No surgery, no downtime, no synthetic chemicals — just your body’s own healing power, put to work for your hair.
Hair loss is one of those things that tends to creep up quietly. A little more in the brush, a slightly wider part, a hairline that seems to have shifted — and before you know it, it’s something you’re thinking about every time you look in the mirror. It affects men and women alike, and for most people, the options feel either too extreme (surgery) or too underwhelming (over-the-counter shampoos that promise everything and deliver little).
There’s a middle ground — and it’s backed by real science. At Aesthetics 360 Medspa in Wayne, PA, we offer PRF Hair Restoration using a protocol that combines ezGEL PRF with SkinPen microneedling — a natural, non-surgical approach to stimulating hair regrowth that works with your body, not against it.
What Is PRF — and How Is It Different from PRP?
You may have heard of PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) — it’s been used in hair restoration and sports medicine for years. PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is the next evolution of that technology, and in several important ways, it outperforms its predecessor.
Both are derived from your own blood. A small sample is drawn, then spun in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the growth factors. The difference is in what you get at the end:
Older technology - PRP
- Contains platelets & plasma
- Processed with anticoagulants
- Faster release of growth factors
- Results may fade sooner
Next generation - PRF
- Contains platelets, fibrin & stem cells
- 100% natural — no additives
- Slower, sustained growth factor release
- Longer-lasting regenerative effect
PRF’s fibrin matrix acts like a slow-release scaffold — it holds growth factors in place and delivers them to the scalp over time, giving hair follicles a longer window to respond and regenerate. You can read more about the science behind PRF and hair loss at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which has published peer-reviewed research on PRF’s effectiveness for androgenetic alopecia.
Why We Use ezGEL PRF
Our protocol
ezGEL PRF + SkinPen Microneedling
ezGEL is a specific form of PRF that takes the technology one step further. After processing, the PRF is heated and cooled to form a gel-like consistency — no synthetic additives, no fillers, just concentrated growth factors in a biocompatible scaffold that adheres directly to the scalp.
Combined with SkinPen microneedling, the treatment becomes significantly more effective. The SkinPen creates precise micro-channels in the scalp that allow the ezGEL PRF to penetrate deeper into the tissue — directly reaching the hair follicles where stimulation is needed most.
Who Is PRF Hair Restoration For?
PRF hair restoration is suitable for both men and women experiencing a range of hair loss conditions, including:
- Androgenetic alopecia — the most common form of hair loss in both men and women, also known as male or female pattern baldness
- Thinning hair — diffuse hair loss across the scalp without a defined pattern
- Postpartum hair loss — common in women following pregnancy
- Stress-related shedding — also known as telogen effluvium, triggered by physical or emotional stress
- Early-stage hair loss — PRF works best when follicles are still active; the earlier you start, the better the outcome
It’s worth noting that PRF is not a replacement for hair transplant surgery in cases of advanced or complete hair loss. But for clients in the early to moderate stages, it can significantly slow progression, improve density, and in many cases stimulate meaningful regrowth — without a single incision.
What Does a Treatment Session Look Like?
Here’s what to expect when you come in for a PRF hair restoration session at Aesthetics 360:
- Consultation & scalp assessment — We evaluate the pattern, density, and stage of your hair loss to confirm PRF is the right fit for your goals.
- Blood draw — A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm — similar to a routine lab draw — and placed in a centrifuge to isolate your PRF.
- ezGEL preparation — The PRF is processed into ezGEL form, concentrating your growth factors into a biocompatible, gel-like consistency ready for application.
- SkinPen microneedling — The SkinPen creates micro-channels across the scalp to maximize absorption and stimulate the follicles directly.
- ezGEL application — The PRF gel is applied to the treated scalp, penetrating the micro-channels and delivering growth factors exactly where they’re needed.
Most sessions take about 60–90 minutes. There’s no significant downtime — some mild scalp tenderness and redness for 24–48 hours is normal. Most clients return to their regular routine the same day.
How Many Sessions Will You Need?
Results from PRF hair restoration are progressive, not instant. Most clients begin a series of 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 6–12 months. Hair follicles respond gradually — you may start noticing reduced shedding after the first or second session, with visible density improvements developing over 3–6 months.

PRF vs. Hair Transplant — How Do They Compare?
Non-surgical PRF Hair Restoration
- No surgery or incisions
- Uses your own biology
- Minimal downtime
- Best for early–moderate loss
- Ongoing maintenance
- More accessible cost
Surgical Hair Transplant
- Surgical procedure
- Donor hair required
- Recovery time needed
- Better for advanced loss
- Typically one-time
- Significantly higher cost
Your Hair Loss Doesn't Have to Keep Going Unchecked
The hardest part for most people is simply starting. Hair loss can feel like something you just have to accept — but for the right candidate, PRF hair restoration offers a real, science-based option that works with your body’s own regenerative capacity. No foreign substances, no surgery, no extended recovery.
The scars don’t have to define the story. Neither does the thinning.
