Hair Restoration
Hair thinning can happen gradually and is often influenced by genetics, hormones, stress, aging, and overall health. Many patients first notice a widening part, increased shedding, or reduced density before more significant hair loss occurs.
At Elevé Esthetics, hair restoration treatments are designed to support natural hair growth using regenerative treatment options that improve scalp health and support follicle activity. Treatment is customized based on your hair pattern, scalp condition, and long-term goals.
As scalp health and follicle activity improve, many patients notice gradual improvement in hair thickness, density, and overall hair quality. Hair restoration is most effective when started early, and a series of treatments is often recommended for best results.
How Hair Restoration Is Used
Hair restoration treatments are used to support scalp health, improve follicle activity, and increase hair density over time. Treatment is customized based on your hair pattern, scalp condition, and underlying causes of hair thinning.
Hair restoration may be recommended if you are experiencing:
Hair thinning and reduced hair density
A widening part line
Early-stage hair loss
Postpartum hair shedding
Stress-related hair loss
Reduced hair density
Weak or thinning strands
Early follicle miniaturization
Hair restoration is most effective for patients with early to moderate hair thinning, when hair follicles are still active. Treatment does not create new hair follicles, but it can help strengthen and support existing follicles to improve hair thickness and density over time.
Hair Restoration Treatment Options
PRF Hair Restoration
PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) is a regenerative treatment derived from your own blood that contains growth factors that support scalp health and hair follicle activity. Growth factors are released gradually over time to help support ongoing stimulation of hair follicles and improve overall scalp health.
Growth Factor Hair Restoration (PDGF)
Growth factor hair restoration uses regenerative growth factors, including PDGF, to support scalp health and the environment of the hair follicle. This option may be recommended for patients who want a regenerative treatment option without a blood draw.
The appropriate treatment option depends on the cause of hair thinning, scalp condition, and overall treatment goals. During your consultation, we determine which treatment plan is most appropriate for you.
Is Hair Restoration Right for You?
Hair restoration may be a good option if you:
- Notice increased hair shedding
- See a widening part or reduced hair density
- Have early-stage hair thinning
- Have a family history of hair thinning and want early treatment
- Want a non-surgical treatment option
- Want to support natural hair growth
- Are looking for a long-term hair health strategy
During your consultation, we evaluate your scalp, hair pattern, and contributing factors to determine whether hair restoration is appropriate and what type of treatment plan is recommended.

Your visit begins with a scalp and hair evaluation to assess hair pattern, density, and contributing factors. A personalized treatment plan is created based on your goals and scalp condition.

Treatment takes approximately 45–60 minutes and may include PRF or growth factor treatment depending on your treatment plan. PRF treatments include a small blood draw followed by injections into targeted areas of the scalp. Most patients experience mild discomfort during treatment.

What You Should Know
What is hair restoration?
Hair restoration refers to treatments designed to support hair growth, improve density, and strengthen existing hair follicles.
Am I a good candidate for hair restoration?
Hair restoration is most effective for patients with early to moderate hair thinning and active hair follicles. During your consultation, we evaluate your scalp and hair pattern to determine whether treatment is appropriate and what type of treatment plan is recommended.
How many treatments will I need?
Hair restoration is typically performed as a series of treatments, usually monthly for the first 3-4 months, followed by maintenance treatments over time. The number of treatments depends on your level of hair thinning and your long-term goals.
What is the difference between PRF and PDGF hair restoration?
PRF uses your body’s own growth factors derived from your blood, while PDGF hair restoration uses regenerative growth factors designed to support scalp health and hair follicle activity. During your consultation, we help determine which option is most appropriate for you.
Does hair restoration hurt?
Most patients experience mild discomfort during injections, but the treatment is generally well tolerated.
When will I see results?
Hair restoration works gradually. Improvements in hair quality and thickness may be noticed over several months, with many patients noticing changes within 3–6 months of consistent treatment.
Will my results look natural?
Most patients return to normal activities within 24 hours, although mild tenderness or redness may occur temporarily. After PRF treatment, we recommend waiting 24–48 hours before coloring your hair or using heat styling tools.
Is there downtime?
Our goal is to support and improve your natural hair growth so that results appear gradual and natural over time.
