Platelet-rich Fibrin Hair Restoration in Bellevue and Kirkland

Platelet-rich Fibrin Hair Restoration in Bellevue and Kirkland, PRF in Bellevue and Kirkland

Platelet-rich fibrin, or PRF injections, are a newer hair restoration and regeneration treatment. While platelet-rich plasma, or PRP,  has succeeded in hair regeneration, PRF has a higher regenerative potential for hair loss. Due to the high stem-cell quantity found in PRF treatment, Kirkland hair restoration patients can have healthy, full, and voluminous hair through PRF injections. At PRP in Seattle, our doctors deliver the best non-surgical hair restoration treatments, and PRF injections are a top solution to begin restoring luscious, thick hair. 

Overview of PRF Injections for Hair Hair Regeneration

Non-surgical hair restoration has two treatment options: medications and injections. PRF treatment is an injectable treatment that promotes hair regrowth and restoration. Like PRP therapy, PRF injections are taken from the blood and spun through a centrifuge. However, the elements in PRF are different than those in PRP.

PRF injections are a revamped form of PRP injections. Instead of plasma, the injections isolate the fibrin in the blood. Fibrin is a protein found in the plasma. It’s an insoluble protein that responds to blood loss and is activated to clot the blood and heal wounds. This makes fibrin matchless at promoting rapid healing and cell regeneration. PRF injections also contain a high count of stem and white blood cells, which result in better healing and growth over time. These factors make PRF injections the best at healing and restoring issues all over the body. 

Benefits of PRF Injections

Many patients can benefit from PRF injections for hair loss. It can help treat male and female hair loss, hair thinning, and baldness. Other potential benefits of PRF hair loss treatment possibly include:

Differences Between PRP & PRF Hair Restoration in Bellevue & Kirkland

While both PRP and PRF injections are incredibly effective for hair restoration, PRF injections have a possibly higher probability of regenerating the hair follicles. They differ in many areas and can both benefit Bellevue hair restoration patients. Here are some of the key differences between PRP and PRF hair restoration therapy: 

PRF Hair Restoration Kirkland Treatment 

Every Kirkland PRF hair restoration patient will have a consultation with a provider at Seattle Plastic Surgery. The consultation is brief and is often combined with the treatment day. During the consultation, our providers will ensure that PRF is the best option for their hair loss and better understand the patient’s goals. Additionally, the patient’s medical history and lifestyle will help to ensure the patient is suitable for the treatment.

After the consultation, our providers will draw the patient’s blood and spin it on a centrifuge. The centrifuge separates the fibrin, white blood cells, and stem cells. Because a larger amount of elements are being isolated, the centrifuge is spun at a lower speed. This will allow the stem, fibrin, and white blood cells to remain intact as the centrifuge separates them. Once the PRF injection is spun correctly, our providers will disinfect the scalp and can apply numbing medication or perform a nerve block. The PRF treatment is injected through tiny needles that help prevent damage or discomfort to the head. The process takes around ten minutes, from the spinning to the injecting.

Will I Need More Than One Session? 

PRF Bellevue hair restoration provides a treatment plan including six treatments that are scheduled six to eight weeks apart. These six treatments promote the best benefits and results from PRF hair restoration. After this, patients can schedule a maintenance treatment yearly. However, patients do not have to use the package of six, but it is highly recommended.   

What Are The PRP Hair Restoration Risks? 

 Because the injections are created from the patient’s blood, the treatment is natural and has no serious risks. However, some patients may experience side effects like swelling, bruising, and minor tenderness for a few days after the treatment. Additionally, patients with thin bleeding disorders, blood clot disorders, or permanent blood thinners may not be suitable for the treatment.
