Hair Restoration With PRF in Portland & Lake Oswego

Stimulate Natural Hair Growth With Your Body’s Own Healing Power

At In My Own Skin MedSpa, we offer hair restoration with PRF (platelet-rich fibrin). This next-generation treatment harnesses the power of your own blood to encourage healthier, thicker hair naturally. PRF is an advanced form of PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy, releasing growth factors more gradually for longer-lasting benefits and enhanced hair growth.

What Causes Hair Loss?

Male-pattern and female-pattern baldness are both forms of androgenetic alopecia—a common condition driven by genetics and hormonal changes that become more pronounced with age. While this type of hair loss is more prevalent in men, women can also be affected.

Other factors that may contribute to hair loss include:

  • Deficiencies in vitamins, minerals, and protein
  • Certain medications, such as blood thinners, antidepressants, and cholesterol-lowering drugs
  • High levels of stress
  • Hairstyles that place tension on the follicles, like tight ponytails, buns, and cornrows
  • Infections, thyroid issues, and autoimmune diseases
  • For women, additional factors like oral contraceptive, pregnancy and menopause

Identifying the underlying cause can help us recommend the most effective treatment plan. For specific concerns, we recommend consulting your primary care provider.

What Is PRF for Hair Loss?

PRF is created by first drawing a small sample of your blood, then processing it in a centrifuge at a low speed. This method concentrates your platelets and white blood cells within a fibrin matrix, which holds and slowly releases powerful growth factors over time. When injected into targeted areas of the scalp, PRF helps stimulate dormant hair follicles, improve scalp health, and promote stronger, thicker hair growth.

What Are the Benefits of Hair Restoration with PRF?

  • Long-lasting results compared to traditional PRP
  • Gradual release of growth factors for sustained follicle stimulation
  • Improved hair thickness, density, and strength
  • Natural treatment using only your own blood—no additives or medications injected

Safe and effective for both men and women experiencing thinning hair

Who Is a Candidate for Hair Restoration With PRF?

You may be a good candidate if you:

  • Are noticing thinning hair, a receding hairline, or early hair loss
  • Have female-pattern or male-pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia)
  • Want a natural, non-surgical hair restoration option
  • Are in good health and have realistic expectations
  • Want to slow or reverse hair loss progression

Hair restoration with PRF can be effective on its own or as a part of a comprehensive hair regrowth plan that may include topical treatments such as Minoxidil.

How Is PRF Hair Restoration Performed?

  1. Blood Draw: First, a small sample of your blood is taken.
  2. Centrifuge Processing: The blood is spun at a lower speed to produce PRF, which contains a concentrated mix of platelets, white blood cells, and fibrin.
  3. Scalp Injections: The PRF is carefully injected into areas of thinning hair, where it stimulates growth and supports follicle health over time.

How many treatments will I need?

Most patients begin with a series of three treatments, spaced four to six weeks apart. As your hair improves, treatment frequency may decrease to maintenance sessions about twice a year.

For best results, we recommend combining PRF treatments with topical Minoxidil, which helps maintain hair density between sessions. Full instructions on how to use Minoxidil will be provided during your first PRF treatment.

What Is PRF Hair Restoration Recovery Like?

Recovery is typically quick and easy. Some patients may experience pinpoint bleeding, tenderness, or mild swelling at the injection sites, which typically resolves within a week.

To protect your results and promote healing:

  • Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, or other anti-inflammatory medications for 72 hours after treatment (TYLENOL® is fine if needed).
  • You may wash your hair the following day with a gentle shampoo.
  • Avoid hair coloring for 72 hours after treatment.
  • Skip hair products, sunscreen, or makeup on the treated area for at least 24 hours.
  • Avoid swimming, saunas, hot tubs, and excessive sun exposure for 48 hours.

When Will I See My PRF Hair Restoration Results?

Hair growth is a gradual process. Most patients start noticing improvements in hair texture and thickness within a few months, with more visible regrowth appearing after the second or third session. Results can continue to improve for up to a year, especially when maintenance treatments are performed.
