Hair Loss: Understanding the Causes
Hair loss is frustrating and can happen for many reasons. Most of our patients can attribute their hair loss to many reasons, including:
Genetics (Androgenetic Alopecia): This is the most common cause, affecting both men and women.
Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, and thyroid problems can all trigger hair loss.
Medical Conditions: Alopecia areata, scalp infections, and autoimmune diseases can cause sudden or patchy hair loss.
Medications & Lifestyle: Certain medications, nutritional deficiencies, harsh styling, and stress can contribute to hair loss.
Dr. Saxon will discuss your medical history and examine your scalp during your consultation to determine the best hair loss treatment for you.
What is Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF)?
Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a natural substance derived from your own blood that is rich in platelets, growth factors, and other bioactive proteins. PRF is created by centrifuging a sample of your blood to concentrate the platelets and then isolating the fibrin matrix. This potent combination of growth factors and proteins promotes tissue regeneration, collagen production, and angiogenesis, making it an ideal treatment for hair restoration.
Benefits of PRF for Hair Growth:
PRF injections offer several benefits for hair restoration, including:
- Stimulating hair follicle growth and proliferation.
- Improving scalp circulation and nutrient delivery to the hair follicles.
- Increasing hair thickness, density, and overall quality.
- Reducing inflammation and oxidative stress in the scalp.
- Enhancing the healing process after hair transplantation or other hair restoration procedures.
- Providing a natural and minimally invasive alternative to traditional hair loss treatments.
PRF vs. PRP for Hair Growth
Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) are both popular treatments for hair restoration, each offering unique benefits and mechanisms of action. PRF contains a higher concentration of platelets, growth factors, and bioactive proteins compared to PRP, as it includes a fibrin matrix that helps sustain the release of growth factors over a longer period. This sustained release may result in more prolonged stimulation of hair follicle growth and improved tissue regeneration. While PRP is effective for stimulating hair follicles and improving scalp health, PRF’s additional fibrin matrix may offer enhanced regenerative effects.
During the PRF procedure, a small sample of your blood is drawn and processed using a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components. The scalp is then numbed, and microneedling is performed on the scalp. This acts synergistically with the injection to stimulate hair growth. The PRF is then injected directly into the scalp at targeted areas of hair thinning or loss using a fine needle. The entire procedure is performed in-office and typically takes less than an hour to complete. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can resume normal activities immediately afterward.
