Hair Restoration

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) hair restoration is a cutting-edge, natural treatment that uses your body’s own platelets and growth factors to stimulate hair regrowth. The process begins with a simple blood draw where we get a blood sample from your arm. We then place the blood sample in a centrifuge to separate the platelets and fibrin. These platelets are rich in proteins and vital growth factors that rejuvenate dormant or weakened hair follicles.

Once we prepare the PRF, your Dermatology & Skin Health provider will carefully inject the serum directly into the areas of the scalp experiencing hair thinning or genetic hair loss. PRF boosts collagen production, repairs damaged hair follicles, and encourages healthier, thicker hair over time.

With no synthetic chemicals or foreign substances involved, getting PRF hair restoration offers a safe, minimally invasive solution for those seeking to naturally restore their hair. The results are gradual and cumulative, with noticeable improvements in hair density, thickness, and overall scalp health after a full course of treatment.

If you’re considering hair restoration, it’s essential to learn all you can about the benefits and limitations of each option to determine the best fit for your needs. PRF stands out as a natural treatment that harnesses your body’s regenerative abilities to stimulate hair growth. It offers an innovative approach compared to traditional hair restoration methods.

Benefits of PRF:

• Nonsurgical
• Minimally invasive
• Natural and chemical free
• Low risk of complications
• Natural regrowth over time
• Complementary to other treatments

While PRF is highly effective for early-stage hair loss and thinning, hair transplants may be necessary for patients with more advanced hair loss or areas of complete baldness. With the guidance of our providers, you can choose the best treatment plan that helps you achieve your hair restoration goals.

When you come in for your consultation for our hair restoration services, your provider will determine if PRF is the best treatment for you. They will have an open conversation with you about the severity of your hair loss, your medical history, and expectations for treatment. Based on this and an in-depth scalp assessment, your Dermatology & Skin Health team will create a comprehensive hair restoration plan that meets your individual needs.

PRF is particularly effective for:

• Androgenetic alopecia (genetic hair loss): PRF activates dormant hair follicles, making it ideal for treating thinning hair and areas where the hairline is receding. It’s most effective in the early stages when hair follicles are still active.
• General hair thinning: For people living with overall hair thinning without complete baldness, PRF can help restore density and improve hair quality.
• Complementary care: PRF is an excellent option for enhancing results when combined with other treatments, such as medications or steroid injections for specific conditions.

At Dermatology & Skin Health, we’re here to guide you every step of the way by providing personalized care and innovative hair restoration services. We want to help you regain fuller, healthier hair that builds your confidence. No matter your reason for seeking hair restoration treatments, our team is here and ready to help you achieve your goals.

During your consultation, we will assess your scalp and determine if hair restoration treatments can help you. Once you are deemed a viable candidate for growth factors for hair thinning, we will draw a small amount of blood from your body for the treatment. From there, platelets are separated from the rest of the blood and are strengthened using centrifugation.

Once this process is complete, the enhanced platelets are repurposed into the withdrawn blood for injection. Afterwards, when the serum is ready, we will locate the target areas and inject it. The procedure is performed in approximately 30 minutes. There is no downtime; you will be able to drive yourself home and resume normal activities immediately after treatment. Patients cannot wash their hair for 24 hours after treatment.

The amount of time it takes to see results will vary. Hair restoration typically requires a series of three initial treatments, spaced approximately 6 weeks apart. After results are obtained, follow-up treatments once or twice a year will be needed for maintenance.
