Both PRP and PRF are derived from your blood, but they differ in how they’re processed and how long they act. PRP is centrifuged at a higher speed to separate plasma, providing a rapid release of growth factors for immediate stimulation. PRF, on the other hand, is processed more gently without anticoagulants, creating a natural fibrin mesh that slowly releases platelets and stem-cell-like factors over time. The result is faster activation from PRP and sustained benefits from PRF—making the combination ideal for both short-term and long-term hair restoration.

Ideal candidates are individuals experiencing early to moderate hair thinning or shedding rather than complete baldness. Since PRP and PRF use your own blood, the treatments are natural, biocompatible, and safe for most people. They are particularly effective for those with weakened but active hair follicles who want a non-surgical solution to stimulate regrowth. A consultation at Shemirani Beauty Clinic will determine your suitability based on scalp health, hair loss pattern, and overall medical history.

Your treatment begins with a detailed consultation, followed by a small blood draw similar to a routine blood test. The sample is processed in a medical centrifuge to concentrate platelets and growth factors, which are then injected into targeted scalp areas using fine needles. The entire session takes around 60–90 minutes and involves minimal discomfort—topical numbing is available to enhance comfort. There’s virtually no downtime, so you can return to your normal activities immediately after the appointment.

Most patients benefit from a series of three to four initial sessions spaced about four to six weeks apart, with maintenance treatments every six to twelve months. Early improvements in hair thickness and strength can appear within two to three months, while optimal regrowth typically becomes visible after three to six months as hair cycles progress. Because PRF continues releasing growth factors over time, results often last longer and require fewer follow-up sessions compared to PRP alone.

PRP and PRF treatments deliver long-lasting improvements in hair density, texture, and scalp health, but they aren’t a permanent cure for hair loss. Hair growth naturally follows biological cycles, so maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain results. Many patients enjoy thicker, stronger hair for 12–18 months before needing a touch-up. Following a healthy lifestyle and proper hair care routine will also help extend the longevity of your results.

PRP and PRF are extremely safe since they use your own biological material, eliminating allergic or immune reactions. Mild scalp tenderness, redness, or temporary swelling may occur after treatment but usually subsides within 24–48 hours. Serious complications such as infection or bruising are rare when the procedure is performed by trained medical professionals under sterile conditions. You’ll receive aftercare guidance to minimize any discomfort and ensure optimal healing.

After PRP/PRF therapy, you can resume most activities right away. However, it’s best to avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, or excessive sun exposure for 24–48 hours. Refrain from washing or touching your scalp for the first day and use gentle hair products thereafter. Good nutrition, hydration, and stress management also support hair regrowth. Following the aftercare plan and maintenance schedule recommended by your provider will help you achieve the best and most lasting results.
