What Is PRF Treatment?
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) treatment is an innovative, non-surgical procedure that leverages the body’s natural healing processes to address hair loss and thinning. Drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood, separating it in a centrifuge, and extracting a concentrated layer rich in platelets and white blood cells PRF is injected into the scalp. This concentrated solution contains growth factors and a fibrin matrix, significantly enhancing its effectiveness compared to traditional platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The result is stimulated hair growth and improved tissue healing, making PRF a powerful option for those looking to restore their hair naturally.

NATURAL RESULTS
Our PRP hair loss treatment in St. Louis helps you achieve extremely natural results because it promotes real hair growth.
PRF hair loss treatment leverages your own blood and natural healing mechanisms, making it a safe and organic choice without the need for synthetic substances or foreign materials.
ZERO DOWNTIME
Unlike surgical procedures, your hair restoration won’t take weeks of downtime. After a PRP treatment, you can go about the rest of your daily activities.
This makes it an ideal option for busy individuals who can’t afford to take time off for recovery but still want to improve their hair’s appearance.
SAFE AND EFFECTIVE
PRP is a safe way to treat thinning or balding hair. You gain fuller and thicker hair without the risks that come with surgical hair transplant procedures.
Since PRF treatment uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reactions or infections is minimal, making it a highly trusted option. The unique way PRF is processed—at a lower speed compared to other methods—ensures that more white blood cells and stem cells are retained in the platelet layer used for treatment. This results in PRF treatments having up to 10 times more platelets than PRP treatments, enhancing their effectiveness.
Step-by-Step Process
Consultation
You’ll first meet with us for a free consultation to examine your hair and discuss your goals for your PRP hair loss treatment in St. Louis. We’ll assess your hair condition and create a tailored treatment plan that suits your unique needs.
Step-by-Step Process
Draw your blood
During your appointment, we’ll first draw blood from a vein in your arm to isolate your platelet-rich plasma. This process is quick and minimally invasive, ensuring you’re comfortable throughout.
Step-by-Step Process
Isolate the PRP
We’ll then run your blood through a centrifuge to separate the PRP from your blood. After, we place the PRP into syringes. This concentrated form of plasma is rich in growth factors, which are essential for stimulating hair growth.
Step-by-Step Process
Inject the PRP
Once in syringes, we’ll carefully inject your platelet-rich plasma into designated areas of your scalp. Using precise techniques, we ensure the PRF reaches the areas that need it most.
Step-by-Step Process
Recovery
You may notice minor swelling, but our PRP treatment requires no downtime. You can return to your daily activities immediately after the procedure, making it convenient for those with busy schedules.
How it works
Hair loss can be frustrating, but with PRP injections, you can regain confidence and even appear years younger. PRP is one of the most advanced, natural ways to regenerate and speed up tissue repair. It’s produced by your own blood, which is composed of plasma and platelet cells.
During the procedure, a small blood sample is drawn from your arm to extract platelet-rich plasma and fibrin. These components are then combined to create platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), which is injected into areas of the scalp experiencing hair loss. PRF is loaded with growth factors, white blood cells, platelets, and fibrin, working synergistically to:
Stimulate Hair Follicles: Growth factors in PRF awaken dormant follicles, encouraging them to transition from a resting phase to an active growth phase.
- Increase Blood Circulation: PRF enhances blood flow to the scalp, promoting healthier hair growth.
- Prolong Hair Growth Cycle: PRF extends the hair growth cycle, improving hair thickness and density.
- Reduce Inflammation: White blood cells in PRF help alleviate inflammation.
- Stabilize Growth Factors: Fibrin structures stabilize the growth factors, ensuring their effectiveness.
Especially beneficial after hair transplants, PRF injections enhance the growth cycle of newly transplanted follicles. The fibrin in PRF acts as a natural binder, keeping essential growth factors in the treatment area, and ensuring nutrients and proteins remain where they are most needed. Together, PRF cells and fibrin improve blood circulation, support cellular healing, and stimulate hair follicles into active growth, effectively combating hair loss.
Platelet-rich plasma
During the process, we separate your plasma from your blood using a centrifuge which concentrates the platelets in the plasma component of blood. After, we transfer the PRP into syringes to delicately inject into your scalp. This method ensures that the growth factors are delivered precisely where needed.
Results
Over time, growth factors in the plasma jumpstart hair growth, helping to replenish thinning hair. With consistent treatments, you’ll notice significant improvements in hair thickness and overall scalp health, providing a long-term solution to hair loss.
