PRF and PRP hair restoration harnesses the concentrated growth factors in your own blood to reawaken dormant follicles and rebuild natural, lasting hair density — without surgery, without downtime.
Both PRF and PRP therapies draw on the regenerative power already present in your blood — concentrating the platelets and growth factors that signal your scalp to heal, rebuild, and grow. The difference lies in how those factors are delivered and how long they remain active at the treatment site.
A small amount of your blood is drawn — comparable to a routine lab test. No donor material, no synthetic compounds.
Your blood is spun in a centrifuge to isolate and concentrate the platelet-rich plasma or fibrin — the components richest in growth factors.
The concentrated serum is injected precisely into the areas of thinning or loss, targeting follicles directly at their base where growth signals matter most.
Growth factors stimulate dormant follicles back into the active growth phase, increasing circulation, thickness, and new hair production over the following months.
PRF is the evolution of PRP — processed without anticoagulants, which allows the platelets to form a fibrin matrix. This matrix acts as a natural scaffold that holds growth factors at the treatment site longer, releasing them slowly over days rather than hours.
The result is a more sustained, biologically active environment for follicle regeneration — which is why PRF has become the preferred protocol for hair restoration at Body Balance Medical.
PRP was the original platelet therapy for hair loss and remains a highly effective treatment. It concentrates growth factors from your plasma and delivers them directly to the scalp, providing an immediate boost to follicle activity and circulation.
PRP is well-studied with strong clinical evidence and may be appropriate for certain patients or as part of a combination protocol with PRF.
PRF and PRP are most effective when follicles are still present but dormant — the earlier treatment begins, the better the outcomes. Results are less predictable with complete follicle loss.
The most common form of hair loss in both men and women — genetic pattern thinning that responds well to early PRF/PRP intervention.
Overall reduction in hair density across the scalp without a defined pattern — often related to hormonal shifts, nutritional deficiencies, or stress.
Hormonal fluctuations after pregnancy frequently trigger significant shedding. PRF helps accelerate the return to normal density.
Loss caused by prolonged tension on follicles from tight hairstyles. PRF can help reactivate follicles if damage hasn't become permanent.
Certain medications including some blood thinners, antidepressants, and hormonal therapies can trigger shedding that PRF may help reverse.
PRF can be applied beyond the scalp — eyebrow and eyelash restoration are possible with targeted micro-injection technique.
Male pattern baldness affects two-thirds of men by age 35 — and the stigma around treating it has never been lower. At Body Balance Medical, we see a growing number of men who want to address thinning proactively, before significant loss has occurred.
PRF is particularly well-suited for men in the early-to-mid stages of androgenetic alopecia — when follicles are miniaturizing but still viable. The treatment is discreet, requires no recovery time, and delivers results that are entirely your own.
PRF works best when follicles are thinning but not gone. Men who start in their 30s and early 40s see the strongest outcomes.
Sessions take under an hour. Minor redness or tenderness at injection sites resolves within 24 hours. No lifestyle disruption.
PRF can be combined with topical minoxidil, low-level laser therapy, or medical hair loss protocols for enhanced results.
Body Balance Medical's private setting and appointment-only model means you'll never feel on display during your visit.
PRF and PRP work gradually — the growth cycle of hair means results build over months, not days. Here's a realistic picture of what the journey looks like.
First PRF session completed. Mild scalp tenderness and possible slight redness for 24–48 hours. Normal activity same day.
Growth factors are actively signaling follicles. Shedding may temporarily increase as older hairs are displaced by new growth cycles beginning — this is normal and expected.
New fine hairs begin emerging in treated areas. Existing hairs become thicker and stronger. Second and third sessions typically scheduled in this window.
Full density improvement from the initial series becomes apparent. Most patients see the most significant transformation in this period.
Once density is restored, periodic maintenance sessions preserve results and continue stimulating follicle health long-term.
The best time to begin hair restoration is before significant loss has occurred. Schedule a private consultation with Teresa to assess your hair health and build a plan.
