Can PRF Scalp Injections Help Reverse Menopause-Related Hair Thinning?

With the holiday season in full swing, you’ve probably put a fair bit of thought into your gift list. Thoughtful gifting often requires time and energy, but reserve some of that for yourself, too. 

If you could give yourself anything to help you make the most of 2024, what would it be? How about a healthy dose of self-confidence because of a thicker head of hair?

If you’re bothered by menopause-related hair thinning, give yourself the gift of talking with Elaine Phuah, DO, MBA, FACOI, and our team about scalp injections with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). With this hair restoration treatment — which we offer at Hanami Medspa in Fort Worth, Texas — we can help you enjoy a fuller head of hair. 

Understanding PRF

Before we dive into this treatment, let’s take a closer look at the solution we use for your treatment. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a lot like platelet-rich plasma (PRP), a solution that’s made waves for its effectiveness in treating hair loss. The main difference? PRF has more regenerative potential. 

Both PRF and PRP come from your own blood. The process starts when we take a very small blood sample. 

Using a centrifuge, we separate the platelets in your blood, which contain growth factors. For example, when you get a cut, your body directs platelets to the area to help it heal. By creating a solution rich in platelets, we can infuse your scalp with regenerative resources. This helps your hair follicles function their best. 

How PRF addresses menopause-related hair thinning

The hair follicle support that PRF provides makes it particularly exciting for treating the hair loss that arises during menopause. Hormonal changes can cause your hair follicles to thin while also slowing new hair growth. You might also notice that your hair falls out more easily.

With PRF hair restoration, we have a way to fight the follicle-based problems that arise during menopause. Injecting platelet-rich fibrin into your scalps means giving your hair follicles resources to defend against hormonal changes and grow thicker hair shafts faster. 

Usually, we recommend a series of 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. You should see results within a few months. Once you’re happy with your hair restoration results, we can transition you to biannual PRF treatments to help you maintain your results. 

If you’re bothered by menopause-related hair thinning, ‘tis the season to give yourself the gift of PRF hair restoration. To get started, call Hanami Medspa or make an appointment online today.
