PRF Hair Restoration Process
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) therapy for hair loss is a three-step medical procedure that involves drawing your blood, processing it, and injecting/ microneedling it into your scalp. These injections stimulate and sustain natural hair growth by boosting blood flow to your hair follicle and increasing the thickness of your hair shaft.
The three-step process for PRF is as follows:
Step 1
Your blood is extracted (usually from your arm) and placed in a centrifuge (a machine that spins blood to separate blood cells and plasma of different densities).
Step 2
Your blood will be divided into three layers after around 10 minutes in the centrifuge. These layers include:
- platelet-poor plasma
- platelet-rich fibrin
- red blood cells
Step 3
The platelet-rich fibrin that is rich in growth factors will be then taken up into a syringe and injected into regions of your scalp where hair growth is needed.
