⁉️PRP or PRF — which one is better for hair loss?

🩸 Both use your own blood and deliver platelet-derived growth factors to the scalp. But PRF is prepared without an anticoagulant, allowing natural fibrin formation and creating a fibrin-rich regenerative product.

✅ And now we have some very promising evidence.

🔎 A 2026 systematic review in Stem Cell Research & Therapy found that PRF showed the fastest and most consistent responses among the regenerative treatments reviewed, reporting 62–97% improvements in hair density within 3–6 months.

PRF isn’t simply the newer version of PRP. Its natural fibrin-based biology and emerging clinical results are exactly why PRF is my preferred platelet treatment for hair restoration.

⚠️ But preparation is everything. PRF is not just PRP at a slower centrifuge speed. Your RCF, centrifuge, tubes, timing and injection technique can completely change the product you’re delivering.

⚠️ These tiny dots under the lower lip are sebaceous filaments — and they’re completely normal.

💦 They’re actually one of the most requested areas during my facial treatments. Clients often ask me to squeeze or manually extract them because they think they’re blackheads.

But you shouldn’t! ❌

✅ Sebaceous filaments are a normal part of your pores. They help move sebum (your skin’s natural oil) to the surface. Even if you extract them, they naturally fill up and become visible again.

❌ Repeated squeezing or aggressive extraction can irritate the skin, cause inflammation and potentially damage the pore.

So remember: visible doesn’t always mean clogged — and not everything needs extracting.

✅ Yes. You can reduce how noticeable sebaceous filaments look, but you can’t permanently remove them because they’re normal structures.

For a serum, good options are:

👉🏻Salicylic acid (BHA) 1–2% — probably the most useful. It’s oil-soluble and can pe*****te into the pore, helping reduce excess sebum and buildup.
👉🏻Niacinamide 4–5% — can help with oil regulation and overall pore appearance.
👉🏻Retinoids/retinol — useful longer term because they normalise cell turnover and help prevent pore contents from accumulating.

PRF can create incredible changes — but patience is part of the process. ✨

Hair growth doesn’t happen overnight. PRF works gradually, supporting the follicles and creating the right environment for healthier, stronger growth over time.

Trust the process. Give your follicles time to respond. 🌱

⚠️ ITCHY SCALP? DON’T IGNORE IT.

❌ Persistent itching can be a sign of inflammation, seborrhoeic dermatitis, psoriasis, contact irritation, infection, or certain types of alopecia.

‼️ In some cases, nutritional deficiencies such as iron, vitamin D, B12 or zinc may also contribute to poor scalp and hair health.

⚠️ Constant scratching can further irritate the scalp and worsen inflammation.

⛔️ If itching keeps coming back — especially with burning, tenderness, redness, scaling or hair loss — get your scalp properly assessed.

One year after just 2 PRF sessions. ✨

PRF is different from PRP. It creates a fibrin matrix that supports a more gradual release of growth factors, so the regenerative activity continues beyond the treatment day.

Hair restoration takes time. 🌱
Trust the process. Trust your follicles.
