PRF for Hair Restoration
Autologous Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is prepared from a small sample of your own blood and applied to the scalp to support hair density, thickness, and scalp vitality.
PRF is a 100% autologous concentrate containing platelets within a fibrin scaffold. It’s created with a gentle spin protocol that avoids anticoagulants and additives, and then applied to target scalp regions to help cultivate a healthier follicular environment.
Who chooses PRF for hair?
Men and women with early-to-moderate thinning (hairline, temples, crown)
Postpartum or stress-related shedding support
Those seeking a natural, additive-free regenerative option

Research on PRF for Hair
Autologous platelet concentrates are associated with improved hair density, shaft thickness, and scalp comfort. PRF’s fibrin scaffold may provide a slower, sustained release compared with PRP.
Hair Density
Increased terminal hair counts and global density across a series of sessions.
Shaft Thickness
Thicker hair shafts and reduced miniaturization on trichoscopy.
Anagen/Telogen Ratio
Shift toward a higher growth-phase proportion in treated areas.
Scalp Quality
Reduced shedding and improved comfort noted by participants.

Why Patients Choose PRF for Hair
Preference for an autologous, additive-free approach
Interest in supporting follicle vitality and density
Desire to complement nutrition and scalp-wellness strategies
Choose Your Path
Every patient’s starting point is different. You can book PRF directly, or begin with a naturopathic visit to address underlying causes and achieve the most consistent, measurable results.
Why we recommend the first option:
Working with one of our NDs before PRF helps uncover and correct internal factors that affect scalp and follicle health—such as nutrient status, thyroid balance, stress physiology, and inflammation.
Optimizing these first supports higher-quality PRF, better scalp response, and longer-lasting improvements in density and comfort.
Safety & Screening
Suitability is determined during consultation. PRF is not performed over active infection, in uncontrolled bleeding disorders, or during pregnancy at treatment sites. Please inform your clinician of all medications, supplements, and recent procedures.
What to Expect
After consultation, a small blood draw is processed to create PRF. It is applied to targeted scalp regions using sterile technique. Sessions last 45–60 minutes; mild tenderness or redness can occur for 24–72 hours.
