PRF HAIR RESTORATION TREATMENT IN NORTH CAROLINA
PRF HAIR RESTORATION PROCEDURE INSTRUCTIONS
PRF (Platelet-rich-fibrin) treatment is a non-surgical approach for men and women losing hair on their scalps or brows. PRF has been shown to increase hair count, hair thickness, and promote the growth phase of the hair cycle in a growing number of medical publications.
Before Treatment
● Avoid medications that inhibit blood-clotting such as vitamin E, aspirin, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for seven days prior to treatment.
● Avoid systemic use of Corticosteroids for at least 3 days prior and 3 days post treatment (steroids disrupt the healing cascade which is needed for results).
● As you prepare for your treatment, please notify staff of any changes to your medical history, health status, and personal activities that may be relevant to your treatment. Reschedule your appointment at least 48 hours in advance if you do not feel well.
● Hydrate the day before your appointment and the day of your appointment for ease of the blood draw.
Day of Treatment
● Arrive at your appointment with clean hair- no products, hairspray, dry shampoo, etc.
● If you have long hair, brush thoroughly before treatment removing knots and tangles.
● The procedure includes multiple fine needle injections and mild discomfort. Tenderness can last for a few hours or a few days.
● You may experience temporary pressure/headache for up to 2 hours post treatment.
