Increased shedding, a wider parting, a receding hairline, a more visible crown or thinner hair can have different causes.

First we assess the pattern of hair loss. Then we decide whether treatment is indicated.

Medical assessment before any treatment.

It is prepared from your own blood and applied to the scalp through small injections. It may be used in certain types of hair loss.

It is also obtained from your own blood, through different processing.

There may be redness, tenderness or slight swelling. Recovery is usually short.

The hair cycle is slow. Progress is assessed over the months.

PRP/PRF do not create new follicles and do not treat all causes of hair loss.
