PRF Platelet-Rich Fibrin

For Hair Regrowth

PRF Advanced Regenerative Therapy – 100% Natural

At The Hair Clinic Auckland, we offer Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) — a cutting-edge, natural hair restoration treatment that uses your body’s own regenerative cells to stimulate hair growth and improve scalp health. PRF is the next generation of PRP, providing a longer-lasting release of growth factors to support sustainable hair regrowth.

How PRF Works & How We Prepare It

We begin by collecting a small sample of your blood, which is drawn into plain, sterile glass tubes without anticoagulants.

Using a specialised low-speed centrifuge, we spin the blood immediately at a controlled speed (~700 RPM for 8 minutes).

This unique process separates out a golden fibrin matrix, rich in platelets, leukocytes, and mesenchymal stem cells — without damaging the cells or adding chemicals.

Our clinical team carefully extracts the fibrin clot, ensuring the highest concentration of natural growth factors. This is then injected into targeted areas of the scalp using a fine 30G needle under sterile conditions.

Indications for PRF

The PRF matrix slowly releases key growth factors such as PDGF, VEGF, IGF, and TGF-β over 7–10 days, promoting blood vessel formation, prolonging the hair growth (anagen) phase, and activating dormant hair follicles.

  • Early-stage hair thinning

  • Androgenetic alopecia in men and women

  • Telogen effluvium

  • Maintenance post hair transplant

  • Can be combined with Nanoxidil (Minoxidil) or Finasteride

  • Can be combined with Exosomes for greater efficacy

  • Can be combined with PDO threads for improved hair growth outcomes

  • Best results are gained when a course of PRF Treatments regularly spaced 4 weeks apart are completed.

  • For continued hair growth a maintenance program is then implemented.


Preparation for PRF Treatments

Best results are obtained in those individuals who

  • Do not smoke

  • Avoid excess alcohol and drugs

  • Avoid aspirin and antiinflammatories such as nurofen and voltaren 2 weeks before and 6 weeks after treatment

  • Avoid Omega 3, Vit E supplements, Ginko Baloba for the same amount of time as aspirin and anti-inflammatories
