for slow, sustained release of growth factors over time.
A 2024 systematic review published in the medical journal Cureus found that PRF demonstrates significant improvements in hair density and growth. The study analyzed multiple clinical trials and reported that 73% of patients showed clinically noticeable improvements in hair growth after PRF treatment. Researchers attributed these results to PRF's ability to release key growth factors, including PDGF, TGF-β, and VEGF, that stimulate follicular activity and enhance blood flow to the scalp.
Why choose PRF over PRP for hair loss?
Both PRP and PRF come from your own blood and work to stimulate hair growth. The difference lies in how they're processed and what they deliver to your scalp:
- PRP delivers a concentrated burst of growth factors immediately
- PRF releases those same growth factors gradually over days or weeks, thanks to its natural fibrin matrix
The 2024 systematic review found that PRF may offer a longer-term release of growth factors compared to PRP, which could translate to more sustained results. For hair follicles - which need consistent stimulation to shift from dormant to active growth phases - this prolonged exposure means better, longer-lasting outcomes.
The researchers noted that PRF's unique composition "not only prolongs the bioavailability of these crucial proteins but also ensures a sustained therapeutic effect."

What to expect?
We draw a small amount of your blood, spin it in a centrifuge to isolate the PRF, and carefully inject it into the areas of your scalp where you're experiencing thinning. The entire process typically takes about 45 minutes.
You can expect to see initial improvements within 1-4 months, with continued progress over the following months as your body's natural regeneration takes effect. We recommend a series of 3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results, followed by maintenance sessions 1-2 times per year.
