PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) therapy is an advanced, non-surgical solution for hair loss and thinning hair. At Hairsthetix Hair Restoration & Aesthetic Clinic in Cape Town, Dr. Taariq Dada uses PRF to stimulate natural hair growth, improve hair density, and strengthen existing hair. PRF is a next-generation version of PRP, using fibrin to release growth factors slowly over time for longer-lasting and more effective results. Safe, minimally invasive, and natural, PRF therapy is ideal for patients seeking hair restoration without surgery.
PRF therapy involves drawing a small amount of your blood and processing it to concentrate fibrin-rich platelets. This platelet-rich fibrin is injected into the scalp to stimulate dormant hair follicles, improve circulation, and strengthen hair strands. Unlike PRP, PRF releases growth factors gradually, promoting healthier and thicker hair over time.
