Frequently Asked Questions

How PRF Works

The injectable treatment uses healing components within your own blood, making it a natural way to promote hair growth. The process begins with a blood draw. We then spin your in a centrifuge to separate platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) from the other components in your blood.

We’re then left with a concentrated solution of growth factors, which are beneficial for your body’s healing processes. We inject the solution into specific areas of the scalp, stimulating dormant hair follicles and encouraging them to produce new, healthy hair.

Why Should You Choose PRF for Hair Loss?

Not only is PRF hair restoration a minimally invasive, natural treatment for hair loss—it offers long-lasting results with minimal downtime. Because it uses your body’s own resources, it can also reduce the risk of adverse reactions. It is a powerful and effective way to enhance hair density and quality over time, so you can look great and feel confident.

Benefits Overview

  • Nonsurgical
  • Minimally invasive
  • Natural
  • Long-lasting results
  • Customizable treatment

Instructions for Care

There are a few simple steps you can take to ensure the best results from your treatment with PRF in Des Moines. We recommend avoiding blood thinners, excessive alcohol, and certain medications in the week leading up to your appointment. It is also essential that you stay hydrated and eat a light meal before your session.

After your treatment, you may experience mild redness or swelling at the injection sites—this is completely normal and should resolve quickly. For the next few days, you should avoid strenuous physical activities, excessive heat, and direct sun exposure.

Following these aftercare guidelines and scheduling regular maintenance appointments can help maximize your results and ensure your results are satisfactory. Our team is available to answer any of your questions and provide continuous support throughout the process.
