LMC provides personalized PRP and PRF hair treatments based on your scalp assessment, hair-loss pattern, medical history and treatment goals.
PRP hair treatment may be appropriate for men and women experiencing early to moderate hair thinning while the hair follicles are still active. During your consultation, we assess your scalp, hair-loss pattern, medical history, and treatment goals before recommending a personalized plan.
PRP may help men experiencing androgenetic alopecia, including a receding hairline, thinning crown, or reduced hair density. Treatment is generally most appropriate during the early to moderate stages while viable follicles remain.
Women experiencing diffuse thinning, reduced hair density, or a widening part line may be candidates for PRP. The underlying cause of hair loss should be assessed before beginning treatment.
Patients experiencing increased or persistent hair shedding may benefit from PRP after an assessment identifies the possible cause and confirms that active hair follicles are present.
PRP may be used before or after hair transplantation to support scalp recovery, maintain existing hair, and improve the overall appearance of hair density as part of a broader restoration plan.
PRP may not be recommended for completely bald areas without active follicles, active scalp infections, certain blood or platelet disorders, untreated medical causes of hair loss, or patients expecting surgical-level restoration.
Every type of hair loss is different. During your complimentary consultation, we'll evaluate your scalp, review your medical history, discuss possible causes of your hair loss, and determine whether PRP, PRF, or another treatment is the most appropriate option for your goals.

These photos show real patients treated at LMC using personalized hair restoration protocols. Results depend on the cause and stage of hair loss, the health of existing follicles, the treatment plan, and individual biological response.
Individual results vary. Photos are displayed with patient consent and do not guarantee a particular outcome. Some patients may have received combination treatment where clinically appropriate.
PRP hair restoration use regenerative components from your own blood to support scalp health, active follicles, and healthier-looking hair growth over time.
Your provider reviews your hair loss pattern, scalp condition, medical history, and goals. HairMetrix AI imaging may be used to measure density and track progress.
A small amount of your blood is collected and processed using the selected PRP or PRF system based on your treatment plan.
The blood is processed to separate and concentrate regenerative components such as platelets, plasma, or fibrin matrix depending on the chosen protocol.
The prepared PRP or PRF is injected into targeted scalp areas where active follicles are still present and support is needed.
Most patients return to normal activities the same day. Mild tenderness, redness, or sensitivity may occur temporarily.
Results develop gradually. A treatment series is usually recommended, and progress can be monitored with follow-up photos or scalp analysis.
Hair Restoration Treatment Comparison
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) are regenerative hair-restoration treatments prepared from a patient’s own blood. Both may support active hair follicles and improve the appearance of thinning hair, but they differ in preparation, composition, treatment volume, and clinical evidence. The appropriate option depends on your hair-loss pattern, scalp condition, medical history, and treatment goals.
At LMC – Laser Medical Clinic in Richmond Hill, we offer Arthrex ACP® PRF hair restoration for appropriate patients experiencing male or female pattern hair loss, diffuse thinning, or excessive shedding. The treatment uses a platelet-rich fibrin preparation produced from the patient’s own blood without an added anticoagulant.
Unlike conventional PRP, PRF contains a fibrin matrix that may support a more gradual release of platelet-derived growth factors. It may help support existing follicles, scalp health, and the appearance of thicker, healthier-looking hair. PRF does not create new follicles, and individual results vary.
| Feature | PRP Hair Treatment | PRF Hair Treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Prepared From | The patient’s own blood. | The patient’s own blood. |
| Preparation Method | Centrifuged to isolate platelet-rich plasma. | Processed to produce a platelet-rich fibrin preparation. |
| Added Anticoagulant | Typically prepared with an anticoagulant. | Prepared without an added anticoagulant. |
| Fibrin Matrix | No. | Yes. |
| Growth-Factor Release | Platelet activation produces an earlier release of growth factors. | The fibrin matrix may support a more gradual release of growth factors. |
| Treatment Volume | Volume varies according to the preparation system and protocol. | Often provides a smaller injectable volume and must be used promptly before clot formation. |
| Potential Uses | May be selected when a customized platelet concentration or greater treatment volume is needed. | May be selected when a fibrin-based preparation without an added anticoagulant is clinically appropriate. |
| Hair-Loss Concerns | Male and female pattern hair loss, diffuse thinning, and selected hair-transplant support. | Selected cases of pattern hair loss, diffuse thinning, or excessive shedding following clinical assessment. |
| Clinical Evidence | More extensively studied for androgenetic alopecia, although preparation methods and protocols vary. | Emerging evidence is promising, but fewer clinical studies are currently available. |
| Which Treatment Is Better? | PRP may be preferable for some patients depending on the required volume, platelet concentration, and treatment plan. | PRF may be preferable for selected patients based on their assessment and the provider’s clinical recommendation. |
Results vary and a consultation is required to determine candidacy.

