PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) Hair Restoration in Seattle, WA
Thinning hair can feel like such a buzzkill! The good news, though, is that you’ve got science-backed solutions that don’t involve surgery or harsh chemicals.
At Lux Aesthetics in Seattle, our providers have decades of combined experience and are all about helping you love what you see in the mirror. PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) hair restoration is one of our favorite ways to do just that.
This natural, growth-factor-packed treatment taps into your body’s healing abilities to support thicker, fuller-looking hair.
PRF Hair Restoration 101
PRF hair restoration uses your body’s platelets and fibrin to wake up sleepy hair follicles and encourage stronger, healthier growth. These blood components are packed with powerful growth factors that help nourish and revitalize thinning areas.
This simple, in-office service involves drawing a small amount of your blood, spinning it in a centrifuge, and then carefully applying it to areas where your hair needs a boost. There are no synthetic additives. We’re just helping your body do what it does best.
To make things even better, we also incorporate red light therapy into our treatment process. Red light therapy increases blood flow to the scalp and energizes hair follicles. This boosts growth and reduces inflammation.
Ideal Candidates
If you’re starting to notice more hair in your brush or a little extra scalp peeking through, PRF hair restoration could be your new go-to.
This treatment is a great fit for both women and men dealing with hereditary thinning, stress-related shedding, or hormone shifts from things like postpartum changes or menopause. It’s also smart for anyone who has patchy or thinning spots.
PRF hair restoration isn’t ideal for advanced hair loss, certain medical conditions (such as blood disorders), active scalp infections, or during pregnancy. It works best when some follicles are still active. A quick chat with our providers can help confirm if this is the right fit for you.
How to Prepare
Getting ready for your PRF hair restoration session is pretty simple. You’ll want to stay well-hydrated in the days leading up to your appointment (it helps with the blood draw) and avoid alcohol or heavy caffeine the day before.
Your provider might recommend pausing certain supplements, like fish oil, and blood-thinning medications to minimize bruising. It’s also a good idea to arrive with clean, product-free hair and scalp so your follicles are ready for their VIP treatment.
Post-Treatment Care
After your PRF hair restoration session, you can expect some tenderness, swelling, or redness around the treated areas. These symptoms shouldn’t keep you from your day-to-day routine, though.
Skip washing your hair for about 24 hours and hold off on harsh products, heat styling, or vigorous exercise for a couple of days. Your provider might suggest gentle scalp massages to help stimulate circulation.
Follow-up appointments may be recommended for the best long-term results. Your hair will thank you!

FAQs
Hair loss comes in several different varieties:
- Androgenetic alopecia: The most common type – also known as hereditary thinning or male/female pattern baldness.
- Telogen effluvium: Happens when stress, illness, or hormonal shifts (like postpartum changes or menopause) push more hair follicles into the shedding phase.
- Alopecia areata: An autoimmune condition that causes patchy hair loss.
- Traction alopecia: Comes from repeated pulling or tension on the hair.
Understanding what’s causing your hair loss is key to choosing the right treatment. Your provider can help you figure out what’s really going on.
Patience is key when it comes to PRF hair restoration. After all, it works in sync with your body’s growth cycles.
Most people start to notice subtle improvements, like reduced shedding and baby hairs popping up, within about three months. Fuller, thicker-looking hair typically develops after a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart, with more noticeable results often showing up around the six-month mark.
Because it’s a natural process, progress happens gradually. The wait is totally worth it when you see those strands start to fill in, though.
Since PRF uses your own blood to power up hair growth, side effects are usually pretty minimal. You might notice some tenderness, redness, swelling, or mild bruising at the injection sites right after treatment. These are normal and usually fade within a few days.
Some people experience a little scalp tightness or itching as things heal (and as those follicles get to work). Serious complications are rare, especially when the treatment is performed by an experienced provider like those at Lux Aesthetics. Our team will walk you through exactly what to expect and how to keep your scalp happy.
