Confused whether PRP or PRF is better for hair restoration, wondering what the real difference is?
Here's what you need to know. π
β‘οΈ PRF vs PRP both use your blood to stimulate dormant follicles, key difference is PRF provides higher concentration of healing components and slower, longer release meaning stronger regrowth, fewer sessions, more durable results.
Key differences:
βοΈ PRP: liquid plasma, quick release over hours to days
βοΈ PRF: fibrin matrix with stem cells, slow release over weeks
βοΈ PRP uses anticoagulants keeping plasma liquid
βοΈ PRF prepared without anticoagulants allowing natural clot
βοΈ PRF contains higher growth factors, stem cells, immune cells
βοΈ PRF's extended release creates longer healing window
What each works best for:
βοΈ PRP excellent early thinning: 3-6 monthly sessions plus maintenance
βοΈ PRF for moderate to advanced with stronger effect
βοΈ Both best in androgenetic alopecia with viable follicles
βοΈ Early crown or frontal thinning responds well to PRP
βοΈ PRF chosen for partial PRP response or moderate severity
βοΈ Neither restores where follicles completely absent
Effectiveness:
βοΈ PRP increases count, thickness, density
βοΈ Early improvements 1-3 months, visible 3-6 months
βοΈ PRF shows stronger sustained benefits
βοΈ Thicker, healthier hair longer-lasting with PRF
βοΈ Both minimally invasive, safe
β οΈ Best choice depends on severity, pattern, prior treatments, budget. PRP forms baseline, works well early thinning. PRF increasingly chosen moderate to advanced. Neither creates new follicles where absent, don't replace transplants in advanced baldness.
