Plasma Rich Fibrin
Aesthetic Clinic in St. John's, NL, led by Dr. Shane Seal
PRF hair treatment with Arthrex ACP is a cutting-edge way to address hair thinning and loss, using your body’s own healing power. We begin with a simple blood draw, similar to a routine blood test. This sample is then processed in the Arthrex ACP system, a specialized centrifuge that separates the PRF from other blood components. The resulting Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is then carefully injected into targeted areas of the scalp experiencing hair loss or thinning.
PRF’s effectiveness comes from its concentrated growth factors and fibrin matrix, which stimulate the natural healing processes.
This minimally invasive procedure requires little to no downtime, allowing you to return to your normal activities almost immediately.
How it works.
The process begins with a simple blood draw, much like a routine blood test. This sample is then placed into the advanced Arthrex ACP® system, a specialized centrifuge. This system uses a unique, 100% organic process to separate the PRF from other blood components. Unlike other systems, the Arthrex ACP®’s slower spin speed keeps the platelets, growth factors, and fibrin intact, maximizing the therapeutic potential of the PRF. The resulting liquid PRF, rich in growth factors and a fibrin matrix, is then carefully and precisely injected into the treatment area, whether it’s the scalp for hair restoration or the under-eye area for rejuvenation.
Benefits of PRF Therapy for Hair Restoration & Under-Eye Rejuvenation:
- Natural & Biocompatible: PRF uses your own blood, eliminating the risk of allergic reactions or rejection. The Arthrex ACP® system ensures a pure and organic preparation without any synthetic additives.
- Stimulates Hair Growth & Skin Renewal: The concentrated growth factors in PRF stimulate dormant hair follicles, encouraging new hair growth. In the under-eye area, these growth factors promote collagen and elastin production, improving skin texture, tone, and reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark circles.
- Strengthens Existing Hair & Improves Skin Elasticity: PRF helps fortify existing hair follicles, making them more resistant to damage and breakage. Under the eyes, it improves skin elasticity and firmness.
- Minimally Invasive: The procedure is minimally invasive and requires little to no downtime. You can typically return to your normal activities immediately following treatment.
- Addresses Multiple Concerns: PRF therapy can effectively address hair thinning and loss from various causes, including stress, hormonal imbalances, and genetics. For under-eye rejuvenation, it addresses dark circles, hollowing, fine lines, and wrinkles.
- Safe & Effective: The Arthrex ACP® is the only all-in-one closed system for PRF production available in Canada, offering a safe and sterile procedure.
PRF therapy with the Arthrex ACP® system offers a natural, effective, and convenient solution for those seeking to revitalize their hair and rejuvenate their under-eye area. Contact us today to learn more about how PRF can help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
