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 overall scalp vitality. No additives. No gels.
PRF is a 100% autologous concentrate containing platelets within a fibrin scaffold. It is created with a gentle spin protocol that avoids anticoagulants and additives. The prepared material is used locally on the scalp to encourage a healthy follicular environment.
Who explores PRF for hair?
Men and women with early‑to‑moderate thinning (e.g., hairline/temples, crown)
Postpartum or stress‑related shedding support
Patients seeking a natural, additive‑free option alongside lifestyle strategies
Research on PRF for Hair
Studies on autologous platelet concentrates suggest improvements in hair density and shaft thickness, alongside healthier scalp conditions. PRF’s fibrin scaffold may offer a slower, sustained release of growth factors compared with PRP.
Hair Density
Increases in terminal hair counts and global density scores have been observed over a series of sessions.
Shaft Thickness
Trichoscopy shows thicker hair shafts and reduced miniaturization in treated regions.
Anagen/Telogen Ratio
Shift toward a higher anagen (growth) phase proportion reported in several cohorts.
Scalp Quality
Reduced shedding, improved comfort, and better sebum balance noted by participants.
Edges & Crown
Visible thickening along the frontal hairline/temples and crown in early‑to‑moderate thinning.
Durability
Maintenance sessions help sustain gains over time, with schedules tailored to response.

Why patients choose PRF for hair
Preference for an autologous, additive‑free approach
Interest in supporting follicle vitality and density
Desire to complement lifestyle/nutrition strategies for overall scalp wellness
Safety & screening
Suitability is determined at consultation. PRF is not performed over active scalp infection, in uncontrolled bleeding disorders, or during pregnancy at treatment sites. Please tell your clinician about all medications, supplements, and recent procedures.
What to expect
After consultation, a small amount of blood is drawn and processed to create PRF. The PRF is applied across target scalp regions using sterile technique. Sessions typically last 45–60 minutes. Mild tenderness or sensitivity can occur for 24–72 hours.
FAQs
Is PRF the same as PRP?
PRF is prepared without anticoagulants and forms a fibrin scaffold, which may offer a slower, more gradual release compared with PRP.
When will I notice changes?
Timelines vary. Many people notice reduced shedding within weeks; density and thickness changes typically follow over subsequent sessions.
Can PRF be combined with other scalp therapies?
Often, yes. Your plan can include pairing strategies and home care that align with your hair goals.
