Hair loss affects millions of men and women, often impacting confidence and self-esteem. With so many treatments on the market, it’s natural to wonder what truly works. One option we offer that has gained popularity in recent years is PRP/PRF (Platelet-Rich Plasma / Platelet-Rich Fibrin) hair treatment. But how effective is it, and who can benefit the most?
 

What Is PRP/PRF Hair Treatment?

PRP/PRF hair treatment uses your body’s own natural healing components to stimulate hair growth. The process begins by drawing a small amount of your blood and spinning it in a centrifuge to separate its key elements.

• PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is the layer of plasma concentrated with platelets and growth factors that help repair and regenerate tissues. When injected into areas of thinning hair, PRP helps awaken dormant follicles, improve scalp circulation, and promote new hair growth.

• PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is considered even richer in regenerative proteins and may contain stem cells. This advanced version of platelet therapy promotes faster healing and more robust hair growth by releasing growth factors over a longer period of time.

Together, PRP/PRF treatments deliver a natural, effective boost to your scalp’s ability to repair and regrow healthier, thicker hair.
 

The Science Behind PRP/PRF for Hair Growth

Platelets play a vital role in healing and regeneration throughout the body. When applied to the scalp, they can:

• Stimulate dormant hair follicles

• Improve blood supply to the scalp

• Strengthen existing hair shafts

• Increase hair density over time

Clinical studies show that PRP/PRF therapy can significantly improve hair thickness and density, especially for individuals in the early stages of hair loss.
 

Who Is a Good Candidate?

PRP/PRF is most effective for people experiencing:

• Early hair thinning or mild to moderate hair loss

• Androgenic alopecia (pattern baldness)

• Postpartum hair loss

• Thinning due to stress or hormonal changes

For individuals with advanced hair loss where follicles are no longer active, PRP/PRF may not be as effective.
 

What to Expect From PRP/PRF Treatments

Results don’t happen overnight. Most patients require a series of sessions, spaced about four to six weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments a few times per year. Many notice improvements in hair thickness and reduced shedding within three to six months.
 

How Effective Is PRP/PRF Overall?

While results vary, research shows that PRP/PRF can increase hair count and thickness by as much as 30-40% in some patients. Its effectiveness often depends on factors like age, genetics, overall health, and consistency of treatments. Because it uses your own blood, PRP/PRF is safe, natural, and carries little to no risk of allergic reaction.
