PRF FOR HAIR GROWTH.
Platelet-Rich-Fibrin (PRF) hair restoration is a new, non-surgical treatment that uses cell growth factors to regenerate and restore the inactive hair follicle through wound-healing technology. These specific growth factors are essential in tissue regeneration and healing. You will see a decrease in new hair loss, shedding or thinning almost immediately. The new hair growth usually becomes visible within two to three months after PRF treatment.
How do I prepare for my appointment?
Drink plenty of fluids before your appointment. Do not color or chemically treat your hair in the week before your appointment. On the day of you appointment, wash your hair with a gentle shampoo, then towel dry. Do not apply any hair products. Your treatment needs to be performed on clean, dry hair.
What happens at my appointment?
During your prp hair restoration appointment, the area to be treated is marked. Then, numbing cream is applied. Following which your blood is collected. That blood is then separated to the red blood component which is discarded. This leaves the plasma component concentrated with platelets. This PRP is then injected across the affected area with tiny needles. After which red LED light treatment is applied to the scalp to further increase blood supply to the scalp.
What are the side-effects?
There are minimal side effects associated with prp hair restoration. The scalp may be red and feel tight from the volume of PRP injection. Other injection related side effects such as infection are mitigated with an aseptic technique.
