Hair Regeneration
GROWTH OF NEW HAIR IS SEEN AS EARLY AS A MONTH
Many of us suffer from thinning hair and hair loss. Hair loss is typically hereditary which means that the genes whose role is to keep hair follicles going tend to gradually shut down resulting in less hair, as well as shorter and finer hairs in the affected areas of the scalp.
For decades hair restoration options have been limited to surgical hair transplants and medical therapy such as Rogaine and Propecia. Advanced non-surgical hair restoration therapies using Plasma show great results in slowing hair loss and increasing hair growth by stimulating inactive hair follicles stem cells.
What is Regenerative Plasma Therapy?
Regenerative Plasma Therapy is a procedure in which your blood is drawn and then spun down into a concentration of platelets derived from your own blood. Platelets are proven to be a rich source of proteins called growth factors which stimulate stem cell activity in dormant (sleeping) hair follicles and has significantly improved effectiveness.
Can Regenerative Plasma Therapy alone be used for Hair Restoration?
While plasma injections alone have been shown to stimulate hair growth, the success and duration of hair stimulation is greater when Regenerative Plasma Therapy is combined with supplementation.
3-6 plasma injections are recommended for a hair series, due to improved results with 3 or more injections. As with aging it is important to maintain cell growth with routine continuation of treatment.
How is this done?
The Regenerative Plasma Therapy procedure starts with obtaining a small blood sample from the patient, identical to a routine blood draw for lab tests. Plasma is then isolated from the blood. The procedure takes less than an hour and little to no downtime. A variable amount of scalp discomfort and swelling may be present for 1-2 days.
Growth of new hair is seen as early as a month but typically within 4-6 months after the Regenerative Plasma Therapy procedures and the hair continues to become thicker over a period of 12-18 months. Although significant improvement can be seen with just a single Regenerative Plasma Therapy treatment, a series of treatments maximizes the potential and longevity for hair growth. Results often take longer to appear in women since their longer hair may hide the new shorter hairs which have regrown.
Who can benefit from Hair Restoration Treatments?
Hair restoration treatments restore hair quality and quantity for men and women with thinning hair and can help prevent hair from additional shedding. Treatments can also be used in patients who wish to maintain their hair without using medications like Propecia or Rogaine.
When are Hair Restorations not likely to be effective?
Treatments are more effective on patients experiencing hair loss and hair thinning, as opposed to those with severe hair loss who have a complete loss of follicle. Treatments can only work on existing (but miniaturized) hair follicles that are still alive and present on the head but they cannot bring back dead hair follicles. Whether or not a specific patient will respond to treatments is not predictable.
What about the Longevity of Treatments?
The longevity of AmnioFix treatments can vary from patient to patient but has been shown to be in the range of years. Patients with more advanced hair thinning may require additional treatment in 12-18 month intervals to further build on initial results.

PRE - PROCEDURE
We are looking forward to seeing you soon for your PRF session at Columbia Shores Regenerative Health. Please plan to be here about 60 minutes. Here are a few pre-procedure instructions that we find help optimize the results of the PRF.
Ok to wash hair day of procedure.
You may continue other hair loss treatments such as minoxidil, hormone blocking tablets before your procedure. If you are not sure if you should be stopping a medication, please ask.
Ok to color hair 48 hours prior to procedure.
Discontinue blood thinning agents such as vitamin E, vitamin A, Ginko, Garlic, Flax, Cod Liver Oil, Essential Fatty Acids and least one week before your treatment.
Avoid aspirin, Advil, Motrin, Ibuprofen, Naproxen, and other anti inflammatory medications 48 hours prior to procedure. We want inflammation to occur – as this is one mechanism by which PRP works! You may take Tylenol for any pains, discomforts or joint pains you may have.
Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your PRF session.
Stop smoking or limit smoking for one week prior to your procedure. Smoking can limit and affected our healing process.
POST - PROCEDURE
Congratulations on completing your PRF Procedure. It is not necessary to make many changes in your plans today. It is quite normal to experience some mild soreness, and headache. Not all individuals experience this, but it can occur. Tylenol and ice pack are best to alleviate tenderness.
Please shampoo your hair tomorrow morning with any shampoo you wish.
Best to wait 24-48 hours to color hair.
Avoid direct sunlight on head for 24 hours. Recommend wearing a hat day of procedure.
Do not use blood thinning agents such as vitamin E, vitamin A, Ginko, Garlic, Flax, Cod Liver Oil, Essential Fatty Acids and least one week after your treatment.
Avoid aspirin, Advil, Motrin, Ibuprofen, Naproxen, and other anti inflammatory medications for 48 hours after your procedure (if possible try for 7 days).
Avoid alcohol for 24 hours.
Avoid smoking for 24 hours – we find it makes a big difference to healing.
REGENERATIVE PLASMA THERAPY
Regenerative Plasma Therapy is the perfect solution to stimulate cell growth within the body using our own platelets and growth factors.
Regenerative Plasma Therapy Injections are the perfect solution to stimulate cell growth within the body. The patient’s blood is drawn, processed, and then used for treatment. These platelets/stem cells contain bioactive proteins and growth factors that serve to accelerate tissue repair and regeneration and to activate stem cells.
Recommended Treatment
The number of injection appointments and the number of injections per appointment vary from person to person, depending on how much tissue (collagen, cell and hair growth) has been lost and area of treatment.
Benefits
Plump lips
Enhanced shallow contours
Softens facial creases and wrinkles
Decreases the appearance of dark under eye
Helps reestablish volume loss, resulting in a refreshed younger look
Lifts targeted areas, such as the cheeks and jawline
“I have had thinning hair as long as I can remember, and I come from a long line of family members with hair loss. I heard about the process of putting your own blood back into your head for hair growth from my hair dresser, who has seen results herself, so I decided to give it a try. I figured I had nothing to lose. I have competed three treatments, and notice that the results are getting better over time. A few things I did wish that I would have known before the treatments were done are: Drink a lot of water before procedure. She will draw 60cc of blood, and that seems like a LOT when you aren’t hydrated well. Your head will be numbed first, and ice is applied, but the treatments still don’t feel very good when you feel the blood being injected. It’s a small price to pay for having my hair back though! I also wish I would have brought a hat with me to wear out of the office my first treatment. Aside from that, I am very satisfied with my results, and I have recommended this treatment to many of my family members, who have also had it done.”
