PRF Hair treatments in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth & Adelaide
Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) hair loss treatments can be considered the second generation of the highly regarded platelet rich plasma (PRP) treatments. It uses similar principles to treat the similar conditions but it may be considered to be more effective.
PRF treatments use extracts of your own blood to help promote the production of cells to help tackle hair loss and other hair loss-related conditions. As it uses your own blood, there is a lower risk of negative outcomes. The treatment is also moderately fast, with minimal pain and requires minimal recovery time.
PRF hair loss treatment can be effective for helping women and men experiencing:
Genetic hair loss
Androgenetic alopecia
Stress-related hair loss
Female hair loss and thinning
Male hair loss and thinning
Hormonal related hair loss
Menopause related hair loss

PRF Hair Treatment for Women
It is a misconception that only men experience hair loss. Around 40% of women experience hair thinning or loss by age 50. Women can experience genetic hair loss, hormonal hair loss and stress-related hair loss. PRF can be an effective treatment for female hair loss and thinning.
The earlier you seek treatment, the more effective it can be. Appointments last between 45 minutes to an hour, are relatively painless, require no surgery or invasive procedures and minimal recovery time.
PRF is a 100% autologous biomaterial, it can accelerate wound healing and tissue regeneration, can increase stimulation of osteogenesis and new blood vessel formation. PRF can contain a much greater concentration of platelets than normal blood, therefore, PRF may have great healing and regenerative properties.
PRF Hair Treatment for Men
PRF hair treatments can tackle the majority of conditions experienced by men. That includes male pattern baldness, stress-related hair loss, hair thinning and chronic conditions that result in hair loss.
PRF is considered the second generation to PRP. With PRF there is no anticoagulant in the tube that the blood is collected, the plasma actually forms a platelet and white blood cell-rich fibrin scaffold once injected into the treatment area. The fibrin clot can allow for a much slower and longer release of the growth factors and cytokines – in other words, PRF treatment can continue to release more growth factors over time, even after your treatment is completed.
The treatment is fast, with minimal pain and requires no recovery time. It’s also non-invasive, non-surgical and requires no pharmaceuticals!
Your PRF Hair Loss Treatment Appointment
Appointments should last between 45-60 minutes and will leave no sign. They are easy to fit into a busy schedule, including dinner hour!
How does all this work in practice? What does a PRF hair loss treatment look and feel like?
- PRF tubes & tube holder/cooler are stored in a fridge at 4 degrees.
- We withdraw a small amount of blood, using equipment specifically designed for PRF treatments.
- The PRF tube is then placed into a tube holder and cooler for 60 seconds. By cooling the blood, this can result in 20-50% more PRF liquid to be used to reintroduced into the areas where there is thinning or hair loss concerns.
- We immediately place that blood into a centrifuge designed for PRF treatments to separate the different elements of blood. The PRF tubes are spun at an exact 700rpm for 5 minutes.
- PRF is then carefully injected into the areas of concerns where there is hair loss and thinning. These fine injections are in conjunction with micro-needling the scalp where there is hair loss and thinning.
- We also provide optional LLLT therapy for 10 minutes which can increase blood flow to scalp, increase nutrient delivered to hair follicles, reduce the chances of inflammation and help promote healing.
Once complete, there is no signs of treatment being performed and you can go about your day like normal, however, do not exercise or shower for at least 4 hours.
It’s rare to experience discomfort or experience inflammation. If this happens, please contact us immediately on 0472 647 011.
PRF Hair Loss Treatment at Hair and Skin Science
PRF Treatments at Doctor-Led Hair Loss Clinics in Australia
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) hair loss treatment is a non-surgical procedure that uses your body’s own growth factors with the aim of supporting hair follicle health. Hair and Skin Science offers PRF hair treatments across 16 clinics in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide.
All treatments are performed by registered nurses and supported by Australian-registered doctors. A consultation is the first step in determining whether PRF is appropriate for your individual situation.
Advanced Natural Treatment for Maximum Results
PRF treatment may use a higher concentration of growth factors and platelets compared to standard PRP, delivered within a fibrin matrix that may allow for a more sustained release over time. As with all hair loss treatments, individual responses vary. PRF does not contain anticoagulants or pharmaceutical additives, and because it is derived from your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction to the material is considered low.
Performed Registered Nurses & supported by Australian Doctors
At Hair and Skin Science, all PRF treatments are performed by registered nurses and supported by a team of Australian-registered doctors, with experience in hair loss assessment and treatment. All practitioners are registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), and registration details are available on request. Your treating practitioner will discuss the procedure and what outcomes may realistically be achievable for your individual situation before proceeding.
Cutting-Edge Technology for Hair Regrowth
PRF treatment uses a centrifuge process to concentrate the fibrin matrix from your own blood. This matrix is understood to contain growth factors that may support hair follicle health. Unlike PRP, PRF does not contain anticoagulants, which allows the fibrin to form a natural scaffold that may release growth factors over a longer period following injection. Individual outcomes depend on a range of clinical and biological factors.
Customised Treatment Plans for Individual Needs
Every patient’s hair loss pattern and underlying causes are different. Our medical & health team may conduct a scalp and hair health analysis to develop a treatment plan appropriate to your individual situation. Whether you are experiencing early-stage thinning or more established hair loss, we work with you to set realistic expectations and discuss what may or may not be achievable with PRF treatment.
Comfort and Accessibility Across Australia
Our clinics are located across Australia’s major cities including Melbourne, Sydney, and Perth. The PRF procedure typically takes around 30-45 minutes. Comfort management options, including numbing agents where appropriate, are discussed at your appointment. Most patients are able to return to regular daily activities the same day, though we recommend avoiding exercise and showering for at least four hours following treatment. Individual recovery experiences vary.
