Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a concentration of growth factors and cells collected from your own blood. It is a natural regenerative strategy that uses a standard blood draw, spun at high speeds in a Bio-PRF machine to create concentrated and natural growth factors. This technology is harnessed for this Hair Regeneration treatment to repair hair follicles, reverse hair loss, and encourage new and healthy hair growth.

PRF treatments use extracts of your own blood to help promote the production of cells to help tackle hair loss and other hair loss-related conditions. As it uses your own blood, there are very high success rates. PRF contains greater concentrations of growth factors than PRP, and also contains stem cells, white blood cells (leucocytes) and fibrin – which PRP does not have.

The stem cells in the PRF are ‘undifferentiated’ cells that literally morph into the cells needed to repair the hair follicles, so they can start to produce thick and healthy hair again.

Furthermore, the fibrin in PRF acts as a scaffolding to keep the growth factors and stem cells in the area of the scalp being treated, so they do not diffuse away from where they needed. This allows for release of more growth factors, over a longer period of time.

PRF therapy has been clinically proven to be effective in reversing both male and female pattern hair loss and baldness (androgenic alopecia). PRF can also treat thinning hair resulting from iron deficiency, metabolic causes, telogen effluvium and medication. PRF treatments can also restore hair growth of the beard or eyebrows in some patients.

100% natural, minimally invasive PRF hair loss treatment is also ideal for people whose hair is thinning but who can’t or don’t want to take hair loss medication due to the risk of side effects. Just like PRP, the PRF is extracted from the patient’s own blood – making the treatment extremely safe, with no risk of allergic reaction and very little risk of infection or complication.

Response to PRF treatment will vary from person to person, depending upon the cause and the degree of hair loss. But the sooner PRF is started after hair loss begins, the better the results.

For the typical hair loss patient, 4 PRF treatments spaced about a month apart are usually recommended. This is then generally followed by quarterly treatments to maintain the results for the first year. After a year, the PRF treatment frequency can be reduced, based on the specific hair regrowth of the patient.

PRF hair loss treatments are far less painful than hair replacement surgery. The treatment at the Dr Sebagh clinic is virtually painless, as the doctors blend PRF with a local anaesthetic for rapid pain relief. While patients may experience some soreness after the procedure, this doesn’t last long – there is no real ‘downtime’ after the procedure.

Amazing hair regrowth results are achieved with PRF, and patients universally agree that any minor discomfort is worth it.

As it is 100% natural, there are not the risks of hair restoration surgery, and there is no long recovery period and zero downtime.

Platelet Rich Fibrin is prepared from the patients own blood, so there is no risk of allergies.

A small amount of redness, swelling or bruising can occur in the treatment area when the PRF is injected, however this will subside in a few days
