PRF Hair Restoration
Hair thinning can feel gradual — until one day it doesn’t. A widening part. Reduced density. More hair in the brush. Less volume when styling.
PRF Hair Restoration is a regenerative treatment designed to support follicular stimulation using your body’s own platelet-rich fibrin.
At Élevé Esthetics in Jessup, Maryland, PRF therapy is performed within a physician-directed medical framework and incorporated into personalized hair restoration plans focused on long-term scalp health and structural support.
Reserve your consultation to determine if PRF Hair Restoration is appropriate for your goals.
What Is PRF Hair Restoration?
PRF stands for Platelet-Rich Fibrin.
It is derived from a small sample of your own blood, which is processed in a specialized centrifuge to concentrate platelets, growth factors, and fibrin matrix components.
Unlike traditional PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), PRF is processed at lower speeds and does not contain anticoagulants, allowing for a slower release of growth factors over time.
When injected into areas of thinning, PRF may support:
- Cellular signaling
- Follicular stimulation
- Improved scalp environment
- Collagen support around follicles

What to Expect
Consultation & Clinical Hair Assessment
Every PRF Hair Restoration treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation and scalp evaluation.
During your visit, we assess:
- Pattern and progression of thinning
- Scalp health and inflammation
- Hair density and miniaturization
- Medical history and medications
- Hormonal influences
- Lifestyle factors
This evaluation allows us to determine:
- Whether PRF is appropriate
- Whether combination therapy may be recommended
- Estimated number of sessions
- Realistic timeline expectations
If PRF is not appropriate, alternative options may be discussed.
Informed consent is required prior to treatment.
Treatment Appointment
During treatment:
- A small amount of blood is drawn
- Blood is processed in a sterile centrifuge to isolate PRF
- The PRF solution is carefully injected into targeted areas of thinning
The session typically lasts 45–60 minutes including processing time.
Most patients describe mild pressure or brief discomfort during injections. Topical numbing may be used when appropriate.
Because PRF is autologous (derived from your own blood), allergic reactions are uncommon.
Downtime & Recovery
Following treatment, you may experience:
- Mild scalp tenderness
- Temporary redness
- Minor swelling at injection sites
Most patients return to normal daily activity within 24 hours.
Strenuous exercise may be temporarily restricted.
Aftercare instructions are provided prior to leaving the office.
Results Timeline & Treatment Series
Hair growth cycles are gradual.
Clients may notice:
- Reduced shedding over time
- Improved texture and thickness within several months
- Gradual density improvement with a series of treatments
A series of sessions spaced several weeks apart is commonly recommended.
Maintenance sessions may be discussed depending on response.
Individual results vary. No specific outcome or degree of regrowth can be guaranteed.

PRF Hair Restoration may be appropriate for individuals who:
- Are experiencing early to moderate thinning
