What is PRF hair loss?
The groundbreaking PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) treatment is the second generation to PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment.
PRF is very similar to PRP, but the difference is that PRF does not use anticoagulants or chemicals, is much more effective with up to 10x more platelets and releases more growth hormones over time.
This means the thick, gel-like PRF substance continues to work to stimulate the hair follicles and hair growth long after the treatment is completed. PRP releases these hormones early on, whereas PRF steadily releases them, resulting in more effective and long-lasting results.
It is a non-surgical and minimally invasive procedure that not only stimulates hair growth, but also improves hair density and strength. It has become a promising solution for individuals of any gender experiencing hair thinning or loss.
How does PRF work for hair loss?
The PRF treatment begins the same as the PRP treatment. A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient, and once collected, undergoes a specialised centrifugation process. The centrifuge separates the platelets and growth factors from other blood components, resulting in a PRF solution that is incredibly rich in platelets and bioactive proteins essential for stimulating hair growth and reducing hair fallout.
What sets PRF apart from PRP is the absence of chemicals and anticoagulants.

What are the Benefits of PRF Hair Treatment?
- Accelerating wound healing:
The blend of growth factors in PRF helps to speed up the body’s healing process. It helps to promote faster tissue repair at the treatment site and minimises the risk of infection.
- Tissue regeneration:
The platelets and fibrin in PRF stimulate cell production which aids in the regeneration of damaged tissues and supports the formation of new blood vessels.
