PRFM Advanced PRP Treatment for Hair Loss

Hair loss occurs when hair follicles become dormant or weakened due to various factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, or environmental stressors. PRFM therapy works by delivering a concentrated dose of platelets and growth factors to the scalp, reactivating these dormant follicles and promoting a healthier hair growth cycle. The extended release of growth factors in PRFM increases blood supply to the hair follicles, ensuring they receive the necessary nutrients and oxygen to thrive. This therapy also extends the hair growth cycle, allowing hair to grow for longer periods before shedding naturally. Additionally, PRFM strengthens existing hair strands, making them thicker and more resilient, while stimulating inactive follicles to produce new hair growth. By reducing inflammation, PRFM further enhances the scalp’s overall health, creating an optimal environment for hair restoration.

PRFM therapy is ideal for individuals experiencing early stages of hair thinning or mild to moderate hair loss, including those with androgenic alopecia, commonly known as male and female pattern baldness. It is also beneficial for those experiencing hair shedding due to stress, hormonal fluctuations, or other environmental factors. Since PRFM is a natural, drug-free approach, it is an excellent option for patients looking for a non-surgical solution to hair restoration. However, while PRFM can be highly effective, results may vary from person to person. Patients with more advanced hair loss or complete baldness may require alternative or combination therapies for optimal results.

The PRFM treatment process begins with an in-depth consultation where our dermatology specialists evaluate your hair loss, discuss your goals, and determine if PRFM is the right solution for you. Once approved for treatment, a small blood sample is drawn and processed to extract the PRFM, ensuring that the platelets are concentrated and stabilized for maximum effectiveness. The prepared PRFM is then injected into targeted areas of the scalp using fine needles, strategically placing the growth factors where they can stimulate dormant hair follicles. After the procedure, patients can typically resume their normal activities the same day with minimal downtime. Some mild swelling or redness may be experienced but usually resolves quickly. For optimal results, multiple treatment sessions are recommended, typically spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, with noticeable hair regrowth beginning within a few months.

PRFM therapy is considered a safe and minimally invasive procedure since it utilizes the patient’s own blood components. However, as with any treatment, there are potential risks and side effects to be aware of. Some patients may experience mild discomfort, redness, or swelling at the injection sites, which typically resolves within a few days. In rare cases, minor bruising or tenderness may occur. Because PRFM is derived from the patient’s own blood, the risk of allergic reactions or adverse immune responses is extremely low. To ensure optimal safety and effectiveness, PRFM should be administered by a trained medical professional in a controlled clinical setting.

Prior to treatment all potential risks and side effects will be discussed with you by your medical provider and cosmetic coordinator.

Alternative cosmetic treatments for scalp stimulation include topical products, Kerlase™, and microneedling. If you are experiencing hair loss or thinning of the hair, there may be an underlying medical condition present, therefore it is important to consult with one of our medical providers prior to choosing which treatment course is the best for your individual needs.

PRFM therapy can be combined with other hair restoration treatments to enhance results and promote even greater hair regrowth. Many patients choose to pair PRFM with topical or oral medications such as minoxidil or finasteride to further support hair follicle health and prolong the hair growth cycle. Additionally, laser therapy or microneedling can be used alongside PRFM to improve scalp circulation and increase the absorption of growth factors. Our medical providers at Advanced Dermatology will customize a treatment plan based on your unique needs to help you achieve optimal hair restoration outcomes.
