PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) for Hair Loss
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a cutting-edge treatment in the field of regenerative medicine, offering new hope for those experiencing hair loss. This autologous therapy utilises the patient’s own blood to harvest a rich blend of growth factors and cytokines, which are then meticulously reintroduced into the scalp. PRF leverages the body’s natural healing processes to stimulate hair follicle regeneration and improve hair density, thickness, and overall health.
You may have heard of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, which emerged as a prominent treatment for hair loss in the early 2000s. Like PRF, PRP involves the use of a patient’s own blood to extract and reintroduce growth factors into the scalp, stimulating hair growth. During PRP preparation, anticoagulants are added to prevent the blood from clotting. However, it was later recognised that the natural clotting process plays a vital role in effective wound healing and tissue regeneration. This insight led to the development of Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF), which capitalises on the clotting process to enhance regenerative outcomes.
Results
Results from treatment should be visible as early as two to three months of treatment. As with all forms of clinically-proven hair loss treatment, results may vary between individuals.
