Hair loss can be a distressing issue for both men and women, often leaving them feeling hopeless. However, there’s good news in the world of hair loss treatment. Recent advancements in combating age-related hair loss, such as Androgenic Alopecia, commonly known as male-pattern balding and female pattern thinning, have kindled hope. Additionally, PRF “Platelet Rich Fibrin” has proven to be beneficial for specific medical conditions, like alopecia areata.

PRF “Platelet Rich Fibrin” contains more than 30 growth factors, including those that nourish scalp cells, enhance blood flow to hair follicles, and reduce scalp inflammation, ultimately promoting healthy and productive hair follicles. This revolutionary treatment utilizes the growth factors derived from your own body to rejuvenate dormant scalp tissue, resulting in a healthier scalp capable of generating thicker, new hair.

At Believe Aesthetics & Wellness, our certified specialists in PRF “Platelet Rich Fibrin” hair restoration follow Dr. Rapaport’s protocol by the National Institute of Medical Aesthetics. This treatment is a safe and effective choice for many patients dealing with hair loss. However, some exceptions apply, such as a history of shingles on the scalp, diabetes, coagulation disorders, or the use of blood thinners or immunosuppressive medications. Please note that PRF “Platelet Rich Fibrin” may not be suitable for individuals who have completely lost hair follicles in the treatment area. The best results have been observed in treating the following conditions:

• Spot Baldness (Alopecia Areata): PRP treatment has been shown to activate dormant stem cells in 60% of cases, resulting in significant hair growth. It also helps reduce hair loss, burning, and itching.
• Male Pattern Baldness: PRF “Platelet Rich Fibrin” treatment maximizes hair growth for males experiencing crown balding and receding hairlines.
• Female Pattern Baldness: For females with diffuse hair thinning, PRF “Platelet Rich Fibrin” has been effective in reducing hair thinning and promoting hair growth.

What to Expect from Your PRF “Platelet Rich Fibrin” Hair Restoration

PRF Stem Cell Hair Rejuvenation is a minimally discomforting procedure that takes 30-45 minutes, depending on the treatment area’s size. The patient’s blood is drawn and centrifuged for about 15 minutes to concentrate the platelets. As PRF “Platelet Rich Fibrin” uses the patient’s blood, adverse effects are rare. However, patients undergoing treatment for certain conditions should consult with their healthcare provider. It’s advised to avoid smoking, alcohol, and anti-inflammatory drugs like Aspirin or Ibuprofen 1-2 weeks before the procedure. After the treatment, any tenderness in the scalp typically subsides within 1-3 days.

The treatment protocol consists of four sessions, initially scheduled one month apart, with no downtime. Patients may be advised to continue or start oral and topical care. Maintenance treatments are scheduled every 3 or 6 months. It’s recommended that patients consult their primary care provider to rule out any underlying medical conditions or medication-related hair loss.
