PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) are advanced, non-surgical treatments designed to restore and enhance hair growth by harnessing your body’s natural healing properties. Both treatments are particularly effective for addressing hair loss conditions like male pattern baldness and female pattern baldness, where thinning hair is a common concern. The process begins with a small blood draw, which is then processed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets and growth factors. PRP is rich in growth factors that stimulate hair follicles, while PRF also contains a fibrin matrix, which supports a longer, more gradual release of these healing elements.
Once the PRP or PRF solution is prepared, it’s carefully injected into thinning or weakened hair areas. These injections work to stimulate the hair follicles, improve blood flow to the scalp, and encourage the growth of stronger, healthier hair. The natural growth factors in PRP and PRF activate the body’s healing response, prompting hair follicles to re-enter the growth phase and produce thicker, fuller strands. For individuals dealing with male or female pattern baldness, these treatments can make a noticeable difference by restoring volume and texture to thinning hair over time.
Typically, a series of treatments is recommended for optimal results, with each session spaced a few weeks apart. Over time, as the treatments continue, many people see significant improvements in the density and health of their hair. PRP and PRF are natural, minimally invasive alternatives to more aggressive hair restoration methods, offering a safe and effective option for both men and women looking for a way to combat hair loss without surgery. Whether you’re dealing with the early stages of thinning or have been affected by pattern baldness for years, these treatments offer a promising solution to help restore your hair and confidence.
These treatments use growth factors from your own blood to stimulate hair follicles, which can improve hair density, slow hair loss, and boost the overall health of your scalp. Since PRP and PRF are non-surgical and minimally invasive, they require little to no downtime, making it easy to fit treatment sessions into a busy schedule.
Plus, because they leverage your body’s natural growth factors, these treatments are a gentle option, reducing the need for harsh chemicals or medications for a permanent solution.
The best candidates for PRP or PRF hair restoration are those experiencing hair thinning or early hair loss, typically those who have noticed a gradual reduction in hair density but still have some active hair follicles. It’s especially effective for those with androgenetic alopecia or pattern hair loss, which is the most common type of hair thinning. PRP and PRF are generally ideal for people looking for a natural, non-surgical approach to stimulating hair growth, who are in good health, and who do not have underlying scalp conditions or specific blood disorders.
For those unsure about their candidacy, a consultation can clarify how well PRP or PRF will work based on individual hair goals and overall health.
The first step toward PRP/PRF hair restoration is to schedule your initial consultation with Dr. Castelli in our Main Line and King of Prussia locations in Philadelphia, PA. During the consultation, Dr. Castelli and our nurses will assess your hair and scalp condition and explain how the PRP/PRF process works.
The process begins with a quick blood draw. A small amount of blood is taken, typically from your arm, and then placed in a centrifuge. While in the centrifuge, your blood spins rapidly to separate the platelets and growth factors.
Once the PRP or PRF is prepared, Dr. Castelli will numb your scalp with a topical anesthetic. Using a fine needle, the PRP or PRF will be injected directly into the areas of your scalp that require attention, promoting increased blood flow and stimulating the hair follicles for growth.
It’s important to follow Dr. Castelli’s post-treatment instructions, such as avoiding strenuous activities and hair products for a short period. You might notice some initial hair shedding in the treated areas, but this is normal and part of the healing process.
Our clinic offers the PRP or PRF injection for hair restoration at $950 for one session and $2250 for three sessions. This treatment is recommended for optimal results, and our affordable pricing allows patients to receive multiple treatments that provide the best outcome.
Many patients may require multiple sessions to see significant improvement, which can affect the total investment. It’s a good idea to consult with Dr. Castelli in Philadelphia, PA, to get a detailed quote and understand any potential financing options available to make the treatment more accessible.
