If you shudder at the thought of leaving the house without a hat or go out of your way to style your hair in a way that conceals thinning areas, you know how much hair loss can impact your self-confidence.
But you don’t have to let thinning hair define you.
Thanks to innovative treatments like platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) hair restoration, you can take steps to reclaim your confidence and restore your hair's health—freeing yourself from the constraints of baseball caps and beanies.
Here, we address some frequently asked questions about PRF hair restoration, and how to know if it’s the right solution for you!
What Is PRF Hair Restoration?
To understand the power of PRF hair restoration, it helps to know what PRF is and how it compares to platelet-rich plasma (PRP), a treatment you may already be familiar with. Both PRF and PRP are derived from a patient's blood, but the difference lies in how they are prepared.
PRP is created by spinning blood in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets, which are rich in growth factors. PRF, however, uses a slower centrifugal process that preserves more stem cells and platelets, making it a more potent and effective treatment. This advanced technique allows PRF to deliver even better results, especially in hair restoration.
How Does PRF Work for Hair Restoration?
PRF is injected directly into the scalp, targeting the hair follicles with a rich supply of growth factors and stem cells. This promotes collagen production, tissue regeneration, and, most importantly, healthy hair growth. Since PRF is made from your own blood, it is easily absorbed by the body and carries no risk of rejection.
While results aren’t instantaneous, most patients notice visible improvements in hair density and quality within two to three months. This gradual regeneration process ensures a natural and long-lasting enhancement.
Why Consider PRF for Hair Restoration?
Hair loss affects both men and women, albeit in different ways. Men may experience complete baldness due to the loss of entire hair follicles, while women often contend with thinning, where hair follicles shrink but do not completely disappear.
These changes, whether caused by genetics or aging, can be distressing. While medications and other hair restoration methods exist, they often yield inconsistent results and rely on synthetic solutions. PRF offers a more natural, reliable alternative that taps into your body’s own resources to restore vitality to your hair.
Am I A Candidate for PRF Hair Restoration?
PRF is most effective in the early stages of hair loss when follicles are just beginning to degrade. That said, almost anyone experiencing hair thinning or loss can benefit from this treatment. There are no restrictions based on hair type, skin type, or blood type, making it an inclusive solution.
During your consultation at Bespoke Rx, a medical professional will evaluate your hair loss, review your medical history, and discuss your goals. This ensures that your treatment plan is tailored specifically to your needs, reflecting Bespoke Rx’s commitment to personalized care.
What Should I Expect Before, During, and After Treatment?
One of the greatest advantages of PRF hair restoration is its simplicity and minimal invasiveness.
- Before Treatment: There’s no extensive preparation required, though adjustments to habits like smoking or excessive alcohol consumption may be recommended to optimize results.
- During Treatment: A quick blood draw is performed, after which the blood is processed to create the PRF solution. The solution is then carefully injected into targeted areas of your scalp.
- After Treatment: Recovery is minimal, with most patients experiencing only mild discomfort at the injection sites, which typically resolves within a week.
Results begin to appear after a few months, and most patients benefit from a series of treatments for optimal outcomes.
