Thinning hair, a widening part, or a receding hairline can chip away at your confidence every time you look in the mirror. By the time most people notice shedding in the shower or on their pillow, hair follicles may have already been struggling for months. The good news is that your body holds the natural building blocks needed to wake those follicles back up — and a quick, in-office treatment can put them to work.
At ION Aesthetics and Medicine in NYC, Jafrin Alamgir, FNP-BC, uses advanced regenerative techniques like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) to help clients regrow stronger, healthier hair without surgery or downtime. As Director of Clinical Training and Lead Injector, Jafrin brings cardio-thoracic medical expertise and elite aesthetic training to every hair restoration treatment she performs.
What Is PRP/PRF for Hair Restoration?
Platelet-rich plasma and platelet-rich fibrin are injectable therapies made from your own blood. After a small blood draw, the sample is spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the growth factors, platelets, and (with PRF) stem cells and white blood cells that promote healing and tissue regeneration.
When injected into the scalp, these powerful components stimulate dormant hair follicles, improve blood flow, and encourage the growth of thicker, denser hair. PRF is often considered the next generation of PRP because it releases growth factors more slowly and contains a higher concentration of regenerative cells.
Benefits of PRP/PRF Hair Restoration
- Uses your own biological material — no synthetic ingredients
- Reduces shedding and strengthens existing hair
- Stimulates new growth in thinning areas
- Improves scalp health and follicle quality
- Minimal downtime and natural-looking results
- Safe for all skin tones and hair textures
Who Is a Good Candidate?
PRP/PRF works best for people in the early to moderate stages of hair loss, including androgenetic alopecia, postpartum shedding, and stress-related thinning. Both women and men can benefit. During your consultation, Jafrin will review your medical history, evaluate your scalp, and determine if this treatment is the right fit for your goals.
What to Expect During Treatment
A typical session takes about 45 to 60 minutes. After a simple blood draw and processing, the scalp is numbed for comfort. The concentrated PRP or PRF is then carefully injected into targeted areas of thinning. Most clients describe the experience as quick and very tolerable.
For optimal results, an initial series of three to four treatments spaced four to six weeks apart is generally recommended, with maintenance sessions once or twice per year.