HairMetrix® AI trichoscopy helps assess hair thinning and monitor changes during a personalized PRP or PRF hair-restoration plan. At LMC in Richmond Hill, serving Toronto and the GTA, this technology evaluates hair density, follicular units, hair-shaft calibre and the terminal-to-vellus ratio.
Hair density can be difficult to evaluate through ordinary photographs alone. HairMetrix® establishes a baseline and allows follow-up measurements to be compared throughout your hair-restoration treatment.
At LMC – Laser Medical Clinic, our PRP and PRF hair restoration protocols are customized based on your hair loss pattern, scalp condition, treatment goals, and the concentration or volume needed for your case.
Our four-tier system helps match the right regenerative option to the right patient, from early thinning support to advanced high-concentration PRP and high-volume PRF protocols.

RegenLab PRP is often a starting option for patients noticing early signs of thinning or mild hair density changes. It uses a closed, sterile centrifugation process to prepare platelet-rich plasma from the patient’s own blood.
This option may help support scalp circulation, follicle activity, and the overall scalp environment. It is often considered for patients who want a natural, non-surgical introduction to regenerative hair restoration.
Natural PRF option with a fibrin matrix for sustained release.
Arthrex ACP PRF is a second-generation platelet-rich fibrin option created without synthetic additives or anticoagulants. PRF forms a natural fibrin matrix that can help hold regenerative components in place after treatment.
Compared with standard PRP, PRF is often selected when a provider wants a more natural scaffold and a slower release profile. It must be prepared and used promptly to preserve its biological properties.
High-volume PRF for broader scalp coverage and stronger support.
Arthrex ACP MAX PRF is an advanced high-volume PRF option designed to provide more regenerative material per session compared with standard PRF protocols.
With up to approximately 30 mL of PRF available depending on the protocol, ACP MAX PRF may be useful when broader scalp coverage is needed. It can be considered for patients with moderate thinning or larger treatment areas.
Advanced high-concentration PRP with customizable cellular composition.
Arthrex Angel 7% PRP is LMC’s advanced PRP option for patients who may benefit from a more concentrated, customizable PRP protocol. The Angel system uses automated separation and density-based processing to help refine the PRP composition.
This system allows the provider to customize the cellular composition of the PRP depending on patient needs, treatment goals, and clinical assessment. It may be considered for more advanced thinning patterns or patients seeking a higher-level PRP option.
Your provider will recommend the most appropriate PRP or PRF option after assessing your scalp, hair density, medical history, and treatment goals. Results vary, and PRP/PRF is generally most useful when active follicles are still present.

Yes. Eligible patients may request Pro-Nox® during PRP or PRF hair treatment to help reduce discomfort and treatment-related anxiety. The system delivers a fixed 50% nitrous oxide and 50% oxygen mixture that you self-administer through a breathing mouthpiece.
Pro-Nox is patient-controlled, takes effect within a few breaths and allows you to remain awake and responsive. Screening and consent are required, and the fee is $50 per treatment.
The most common cause of progressive hair thinning is androgenetic alopecia, also known as male or female pattern hair loss. Genetic and hormonal factors can gradually miniaturize susceptible hair follicles and shorten the active growth phase.
Other causes include iron or nutritional deficiencies, thyroid conditions, hormonal changes, stress, illness, certain medications, telogen effluvium and autoimmune conditions such as alopecia areata. Identifying the likely cause is important before considering PRP hair treatment in Richmond Hill or Toronto.
PRP hair treatment uses platelet-rich plasma prepared from a small sample of your own blood. The blood is processed to concentrate platelets and plasma before the preparation is injected into areas of the scalp where active follicles remain.
Platelets release signalling proteins and growth factors that may support the scalp environment and existing follicles. PRP cannot create new follicles or restore hair in areas where follicles are no longer active.
PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is generally prepared as a concentrated liquid plasma product, often using an anticoagulant. PRF, or platelet-rich fibrin, is prepared without an added anticoagulant and forms a natural fibrin matrix.
