Quick Overview

PRF hair restoration is a non-surgical treatment that uses your own blood to isolate platelet-rich fibrin. This natural solution is rich in white blood cells, stem cells, and growth factors that stimulate hair regrowth.

It is ideal for both men and women with androgenetic alopecia, female pattern hair loss, or general thinning. PRF injections help reactivate dormant hair follicles, improve blood flow, and increase hair shaft thickness with minimal downtime.

What Is PRF Hair Restoration?

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a regenerative treatment that uses your own blood to support natural hair regrowth.

After a simple blood draw, the sample is spun in a centrifuge to create a rich concentrate of platelets, white blood cells, fibrin, growth factors, and circulating stem cells.

This injectable solution is then applied to areas of hair thinning. PRF stimulates cell growth, improves blood flow, and reactivates dormant hair follicles. The result is a healthier environment for hair growth that supports thicker, stronger hair over time.

PRF vs PRP for Hair Loss

Both PRF and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) are derived from your blood and used in hair treatments.

However, PRF offers several advantages:

No anticoagulants or additives
Higher concentration of white blood cells and stem cells
Slower release of natural growth factors
Fibrin matrix that supports cell growth and tissue regeneration

Because of these benefits, PRF is considered a more advanced option for stimulating natural hair regrowth and improving overall hair health.

What Can Microneedling Treat?

PRF injections for hair loss can improve a variety of conditions, including:

Androgenetic alopecia (also known as male or female pattern baldness)
Early-stage thinning
Hair density loss following hair transplant surgery

Androgenetic alopecia is the most common cause of hair loss in both men and women. It is a hereditary condition that leads to gradual thinning. In men, it often starts at the temples or crown. In women, it usually appears as a widening part or overall thinning across the scalp. PRF can help slow this progression, improve hair thickness, and reactivate dormant follicles in affected areas.

PRF is also commonly recommended before or after hair transplant surgery. It supports scalp health, promotes new blood vessel formation, and encourages tissue healing, creating a stronger foundation for transplanted follicles.

We welcome patients who have had transplants performed outside our practice and seek supportive PRF care.

Because PRF injections target the scalp at multiple depths, some patients may find the procedure uncomfortable. To make the experience more relaxing, Dr. Boyse offers the option of light sedation during treatment.

What Are Exosome Injections?

Exosomes are tiny messenger vesicles released by cells. They contain growth hormones, proteins, and genetic material that support cell communication and regeneration.

In hair restoration, exosomes derived from stem cells or dermal papilla cells may:

Stimulate hair follicle stem cells
Promote blood flow and angiogenesis
Influence the hair cycle to promote regrowth

While not all patients require exosome therapy, it may be added to your treatment plan based on your hair loss condition, goals, and medical history.

Exosomes are often used in clinics that do not have access to PRF processing equipment. Although they may be less effective overall, exosome injections are typically more comfortable for patients and can still support healthier hair growth.

At AZ Max Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, our expertise in sedation, grafting, and surgical planning allows us to select the most effective treatment approach for your individual needs.

What Is Stem Cell Therapy?

What Is BMAC?

BMAC is a concentrated blend of stem cells and growth factors collected from your own bone marrow. These powerful cells help reactivate dormant hair follicles, improve blood supply, and enhance the tissue environment needed for natural hair regrowth.

This treatment uses an autologous source, meaning the stem cells come directly from you rather than a donor. This significantly reduces the risk of complications or immune reaction.

The entire process is completed in a single visit. Under light anesthesia, the bone marrow is gently harvested, processed, and injected into areas of thinning or hair loss—all in the same appointment.

Stem cell therapy is one of the most advanced regenerative options available for hair restoration. Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) is considered the gold standard in stem cell treatment. It uses your own stem cells to stimulate hair regrowth, support follicle repair, and improve scalp health.

