PRF Hair Simulation Therapy
Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) | Plastic Surgery in Rawalpindi Platelet-Rich-Fibrin (PRF) is a new hair restoration treatment that delivers more concentrated and nutrient-rich cell growth factors to revive dormant hair follicles. It is the first choice of treatment for individuals at the earlier stages of hair loss and balding. The treatment uses the patient’s own blood to generate a concentrated mixture of potent platelet and white blood cells that facilitates hair regrowth and reverses hair thinning. Who Needs/Candidates PRF therapy may be a good choice for anyone going through early and mild stages of hair loss. If you see new areas of balding and hair thinning, PRF therapy can quickly revive your hair follicles before they become permanently inactive. The treatment works best when reinvigorating and healing the dormant hair follicles and is therefore considered an excellent treatment for conditions like androgenic alopecia and traction alopecia. Other factors that make PRF therapy suitable for you include: You don’t want to undergo invasive surgery You are at risk of developing complications from general anaesthesia. Oral and topical medication for hair loss have not worked for you. You don’t want to face a long recovery period. You want to maintain the natural look of your hair. Besides these, you should ensure that your hair follicles are healthy enough to respond successfully to the treatment. It may not work as effectively for more severe cases of balding where hair follicles are damaged beyond repair. Results to Expect PRF is well-known for its ability to begin improvement as soon as the first session is complete. Once your scalp receives its first injection of platelets, the nutrients, vitamins, and platelets present will begin nourishing and reviving your hair follicles. Within just three months, you will see the new hair growth and improved density throughout the scalp. Some of the results you can expect include: More naturally placed hair growth Thicker and stronger hair Longer strands of hair after six months Natural reversal of hair loss A marked reduction in overall hair shedding The exact outcomes of your treatment will depend on your individual situation, including the health of your follicles, the number of damaged follicles, and your scalp’s response to it. Depending on the success rate, you may see prominent growth before or after the average period of 3 months. Treatment Goals The primary goal of PRF therapy is to treat early and mild stages of hair loss without directly jumping to a hair transplant. It stands out due to its ability to help struggling hair follicles naturally heal before they die and require a replacement with a hair transplant. Preparation/Pre-Op Care A healthier lifestyle and diet will help you receive the treatment more effectively and avoid complications in the future. Although PRP therapy is a non-invasive and lightweight treatment, it still requires multiple preparation steps well in advance. Ensure that you engage in the following practices before the appointment: Avoid excessive alcohol consumption and smoking for at least two weeks. Disclose to your doctor all the current medications you take. Eat a balanced diet and drink plenty of fluids to ease the blood withdrawal process Avoid taking any anti-inflammatory medication at least one week before treatment. Treatment Steps Your PRF therapy will begin with an in-depth consultation where you and your practitioner can discuss the expected outcomes. A small amount of blood will be drawn from your arm (usually 20ml), which will be used to create a more concentrated mixture of platelets, stem cells, and white blood cells. Once separated, it will be injected into the problem areas of your scalp after administering topical anaesthesia. Once the session is over, you can drive home yourself and resume all everyday activities Recovery/Post-Op Care Being a non-invasive hair restoration method, PRF therapy does not require any downtime. You are also free from taking any prescription medication or engaging in intensive aftercare. However, make sure you avoid the following for at least a few days: Using ice packs on the scalps as it can inhibit growth. Excessively touching your hair or scalp. Engaging in sports or other strenuous activities. Hair styling such as blow drying, curling, and straightening. Benefits Expected PRF therapy stands out due to its higher efficiency in delivering quicker and more visible results compared to other non-surgical alternatives. It allows patients to restore any level of stunted hair growth or hair loss without undergoing an invasive treatment. After the first session, all the dormant and weak hair follicles will be immediately revived and begin to foster new hair growth. Because it uses the body’s natural healing properties to repair the damaged follicles and create a nutrient-rich environment, the results are more natural than hair transplants.
