PRF stands for “platelet-rich fibrin.” Unlike other platelet-rich concentrates derived from blood, PRF combines blood platelets with leukocytes, cytokines, and circulating stem cells. The power behind PRF is in its ability to harness your body’s stem cells to trigger tissue regeneration and hair regrowth.
What It Treats
Our Hair Restoration treatment at Lexington Prime helps women and men improve the thickness and amount of hair on their heads. Using platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) derived from your own blood, your Lexington Prime injector will inject the PRF into specific points in the scalp to promote regrowth in dormant follicles and thicker growth in active follicles.

Empower Your Scalp With Hair Restoration in Lexington, KY
Wouldn’t it be nice to look in the mirror and see that head of hair like you once had? It’s not an impossible feat. With help from Lexington Prime, our hair restoration techniques using platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) injections could help you grow stronger, thicker hair while reactivating dormant hair follicles for even more growth.
Hair Restoration for Thicker, More Luxuriant Growth
Nourishing the Hair You Have
When PRF is injected into your scalp, these growth factors can stimulate your active hair follicles, revitalizing their function, while promoting increased blood flow and collagen production. This enhanced circulation nourishes these more active follicles, encouraging them to grow healthier and thicker hair that's less prone to breakage and falling out.

Waking Up Dormant Follicles
Platelet-rich fibrin can awaken dormant hair follicles through its rich concentration of growth factors. PRF's regenerative properties help create a healthy environment for dormant hair follicles to transition from a resting phase to an active growth phase. This causes inactive hair follicles to "wake up" and begin new growth, contributing to an even fuller head of hair.
What to Expect
The Hair Restoration Process
Consultation
The first step on your aesthetic journey is a consultation with a Lexington Prime professional provider. During this positive discussion, you can talk openly and honestly about your concerns and goals. We’ll examine your scalp, and if our hair restoration technique is your best bet for success, we’ll schedule your treatment.
Treatment
When you come in for your hair restoration in Lexington, KY, we’ll first draw some of your blood. To extract the PRF, we put that blood through a centrifuge to separate the platelets, leukocytes, cytokines, and growth factors. This concentrate is then applied to the scalp using fine needles. The whole procedure takes about an hour to do.
Aftercare
One of the nice things about hair restoration: there isn’t really any aftercare! You may experience some soreness, bruising, and/or slight swelling at the injection sites, but this will quickly diminish. We recommend waiting 24 hours before washing your hair. Avoid ice packs on your scalp, because the cold can affect the PRF’s function.
Maintenance
Because PRF promotes your own body’s healing abilities, it will take some time for the process to deliver optimal results. Within about 3 months you should see darker, denser hair appearing, with final results visible within 6 to 12 months. We recommend touch-up treatments every 6 to 12 months for best results.

Hair Restoration FAQs
Your overall health going into treatment will affect the results of your PRF hair restoration in Lexington, KY. To best prepare for your treatment and optimal outcomes, we recommend that for at least two weeks prior to your PRF hair restoration you should:
- Get plenty of quality rest
- Stay fully hydrated
- Eat a balanced and nutritious diet
You’ll need to abstain from anticoagulants for 72 hours preceding the treatment, and you should wash your hair on the day of your treatment before your arrival so that your scalp is clean.
We recommend 3 to 4 treatments, spread 1 month apart, to achieve optimal results. After your 3rd treatment, we’ll monitor the development of results to see if a 4th treatment will be necessary. After that, touch-up treatments should be done every 6 to 12 months to ensure your positive results continue.
Yes, PRF hair restoration treatments are safe. Because the PRF concentrate is made from components already present in your body, there is little to no risk of allergic reaction. The treatments are nonsurgical, minimally invasive, and, with the right support and aftercare, quite effective!