The benefits of stem cell therapy include:

A high concentration of regenerative cells and growth factors
A reduced risk of complications, since the cells come from your own body
A single-visit treatment, with harvesting and injection performed under light sedation
The ability to combine with other therapies like PRF or exosomes for enhanced results

This approach offers a powerful regenerative option for patients seeking long-term improvement in hair density, follicle health, and overall scalp condition.

Hair Transplant Support with PRF, Exosomes, and Stem Cells

Whether performed locally or internationally, hair transplant surgery can benefit greatly from regenerative support. Treatments such as PRF, exosomes, or stem cell therapy may be used before and after surgery to help optimize outcomes.

Many transplant surgeons recommend regenerative therapy before surgery to rebuild the scalp’s blood supply and create a healthier foundation for grafting. After the procedure, post-transplant treatment can support healing, improve graft survival, and encourage long-term hair density.

Dr. Brent Boyse offers supportive care for patients undergoing hair transplant surgery, whether they plan to be treated locally or abroad. These treatments can be timed around your procedure to help you achieve the strongest possible results.

Tailored Treatment Plans

Each plan is customized based on your diagnosis, treatment goals, personal preferences, and budget. Some patients may benefit from a single approach, while others may combine PRF, exosomes, and stem cell therapy for a more comprehensive strategy. The treatment plan can be as proactive or conservative as you prefer.

What to Expect During Treatment

Your treatment begins with a consultation to assess the type and extent of hair loss. If PRF is appropriate, the procedure will involve:

A simple blood draw, similar to a routine lab test.
Centrifugation to separate the blood into a rich PRF matrix.
Targeted injections into thinning or affected areas of the scalp.

The procedure is performed in-office and typically takes under one hour. Because the injections are delivered into multiple layers of the scalp, some patients may find the treatment uncomfortable. To improve comfort, light sedation can be used for those who prefer a more relaxed experience.

Recovery and Results

There is little to no downtime after PRF hair restoration. You may resume normal activities the same day, though we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours.

Mild bruising, redness, or swelling can occur but usually resolves within a few days.

To support the healing process, we advise:

Staying hydrated
Avoiding sun exposure to the scalp
Refraining from alcohol or blood-thinning medications unless approved by your doctor

Visible improvements may take several weeks as your body responds to the release of growth factors and the activation of hair follicles. Most patients benefit from a series of 2 to 3 treatments, followed by an annual maintenance treatment to support long-term hair thickness and density.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between PRF and PRP for hair loss?

PRF contains a higher concentration of healing components and releases growth factors more slowly than PRP. PRF results in longer-lasting effects and improved tissue regeneration.

Does PRF actually work for hair regrowth?

Yes. Clinical studies and real-world results show that PRF promotes stronger hair growth, increases density, and supports healthier hair over time. Early treatment is key. PRF will not regrow hair in areas that have been bald for a long period of time. The earlier it is treated the better the results will be.

Is PRF safe for all hair loss types?

PRF is most effective for hereditary conditions like androgenetic alopecia. It may be less beneficial for scarring alopecia or cases where hair follicles are absent.

How many PRF treatments for hair?

Most patients benefit from 2 to 3 sessions spaced several weeks apart, followed by annual maintenance to preserve results.

Can PRF be combined with other treatments?

Yes. In some cases, PRF may be paired with exosome therapy, stem cell therapy, or microneedling for enhanced results. Support with oral medications like minoxidil and finasteride can be key in some cases.

What are the risks or side effects?

Since PRF uses your own blood, there is minimal risk of infection or allergic reaction. Some patients experience mild swelling or bruising at the injection sites.

Is PRF better than minoxidil?

PRF works differently from minoxidil. Minoxidil is a topical medication that helps slow hair loss and may stimulate regrowth in some patients. PRF targets the scalp with natural growth factors to support hair regrowth and follicle health. Many patients see stronger, more lasting results with PRF, especially in thinning areas. However, PRF in conjunction with minoxidil and finasteride can be very effective.
