PRF HAIR RESTORATION
PRF hair restoration is a minimally invasive treatment that supports natural hair regrowth for men and women experiencing thinning or hair loss. At Momo Aesthetics in Santa Monica, PRF treatments use platelet-rich fibrin derived from your own blood to nourish hair follicles, improve hair density, and support healthier hair growth over time.
ABOUT PRF HAIR RESTORATION
What is PRF Hair Restoration?
PRF Hair Restoration is a non-surgical procedure that uses your body’s platelets and growth factors to help rejuvenate hair follicles and potentially stimulate new hair growth. During the procedure, a small sample of your blood is drawn, and PRF, rich in platelets, fibrin, and growth factors, is isolated. This PRF is then injected into areas of the scalp with thinning or hair loss, where it may help to repair damaged follicles and support natural hair regrowth. Individual results may vary.
How Does PRF Hair Restoration Work?
PRF therapy involves drawing a blood sample from the patient and processing it in a centrifuge to separate the platelets, fibrin, and growth factors. These components are then injected into the scalp, where they may encourage hair follicles to regenerate. The growth factors in PRF are thought to enhance blood flow to the hair follicles, potentially improving hair density and supporting natural hair regrowth over several months. Results can vary based on individual factors, including the severity of hair loss and overall health.
What to Expect Before, During, and After PRF Hair Restoration?
Before Treatment:
Your practitioner will conduct a comprehensive consultation to assess your hair loss, treatment goals, and medical history. This evaluation helps determine if PRF Hair Restoration may be suitable for you. You'll also receive guidelines on pre-treatment care, such as avoiding certain hair products and substances like tobacco and alcohol a few days before the procedure.
During Treatment:
The procedure begins with a blood draw, followed by the extraction of PRF using a centrifuge. The PRF is then injected into the scalp areas experiencing thinning hair. A local anesthetic or numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort during the injections. The entire process typically takes less than an hour.
After Treatment:
PRF Hair Restoration is a non-surgical treatment using your body’s own platelets and growth factors, resulting in little to no downtime. Most individuals can resume normal activities immediately after the procedure. Mild swelling or redness at the injection sites may occur, but these effects usually resolve within a few hours. As with any cosmetic procedure, individual experiences and results will vary.
