What are PRP and PRF Hair Growth Treatments?
PRP and PRF hair growth treatments are revolutionary procedures that utilize your body’s natural healing mechanisms to stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth. Both treatments involve extracting platelets from your own blood and injecting them into the scalp.
How Do PRP and PRF Work?
Platelets are a vital component of blood and are rich in growth factors and proteins that are crucial for tissue repair and regeneration. These growth factors, such as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), play a significant role in stimulating cell proliferation, collagen synthesis, and tissue regeneration. When platelets are concentrated and injected into the scalp, a procedure known as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy can have remarkable effects on hair health.
PRP therapy for hair loss involves drawing a small amount of the patient's blood, processing it to isolate the platelets, and injecting the concentrated platelet-rich plasma back into the scalp. The growth factors and proteins in the PRP help stimulate dormant hair follicles, prolong the growth phase of the hair cycle, and increase the thickness and density of hair strands. Furthermore, PRP injections also promote angiogenesis, which is the formation of new blood vessels. This increased blood flow to the scalp nourishes the hair follicles, delivering essential nutrients and oxygen for healthier hair growth.
Studies have shown that PRP therapy can be an effective treatment for various types of hair loss, including androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness) and alopecia areata. It is a safe and minimally invasive procedure that is often used in conjunction with other hair restoration techniques, such as medications like minoxidil, Keravive Hydrafacial or hair transplant surgeries for optimal results. Overall, PRP therapy offers a promising option for individuals looking to improve the thickness, density, and overall health of their hair.

What to Expect During PRP/PRF Hair Restoration Treatment
During your initial consultation, our team will assess your scalp, discuss your treatment goals, and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. The treatment itself typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes and involves the following steps:
- Blood Collection: A small amount of blood will be drawn from your arm, similar to a routine blood test.
- Platelet Separation: The blood sample will be processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from other blood components.
- Injection: The concentrated platelets will be injected into the scalp using a fine needle, targeting areas of hair loss or thinning.
- Post-treatment Care: You may experience mild redness or swelling at the injection sites, but these side effects are temporary and usually subside within a few hours.
Is PRP/PRF Hair Growth Treatment Right for You?
PRP and PRF hair growth treatments are suitable options for both men and women experiencing hair thinning or early-stage hair loss. Before undergoing these treatments, it's crucial to schedule a consultation with our healthcare professionals specializing in hair restoration. During the consultation, Dr. Castelli and our team will assess your hair loss condition, medical history and overall health to determine if PRP or PRF therapy is the right choice for you.
Individual results from PRP and PRF treatments may vary based on factors such as the severity of hair loss, underlying health conditions, and adherence to post-treatment care instructions. While some individuals may notice improvements in hair thickness and growth after just one session, others may require multiple treatment sessions spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal results. The number of sessions needed will be discussed and determined during your consultation based on your specific needs and treatment goals.
