PRF Hair Loss Treatment
Rejuvenate Your Hair With PRF
What is PRF Hair Loss Treatment?
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) treatment is a second-generation plasma therapy, that uses the body’s natural healing properties to promote hair growth in an innovative and non-surgical way.
PRF hair loss treatment is ideally recommended for those who are suffering hair loss and thinning who seek a natural, non-surgical option to stimulate hair growth. It is also safe and effective to use alongside other hair restoration methods, such as before and after hair transplant surgery and medicinal interventions.
PRF contains a higher concentration of growth factors than PRP (Plalelet-Rich Plasma). Unlike PRP, PRF does not involve the use of anticoagulants, allowing for a slower release and enhanced stimulation of hair follicles for hair loss treatment. Although PRP is an effective method of treating hair loss, PRF is considered a more advanced option as the concentration of platelets and white blood cells is higher than traditional PRP treatments. PRF acts as a fibrin matrix that has a more sustained release of growth factors, which allows for an enhanced healing environment. This promotes an ideal environment for hair follicle health and stimulating hair growth.

How Does PRF Treatment Work?
PRF treatment begins with a simple blood draw from the patient. The blood is then placed in a centrifuge, which separates the red blood cells from the plasma. This process concentrates the plasma with fibrin, platelets and growth-factors (essential components that play a significant role in wound healing and tissue regeneration). The resulting PRF solution is then carefully re-injected and micro-needled into the areas of the scalp affected by hair loss.
Once administered, the PRF releases growth factors that help to repair and regenerate the hair follicles and surrounding tissue. The fibrin matrix in PRF acts as a scaffold, allowing for a sustained release of these growth factors and keeping the platelets active for longer. This extended-release period means that PRF can offer effective results in treating hair loss by creating an optimal environment for new hair growth over a greater period of time; regenerating damaged hair follicles and stimulating blood flow.
Does PRF Work for Hair Loss?
Research and clinical studies suggest that PRF can be highly effective in treating various forms of hair loss. By rejuvenating hair follicles, increasing blood supply, and promoting cellular regeneration, PRF creates a supportive environment for hair growth. PRF is an effective and safe hair loss treatment method for various types of hair loss including androgenetic alopecia (genetic hair loss), telogen effluvium (diffuse hair thinning), alopecia areata (patchy hair loss), as well as male pattern baldness and female pattern baldness. Most patients experience a noticeable improvement in hair quality, density, thickness, and overall scalp and hair health after a series of PRF treatments.
While individual results may vary, PRF is a natural, effective, non-surgical option for those looking for a hair loss treatment without the need for more invasive or procedures. At BioCell Cosmetic Clinic, we offer free consultations to assess your specific condition to determine if PRF is the right treatment for you.
Benefits of PRF for Hair Loss
PRF treatment offers several key benefits for those experiencing hair loss:
- Natural and Non-Surgical
PRF is a safe and effective treatment to address hair loss concerns using your body’s own healing components. This method of hair loss treatment is natural and non-surgical, reducing the risk of adverse side effects and potential complications. It’s a non-invasive alternative to hair transplants. - Long-Term Result
PRF provides a sustained release of growth factors to create the ideal environment for long-lasting results. The fibrin matrix of PRF allows for continuing improvement in hair thickness and strength, enabling the hair to withstand various types of factors that may impact hair density. - Enhanced Growth Factors
PRF has high concentration of growth factors, platelets and white blood cells contained in a fibrin matrix that allows the PRF treatment to have a sustained release of these growth factors, to promote an ideal environment for hair follicle health and stimulating hair growth. - Quick and Convenient
Each PRF session typically takes less than half an hour, with minimal downtime, allowing you to return to your daily routine almost immediately. Most patients report that it is almost unnoticeable that the treatment has been performed, so it is easy and convenient to incorporate it into your day. - Effective and Versatile
PRF can be used as a standalone treatment for hair loss or in combination with other hair restoration treatments, such as hair transplants or medicinal interventions, to enhance results. It can be suitable to treat a variety of hair loss causes including androgenetic alopecia (genetic hair loss), telogen effluvium (diffuse hair thinning), alopecia areata (patchy hair loss), as well as male pattern baldness and female pattern baldness.
What Types of Hair Loss Can PRF Treat?
PRF is effective for treating a range of hair loss conditions, including:
Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgenetic Alopecia is commonly known as genetic hair loss, male pattern baldness or female pattern baldness. While PRF does not address the genetic components that cause Androgenetic Alopecia, it can help to stimulate growth in thinning areas and reduce the rate of hair loss by making the existing hair stronger and healthier.
Telogen Effluvium
Telogen Effluvium is a type of diffuse hair thinning, with hair loss and hair shedding that may be due to stress, hormonal changes, or other factors. PRF can help restore hair density and slow down shedding associated with telogen effluvium, improving the quality and health of the hair.
Alopecia Areata
PRF is beneficial for some cases of alopecia areata, an autoimmune disorder that causes patchy hair loss, and may be used alongside traditional medicinal interventions. PRF may be useful for regrowing hair in these patches or preventing further outbreaks.
Hair Thinning
PRF can enhance hair thickness, density, health and quality for patients that are noticing early signs of thinning hair or hair shedding, by stimulating hair regrowth and reducing hair loss.
