PRF hair restoration in North Strathfield
PRF, platelet-rich fibrin, is the next generation of PRP: prepared from your own blood without additives, it forms a natural fibrin scaffold that releases growth factors slowly over days rather than hours. At Derma Regen Clinic, PRF hair restoration is nurse-led and starts with a complimentary hair and scalp consultation.
PRP or PRF: what the difference actually is
Both start with a small sample of your own blood. PRF is spun more gently and without anticoagulant, so it keeps a fibrin matrix that holds the platelets in place and releases their growth factors gradually, a slower, more sustained delivery to the follicle environment.
- Reintroduced to the scalp by fine injections, in the same careful, methodical way as PRP.
- Often chosen by people who want the fullest version of the regenerative approach.
- Whether PRP or PRF suits your scalp better is exactly what the complimentary consultation works out; sometimes the honest answer is neither.
Pricing
PRF hair restoration is $500 per session, about an hour each. Where a longer plan is genuinely appropriate, a 6-session hair restoration program is $1,800, agreed at your consultation. Prices are as published on our live booking page; the consultation is complimentary.
Comfort, downtime and aftercare
Sessions take about an hour and most people find them very manageable, with comfort measures discussed first. Some scalp tenderness for a day or so is common. As with any clinical procedure there are risks and recovery considerations, and these are explained plainly at your consultation, along with simple aftercare. Results build slowly with the hair cycle and vary from person to person.
Is PRF better than PRP?
It is different rather than automatically better: slower, more sustained growth-factor release versus PRP's faster delivery. Which suits your scalp, and your budget, is assessed honestly at the complimentary consultation.
How long before I notice anything?
Hair responds on its own timetable, usually measured in months, not weeks. Progress is reviewed against your own baseline photos, and results vary.
Can I combine PRF with other hair treatments?
Sometimes, depending on your scalp and the cause of your thinning. Sequencing with exosome or PRP sessions is planned at consultation, never bundled by default.
