PRF Hair Restoration Treatments

Arthrex ACP PRF (Autologous Conditioned Plasma with Platelet Rich Fibrin) is a cutting-edge hair restoration therapy that utilizes your own blood's growth factors to stimulate hair regrowth. It involves a simple blood draw, processing the blood to isolate the platelet-rich fibrin, and then injecting it into the scalp where hair thinning or loss has occurred. This concentrated source of growth factors and healing proteins helps to revitalize dormant hair follicles and promote new hair growth.

Arthrex ACP PRF works by delivering a high concentration of growth factors and healing proteins directly to the hair follicles. These growth factors stimulate the hair follicles, encouraging them to transition into the active growth phase. This process can lead to thicker, fuller, and healthier hair over time. It also improves blood supply to the scalp, creating a more favorable environment for hair growth.

• Stimulates hair regrowth
• Increases hair thickness and density
• Improves blood supply to the scalp
• Uses your own blood, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions
• Relatively quick and minimally invasive procedure
• Long-lasting results

The procedure is generally well-tolerated. Most patients report minimal discomfort. A topical numbing cream can be applied to the scalp before the injections to further reduce any potential discomfort. You may experience some mild tenderness or bruising at the injection sites, which typically resolves within a few days.

The number of treatments needed varies depending on the individual and the extent of hair loss. Typically, a series of 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results. Maintenance treatments may also be recommended to sustain the benefits.

Yes, Arthrex ACP PRF is considered a safe and effective treatment for hair loss. Because it uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reactions or rejection is extremely low. As with any injection procedure, there is a small risk of infection or bruising, but these risks are minimal when the procedure is performed by a qualified and experienced professional.

Results from Arthrex ACP PRF can vary, but most patients start to see noticeable improvements in hair growth within a few months of their first treatment. Full results may take up to six months or more. Patience is key, as hair regrowth is a gradual process.

Arthrex holds patents on the specific methods and devices used to process and prepare their ACP PRF. This proprietary technology ensures the optimal concentration and purity of the platelet-rich fibrin, leading to consistently reliable and effective results. While other PRF systems exist, the Arthrex system's patented processes are what distinguish it and are why it's often referred to as the "true" PRF. This distinction comes from the specific way the blood components are separated and processed, which influences the quality and efficacy of the final PRF product used in the treatment.
