PRF FOR HAIR RESTORATION IN SARASOTA
Losing hair can feel worse than wrinkles. We can help you grow it back.
We treat thinning hair like aging skin: with science and strategy. Hair loss is emotional and common. Whether from hormones, stress, aging, or illness, we focus on restoring thicker, healthier hair. PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) uses your own growth factors to reactivate dormant follicles and boost growth by up to 30%. We combine it with medical-grade scalp treatments to strengthen strands and support real, lasting results.
For many people, thinning hair isn’t just genetic — it’s driven by hormones.
Changes in estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone can interrupt the hair growth cycle, leading to thinning and increased shedding, especially in midlife. That’s why we often suggest hormone testing through our medical wellness division, RegenCen. If an imbalance is found, bioidentical hormone therapy may be recommended to address the root cause—supporting healthier hair along with better energy, skin, sleep, and overall vitality.
How PRF injections work for thinning hair
Quick blood draw
First, we perform a quick draw of your own blood. Our expert Phlebotomists are excellent at making this step and quick and painless as possible.
We separate the PRF from your blood.
Then, we use a centrifuge to separate out the highest concentration of PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) from your blood.
Small, quick injections
Finally, we use a tiny needle to inject your own PRF into a targeted area or areas (e.g. where you are thinning the most, or all over the top of your scalp). This leads to completely natural hair regrowth.
Before & After
Is PRF or PRP better for hair loss?
Both PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) and PRP (platelet-rich plasma) use your body’s platelets to stimulate hair regrowth. But for patients in Sarasota looking for the most advanced option, PRF is considered the next-generation treatment.
​
PRF contains a higher concentration of platelets, white blood cells, and growth factors than PRP, and it releases them more slowly. This creates a longer-acting regenerative effect on hair follicles, supporting thicker, healthier growth with fewer sessions. PRF is also processed without anticoagulants, so it stays 100% natural and closely aligned with the body’s own healing biology.
​
At Rita Medical Elite in Sarasota, we rely exclusively on PRF for hair restoration because it consistently delivers noticeable improvements in hair density, scalp health, and confidence. Let’s help you restore fuller hair with a treatment backed by science.
Frequently asked questions
How many PRF treatments will I need for thinning hair?
Best results are seen after a series of 3 treatments performed 4-6 weeks apart. One annual treatment is recommended to maintain improvement. PRF can also be injected to rejuvenate thinning brows and encourage growth.
Is there any downtime with PRP hair loss treatments near me?
No! It’s one of our easiest and low-key treatments. Walk in, walk out, and be patient as the results appear over weeks and months.
Are PRP injections for hair painful?
We will make your comfort a priority and can use topical, ice or even a nerve block to anesthetize the scalp.
Does this help hair thickness?
PRF can help thicken thinned out hair. Our clients report a difference in how it feels when they run their hands through their hair, and they feel new, baby hairs growing, too.
In what stage of hair loss does PRF work best?
Because PRF awakens dormant hair follicles, it works best in the early stages of hair loss.
How long does it take to see results from PRF injections?
Patients usually see and feel results after 2-3 treatments with an average of 33% increase in hair density and thickness after 6 months.
If I’m using a topical hair cream, should I stop before PRP treatments?
No. Continue to use your topical hair loss treatments while getting PRP or PRF injections.
