About PRF Hair Restoration
PRF Hair Restoration is a regenerative scalp service that uses platelet-rich fibrin prepared from a small sample of your own blood. The concentrated PRF is placed into targeted areas of the scalp to deliver platelets and naturally occurring growth factors around existing hair follicles.
At MIHSA Aesthetics, PRF Hair Restoration is designed for suitable clients experiencing certain types of hair thinning or reduced hair density. Because hair thinning can have many different causes, an assessment is important before getting started.
How it works
A small sample of blood is collected and processed using a specialized spinning technique to isolate platelet-rich fibrin. The PRF is then placed strategically throughout areas of the scalp affected by thinning.
Platelets and naturally occurring growth factors within PRF help support the environment surrounding existing hair follicles. Because hair grows in cycles, improvement occurs gradually and takes time rather than appearing immediately.

Who it's for
PRF Hair Restoration may be a good fit for clients experiencing early hair thinning or decreased hair density where hair follicles are still present.
Hair thinning can be influenced by genetics, hormonal changes, nutrition, stress, and other factors. PRF is not suitable for every type of hair thinning, and clients with sudden or significant hair loss should consult their physician before getting started.
Areas
Common areas may include:
- Hairline
- Temples
- Frontal scalp
- Mid-scalp
- Crown
- Other areas of scalp thinning where follicles are still present
Frequently asked questions
What is PRF Hair Restoration and how does it work?
PRF Hair Restoration uses platelet-rich fibrin prepared from your own blood. PRF is placed into areas of scalp thinning, where platelets and naturally occurring growth factors help support existing hair follicles and the surrounding scalp environment.
When will I see results?
Hair restoration is gradual because hair grows in cycles. Changes generally take several months to become noticeable, and improvement may continue as your series progresses. Individual response varies depending on the cause and degree of thinning.
How long do results last?
Longevity varies and depends on the cause of thinning, age, genetics, ongoing thinning, individual response, and maintenance. PRF does not permanently stop every type of hair thinning, so maintenance sessions or additional approaches may be recommended.
How many sessions will I need, and how often?
PRF Hair Restoration is typically performed as a series. A personalized plan may include several initial sessions spaced approximately one month apart, followed by maintenance based on your response. Your provider will determine the right schedule after your assessment.
What is the recovery time or downtime?
Downtime is generally minimal. Temporary scalp tenderness, redness, swelling, sensitivity, or pinpoint bleeding may occur around injection sites. Most clients return to their usual daily activities quickly, and specific scalp and hair-care instructions will be provided afterward.
