A Natural Approach to Hair Restoration
Hair thinning can be subtle at first. A widening part, more hair in the shower, or reduced density through the crown are often the earliest signs. For many people, these changes are frustrating, especially when they appear despite good health and hair care. PRF for hair growth offers a natural, evidence-based option for those wanting to support healthier hair using their own biology.
At That Face Place, PRP and PRF hair restoration treatments are available with Nurses Leah and Cass. These treatments are designed to stimulate hair growth, improve scalp health, and support existing follicles, particularly in the early stages of thinning or as part of an ongoing maintenance plan.
What Is PRP and PRF for Hair Restoration?
PRP and PRF stand for Platelet-Rich Plasma and Platelet-Rich Fibrin. Both are derived from your own blood and contain concentrated platelets and growth factors that play a key role in tissue repair and regeneration.
A small blood sample is taken and processed to separate the platelet-rich component. This is then carefully introduced into targeted areas of the scalp where hair thinning or reduced density is present.
PRF is considered a next-generation version of PRP. It is processed more gently and contains a higher concentration of growth factors released slowly over time. This sustained release may offer longer-lasting support to hair follicles and the scalp environment.
How PRF Supports Hair Growth
Hair follicles go through natural growth cycles. Stress, hormones, genetics, ageing, and inflammation can cause follicles to become dormant or produce finer, weaker hairs. PRF works by supporting the scalp and follicles in several ways.
Growth factors in PRF help improve blood supply to the scalp, delivering oxygen and nutrients to hair follicles. They also support cellular repair and collagen production around the follicle, which can improve the overall scalp environment. This creates more favourable conditions for existing hair to grow thicker and for dormant follicles to re-enter the growth phase.
PRF does not create new hair follicles. Instead, it works with the follicles you already have, which is why it is best suited to early hair thinning, gradual hair loss, or maintenance after other hair restoration treatments.
Who Is PRF Hair Treatment Suitable For?
PRF for hair growth can be suitable for both men and women experiencing early to moderate hair thinning. It is commonly chosen by people who notice changes such as reduced volume, increased shedding, or thinning at the hairline or crown.
This treatment is particularly effective when hair follicles are still active but underperforming. Once follicles are no longer viable, results may be limited. A consultation is always recommended to assess scalp health, hair density, and suitability before starting treatment.
PRF can also be used as an ongoing maintenance option for people who have already achieved results and want to support long-term hair health.
The Treatment Process
PRF hair restoration is a straightforward in-clinic procedure. After your blood sample is taken, it is processed on-site to isolate the platelet-rich fibrin. The PRF is then carefully injected into targeted areas of the scalp using fine needles.
The treatment is well tolerated by most clients. Some mild tenderness, redness, or tightness of the scalp can occur and usually settles within a day or two. Because PRF comes from your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction is extremely low.
At That Face Place, each PRF hair treatment includes LED Light Therapy. LED therapy helps increase circulation, calm inflammation, and support cellular activity in the scalp, complementing the effects of PRF and enhancing overall results.
PRF vs PRP for Hair Growth
Both PRP and PRF are effective options for hair restoration, and the right choice depends on individual needs and clinical assessment.
PRP releases growth factors quickly after injection, making it a good option for stimulation and maintenance. PRF releases growth factors more slowly and over a longer period, which may provide more sustained support for hair follicles and scalp health.
During your consultation, Nurses Leah or Cass will recommend the most suitable option based on your hair concerns, scalp condition, and goals.
How Many Treatments Are Needed?
Hair growth is a gradual process, and results take time. Most treatment plans involve a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments as needed.
Initial improvements are often seen in reduced shedding and improved hair quality before visible increases in density occur. Full results may take several months as hair cycles progress naturally.
Consistency and realistic expectations are key. PRF works best as part of a long-term approach to hair health rather than a one-off solution.
Benefits of PRF Hair Restoration
PRF for hair growth offers several advantages for those seeking a natural treatment option.
It uses your own platelets, making it a biocompatible and low-risk treatment. There is minimal downtime, allowing most clients to return to normal activities quickly. PRF supports both hair follicles and scalp health, addressing the underlying environment rather than masking symptoms.
When combined with LED Light Therapy, PRF treatments provide a comprehensive approach to stimulating circulation, reducing inflammation, and supporting hair regeneration.
A Personalised Approach at That Face Place
Hair loss is never one-size-fits-all. At That Face Place, PRF hair restoration treatments are tailored to each client following a detailed consultation. Nurses Leah and Cass focus on evidence-based care, realistic outcomes, and supporting long-term hair health.
If you are noticing early hair thinning or want to maintain the hair you have, PRP or PRF hair restoration may be a suitable option. A consultation can help determine whether this treatment aligns with your needs and goals.
Supporting Hair Health Beyond Treatment
PRF works best when combined with good scalp care and overall health. Managing stress, addressing nutritional deficiencies, and using appropriate hair and scalp products can all play a role in maintaining results.
Your practitioner may also recommend complementary treatments or lifestyle adjustments to support your hair restoration journey over time.
