PRF Hair Loss Treatment in Sarasota, FL

Hair thinning or loss can be distressing at any age, but today’s advancements in regenerative dermatology make restoration possible without surgery or medication. At American Dermatology Associates in Sarasota, FL, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Jennifer Plush offers platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) therapy, an advanced treatment that uses your body’s own healing factors to stimulate hair growth and strengthen existing follicles naturally.

What Is PRF Hair Restoration?

PRF is the next evolution of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. Derived from a small sample of your own blood, PRF is processed using a specialized centrifuge to separate the most regenerative components — platelets, fibrin, white blood cells, and stem cells. These components contain high concentrations of natural growth factors that encourage tissue repair and new cell formation.

When injected into the scalp, PRF activates dormant hair follicles and improves blood supply in the treated area, helping hair grow thicker, stronger, and healthier over time. Because PRF is completely autologous (taken from your own body), it is 100% natural and free from additives or chemicals.

PRF vs. PRP: What Makes PRF Different

While both PRP and PRF use the body’s platelets to encourage healing, PRF has a few key advantages:

Slower release of growth factors: The fibrin matrix in PRF allows gradual delivery of healing factors for longer-lasting stimulation.
Higher concentration of platelets and stem cells: PRF’s unique processing method preserves more active regenerative cells.
No additives: Unlike PRP, PRF does not use anticoagulants, keeping it entirely natural and biocompatible.

These differences make PRF a more advanced and effective option for many patients seeking hair restoration.

How PRF Hair Loss Treatment Is Performed

Dr. Plush begins by drawing a small amount of blood, which is processed to isolate the platelet-rich fibrin layer. The PRF is then injected into targeted areas of the scalp where hair thinning or loss has occurred. The entire procedure typically takes less than an hour and requires no downtime.

For best results, most patients undergo a series of treatments — typically three to four sessions spaced about four to six weeks apart — followed by periodic maintenance sessions every six to twelve months.

Recovery and Results

Because PRF is derived from your own blood, allergic reactions are virtually nonexistent. You may experience mild redness, tenderness, or slight swelling for a day or two after treatment, but these effects fade quickly. Noticeable improvements in hair texture and density often begin within a few months, with continued enhancement as your body naturally regenerates new growth.
