  • Think of Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) as the next generation of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). PRF takes the benefits of PRP and enhances them, delivering even more powerful results for hair restoration. While PRP contains platelets that help heal and regenerate, PRF goes a step further by including not just platelets, but also fibrin, white blood cells, and stem cells — key ingredients that PRP lacks. This combination supercharges the treatment, thanks to advanced blood collection and processing methods.

    The fibrin in PRF acts like a slow-release mechanism, steadily delivering growth factors to the scalp over time. This creates an ideal environment for tissue repair and hair regrowth. With the added bonus of stem cells and white blood cells, PRF works even harder to boost hair density, thickness, and extend the hair growth cycle.

    During your PRF treatment, a small amount of your blood is drawn to keep things 100% natural and safe. The blood is then carefully processed to create a concentrated mix of platelets, fibrin, white blood cells, and stem cells — all blended into a powerful formula designed to rejuvenate your scalp and support thicker, healthier hair growth.

    • Personalised Consultation: Your journey starts with a one-on-one consultation, where we tailor the treatment to suit your specific hair restoration goals, ensuring a bespoke approach just for you.

    • Gentle Blood Collection: A small, virtually painless blood draw is all it takes to prepare your customized PRF solution, using your body’s natural resources for a completely safe and effective treatment.

    • PRF Precision Injection: Our expert practitioners carefully inject the concentrated PRF into targeted areas of your scalp, delivering powerful growth factors directly to your hair follicles for maximum rejuvenation.

    • Microneedling Enhancement: To elevate the results even further, we pair the PRF with microneedling, stimulating your scalp and enhancing the absorption of the growth factors, giving you the best possible outcome.

  • PRF is ideal for individuals who:

    • Are seeking to regrow hair and reduce hair loss naturally

    • Desire long-lasting, thicker hair growth

    • Want to prepare their scalp for an upcoming hair transplant

    • Wish to nourish and support their scalp post-hair transplant for optimal results

    This advanced treatment is perfect for both men and women looking to revitalize their hair and scalp health.

  • This varies depending on the severity of hair loss and your individual goals. For an intense course of treatment, this may be 3-4 weeks. For maintenance, we recommend up to 6 months.

  • Pre and post-care instructions for PRF treatment can help optimize your treatment experience and promote proper healing.

    Pre-care:

    • Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements: Some medications and supplements, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and fish oil, can increase the risk of bruising and bleeding.

    • Avoid alcohol and caffeine: Minimise alcohol and caffeine consumption in the days leading up to your treatment to help reduce the risk of bruising.

    Post-care:

    • Avoid Touching: Refrain from touching the treated area for at least 4 hours to minimize infection risks.
    • Activities to Avoid: For the next 24 hours, avoid activities that induce sweating such as swimming, strenuous exercise, sauna, and jacuzzi.
    • Washing/Showering: Wait at least 12 hours before washing or showering your scalp.
    • Pressure and Rubbing: Do not apply pressure or rub the treated area excessively.
    • Ice Application: While ice can reduce swelling, refrain from applying it directly to the injected area unless necessary.
    • Medication: Avoid aspirin, Advil, ibuprofen, Voltaren, and other anti-inflammatory medications for 3 days following your procedure, ideally 7 days if possible. Use paracetamol for any discomfort.

  • • Expected Reactions: Mild swelling, itching, and tingling sensations are normal and typically subside within 24-48 hours.
    • Post-Treatment Symptoms: Bruising, redness, and soreness may occur for 2-5 days. Use paracetamol for any discomfort.
    • Blood Draw Site: You may bruise at the blood draw site.
    • These are normal treatment consequences. You can resume most of your day to day activities immediately after treatment.
