Thinning hair or early hair loss can be distressing, but you’re not alone. Many individuals experience hair challenges as they age, encounter hormonal changes, or navigate genetic predispositions. Fortunately, innovative treatments are transforming the way we approach hair restoration—one of the most promising being PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) therapy. At ACPS MedSpa in Houston, Texas, PRF is becoming a leading solution for those seeking a natural, effective way to encourage thicker, healthier hair growth.
What is PRF and How Does It Work?
PRF stands for Platelet-Rich Fibrin, a natural substance derived from your own blood. Similar to PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), PRF contains growth factors and essential proteins known to aid in healing and regeneration. However, PRF is considered a more advanced formulation because it uses a slower spin process and doesn’t involve anticoagulants, resulting in a richer concentration of growth factors. This makes PRF especially effective for:
- Stimulating hair follicles: PRF’s growth factors help awaken dormant or slow-producing hair follicles.
- Increasing blood flow to the scalp: Enhanced circulation delivers vital nutrients to the hair follicles, supporting stronger hair strands.
- Promoting thicker, fuller hair: Over time, PRF can help restore volume and density to thinning areas.
The PRF Hair Restoration Procedure
-
- Consultation and Assessment:
At ACPS MedSpa, we start with a thorough consultation to evaluate your hair health, discuss goals, and determine if PRF is right for you. - Simple Blood Draw:
A small sample of your blood is drawn and placed in a specialized centrifuge that separates the platelet-rich fibrin from other components.
- Consultation and Assessment:
- Application to the Scalp:
Once prepared, the PRF is carefully injected into targeted areas of the scalp. The growth factors in PRF get to work immediately, stimulating the hair follicles and supporting natural hair growth from within.
- Minimal Downtime:
PRF therapy is minimally invasive. You can typically return to normal activities soon after your treatment, making it convenient for busy individuals.
Why Choose PRF for Hair Restoration?
- Natural and Autologous: PRF uses your own blood, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or negative side effects.
- Long-Term Benefits: With a series of treatments, many patients experience gradually improving results, seeing thicker, fuller hair over time.
- Versatility and Complementary Treatments: PRF can be combined with other hair restoration methods to optimize results. Our medspa team can guide you through every option.
- Non-Surgical Solution: If you’re not ready for a hair transplant or want to try a less invasive method first, PRF is a comfortable and effective choice.
Who is a Good Candidate?
PRF therapy can benefit a wide range of individuals experiencing mild to moderate hair thinning. Whether you’re in the early stages of hair loss, looking to enhance existing hair restoration treatments, or seeking a natural approach to boosting hair density, PRF may be an excellent option.
Our experts at ACPS MedSpa will evaluate your medical history, scalp condition, and specific goals to ensure PRF aligns with your needs.
What to Expect After Treatment
Most patients resume their daily activities immediately after PRF injections. While you won’t see overnight results (hair growth is a gradual process), you can anticipate incremental improvements over the course of several months. With regular sessions as recommended by our providers, you’ll likely notice:
- Reduced hair shedding
- Improved hair thickness and fullness
- Enhanced overall scalp health
