I-PRF therapy for hair loss
I-PRF is a treatment based on an injectable fibrin preparation made from your own blood. The doctor decides whether it is suitable for you and what result to expect based on the cause of your hair loss and your test results.

I-PRF therapy for hair loss
I-PRF therapy for treating hair loss
I-PRF therapy (formerly known as PRF therapy), an advanced version of PRP therapy, can be used with high efficacy for both male and female hair loss, and in most cases the treatment has been shown to stop hair loss, with significant results expected both in strengthening the hair and in reactivating dormant follicles. Combined with a hair transplant, it not only benefits the existing hairs but also plays an important role in the regeneration of the freshly transplanted grafts.
With I-PRF therapy, new hairs can regenerate faster and more healthily from the transplanted grafts. PRF is also “rich” in fibrin and platelets, while at the same time being free of heparin and any other additives.
The fibrin in PRF contains growth factors such as PDGF, TGFb, IGF and VEGF, and promotes the healing of the surface soft tissues and bone tissue, bringing about good neo-angiogenesis and faster wound healing. A further advantage is that, owing to the presence of fibrin, it produces a gradual release of growth factors, in contrast to the previously used PRP therapy.
I-PRF therapy was developed by Dr. Joseph Choukroun back in 2001, and the procedure has spread steadily ever since as part of surgical interventions. The essence of the I-PRF method is that a plasma is separated from the patient's blood which, when delivered to the treatment site, supports wound healing and tissue regeneration, and can also be used as a bone grafting procedure.

Benefits of I-PRF treatment
- ✓It is 100% biocompatible and therefore safe (it contains your own tissue); as a result, the body regenerates and rebuilds itself from its own cells rather than from foreign material.
- ✓It has strong bacteriostatic properties and protects against bacteria and viruses. This helps to prevent unwanted inflammation, wound infection and the unpleasant symptoms that come with them. As a result, recovery is quick and trouble-free.
- ✓It can be prepared simply and quickly at the same time as the surgical procedure, so regeneration can start immediately on the treated area.
- ✓It speeds up tissue regeneration and wound healing.
- ✓It promotes the healing of surface tissues and bone tissue and protects the healing process by speeding up recovery.
- ✓It forms a matrix that gives shape to the final tissue. Small blood vessels grow into it and begin forming the final tissue. It promotes the body's self-regeneration
- ✓It has a pain-relieving effect: the pain almost completely disappears after the first day.
- ✓No antibiotics are needed after the procedure, as the fibrin clot rich in white blood cells reduces the risk of infection.
- ✓The fibrin clot keeps the wound moist and promotes the formation of blood vessels (angiogenesis), which is very important for good wound healing and ossification.
- ✓The procedure can also be used for patients taking blood thinners, but in that case the fibrin clot forms a few minutes more slowly.
How the I-PRF procedure works
I-PRF is made from your own blood, without additives. The steps of the treatment:
1
Blood draw
The treatment begins with a blood draw. We do not add any anticoagulant or other additive to the sample.
2
Centrifugation
The sample is centrifuged once in a special device, without any further modification.
3
Separation of the layers
Three layers separate: the red blood cells at the bottom, the platelet-poor plasma at the top, and the platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in between.
4
Applying the I-PRF
We use the intermediate layer, which is rich in growth factors. The platelets and white blood cells embedded in the fibrin matrix remain active for longer, thereby supporting regeneration.

Yes, combined with a hair transplant, it has a beneficial effect on both the existing hairs and the regeneration of the freshly transplanted grafts, so the new hairs regenerate faster and more healthily.
No antibiotics are required after the procedure, as PRF has natural bacteriostatic properties.
PRF has a pain-relieving effect; the pain almost completely disappears after the first day.
