Thinning hair is incredibly common, and there are gentle, non-surgical ways to support healthier, fuller-looking hair. At Skin by Lovely, we offer two growth-factor approaches: a natural option using your own blood (PRF), and an advanced option using a concentrated growth-factor formulation (PDGF+). Both are designed to nourish the scalp and support the follicles, and your provider will help you choose the right path for you.
Results vary from person to person, and individual outcomes can’t be guaranteed. A consultation helps determine whether either approach is appropriate for you.
Natural hair restoration uses Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF), drawn entirely from your own blood, with no synthetic additives. During an in-office visit, we draw a small sample, spin it to concentrate your platelets and their growth factors, and gently inject it into targeted areas of the scalp. The goal is to nourish the follicles and support the scalp environment where healthy hair grows.
PRF is fully autologous (100% from you), with no added anticoagulants, which is what distinguishes it from older PRP methods.
For those seeking an elevated approach, our advanced option uses a concentrated PDGF+ (platelet-derived growth factor) formulation. PDGF is one of the signaling factors involved in the body’s natural renewal processes, and this professional-grade option is designed to support the scalp and follicles with an added concentration of growth factors. Your provider can discuss whether the natural or advanced approach, or a combination, best fits your goals.
Many people exploring early-stage thinning or shedding are curious about non-surgical options before considering surgery. These treatments may be worth discussing if you’re noticing gradual thinning and still have active follicles. They are not suitable for every type of hair loss. Certain conditions, such as scarring alopecia or areas where follicles are no longer active, are better evaluated for other approaches, including surgical options. A consultation is the best way to know what’s appropriate for you.
We numb the area with a topical cream, draw your blood (for PRF), prepare your treatment, and perform a series of small injections into the scalp, followed by a soothing post-care serum. Mild redness, swelling, tenderness, or a short-lived headache afterward are common and typically brief. Most people return to their normal routine quickly.
Because hair grows in cycles, these treatments are done as a series, and many patients pair them with supportive supplements like Xtresse and a consistent scalp-care routine.
PRF and PDGF+ for hair are considered experimental (investigational) treatments. Some patients see encouraging improvements in hair quality and density, but results vary and can’t be guaranteed. We’ll always give you an honest picture at your consultation.
Because hair grows in cycles, a series is recommended, commonly around three monthly sessions to start, sometimes followed by additional sessions, then periodic maintenance. Your provider tailors the plan to you.
When patients do respond, changes in hair quality are most often noticed gradually over several months, sometimes up to six months. Everyone’s response is different.
No treatment for hair thinning is permanent, and we shed and regrow hair naturally over time. Ongoing maintenance sessions and supportive care (like Xtresse) can help patients sustain their results.
PRF uses your own blood, nothing added. PDGF+ uses a concentrated, professional-grade growth-factor formulation. Both aim to support the scalp and follicles; your provider helps you choose.
A surgical transplant relocates follicles and can be more costly with more downtime. PRF and PDGF+ are non-surgical, lower-downtime options that some patients explore earlier in their journey, though they aren’t a substitute for surgery when that’s what’s needed.
Pricing varies by plan, a single session commonly ranges from about $850–$1,250. We offer treatment packages/series, monthly specials, and complimentary consultations to help you save. Ask us for current options.