The fibrin matrix may allow a more gradual release of platelet-derived growth factors. Neither treatment is universally better. The recommended option depends on your hair-loss pattern, scalp condition, medical history, treatment area and provider assessment.
Learn more about PRF hair restoration.
LMC offers four platelet-based hair-restoration options with different preparation methods, treatment volumes and concentrations:
Your provider will recommend the most appropriate option after reviewing your scalp, hair density, medical history and treatment goals.
PRP may be appropriate for men and women with early to moderate hair thinning while active follicles remain. It may be considered for male or female pattern hair loss, diffuse thinning, excessive shedding and selected patients before or after a hair transplant.
PRP is generally less effective in completely bald areas where follicles are no longer active. A consultation and scalp assessment are required to determine whether PRP, PRF or another approach is suitable.
PRP or PRF may not be recommended for patients with an active scalp infection, certain blood or platelet disorders, severe thrombocytopenia, uncontrolled medical conditions, significant immunosuppression or current chemotherapy. Treatment may also be postponed during pregnancy or breastfeeding according to clinic policy.
Tell your provider about your medical conditions, medications, supplements and previous hair-loss diagnoses before treatment. Eligibility is determined through an individual medical assessment.
Many patients begin with approximately three to five PRP or PRF sessions spaced several weeks apart. The recommended schedule depends on the cause and stage of hair loss, follicle health, selected technology and individual response.
Maintenance treatments may be recommended every few months to help support ongoing results. Your treatment plan will be personalized during consultation.
PRP hair-restoration results develop gradually because hair grows in cycles. Some patients notice reduced shedding first, followed by changes in visible density or hair thickness over the following months.
Results vary and cannot be guaranteed. Outcomes may be influenced by the cause of hair loss, baseline follicle health, medical factors and adherence to the recommended treatment schedule.
HairMetrix AI trichoscopy provides objective scalp imaging that can measure hair density, follicular units, hair-shaft calibre and the terminal-to-vellus ratio.
The analysis establishes a baseline and allows measurements to be compared over time. A complimentary HairMetrix AI hair and scalp analysis, valued at $199, is included with eligible PRP or PRF package purchases.
Scalp injections may cause temporary pressure, pinching or discomfort. Sensitivity varies between patients, and comfort options can be discussed before treatment.
LMC offers optional Pro-Nox® nitrous oxide and oxygen support for eligible patients. Pro-Nox is patient-controlled and may help reduce treatment-related discomfort and anxiety while you remain awake and responsive. Screening is required, and the add-on fee is $50 per treatment.
Temporary effects may include scalp tenderness, redness, swelling, sensitivity, minor bruising or a mild headache. These effects commonly improve within several days, although recovery varies.
Less common risks include infection, bleeding, scarring, nerve or blood-vessel injury and an unsatisfactory response. Your provider will explain the risks and aftercare instructions before treatment.
PRP or PRF may be administered through targeted manual scalp injections or with an injection device such as the U225, depending on the treatment plan and areas requiring coverage.
The injection method is selected according to your scalp, hair-loss pattern, treatment product and clinical assessment.
Follow the preparation instructions provided by the clinic. You may be advised to avoid alcohol and smoking before treatment, stay well hydrated and arrive with a clean scalp.
Tell your provider about all medications and supplements, particularly anticoagulants, antiplatelet medications and anti-inflammatory drugs. Do not stop a prescribed medication unless instructed by the prescribing clinician.
PRP and PRF hair treatments are generally not covered by OHIP because they are usually considered elective treatments. Private insurance coverage is uncommon, so confirm directly with your insurance provider.
LMC offers transparent pricing, with PRP treatments starting from $400. Eligible purchases of $1,500 or more may qualify for six-month 0% financing through Affirm, subject to approval and applicable terms.
No. PRP does not cure the genetic or hormonal factors associated with androgenetic alopecia. It may support existing active follicles and improve the appearance of hair density in appropriately selected patients.
Maintenance treatments or other medical hair-loss therapies may be needed to help preserve results. Sudden, patchy or unexplained hair loss may require assessment by a physician or dermatologist.
Depending on the diagnosis and treatment goals, PRP may be combined with prescribed hair-loss medications, selected topical products, scalp mesotherapy, post-transplant care or other supportive treatments.
Combination treatment should only be recommended when clinically appropriate for your hair-loss pattern and medical history. Complete the Hair Loss Assessment or book a consultation for personalized recommendations.
