Hair Restoration in Coeur d’Alene

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) hair restoration is a state-of-the-art, nonsurgical treatment that promotes natural hair regrowth by using your body’s self-healing abilities. This procedure involves drawing a small amount of your blood, which we then process to isolate platelets, growth factors, and white blood cells.

Unlike other hair restoration treatments like platelet-rich plasma (PRP), PRF contains a fibrin matrix that sustains the release of growth factors over time, enhancing its regenerative benefits. During treatment, your provider carefully injects PRF into areas of thinning or receding hair. These growth factors stimulate dormant hair follicles, improve blood circulation, and promote healthier, thicker hair over several months.

Absolutely you can! For hair restoration in Coeur d’Alene, we offer many treatments that combine well with PRF.

• Microneedling: When paired with PRF, microneedling creates micro-injuries in the scalp, which allows a topical solution of PRF to penetrate deeper into the follicles. This increases the regenerative properties and encourages healthier hair growth.
• Low-level laser light therapy (LLLT): LLLT uses light energy to stimulate blood flow and cellular activity in the scalp—complementing PRF’s ability to rejuvenate hair follicles and promote healthier, thicker hair regrowth.

These combination therapies provide a synergistic effect, boosting the overall effectiveness of PRF treatment. Your NorthLife provider will help you understand these different options and determine the best course of action for you.

To prepare for your hair restoration in Coeur d’Alene, we have some recommended pre-care guidelines that, if followed, will ensure you get the most out of treatment.

• Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements for at least 1 week prior to treatment. These types of medications can increase the risk of bruising and affect how the procedure works.
• Stay properly hydrated before your appointment by drinking between 80 and 120 ounces of water (depending on body weight) for at least 3 days before treatment.
• Steer clear of alcohol and caffeine for 24 hours before your hair restoration treatment because they can affect your circulation and hydration levels.
• Arrive with a clean scalp by washing your hair the night before or the morning of your appointment, and do not use any product in your hair.

With proper preparation, you will help your provider deliver the best results and reduce any chances of complications. Don’t hesitate to ask our staff any questions you think of.

Similarly to our pre-care guidelines, we have essential recommendations for maximizing your hair restoration results.

• Be gentle with your scalp in the first 48 hours after treatment.
• Avoid washing your hair or engaging in activities that may induce excessive sweating. This will allow the treated area to heal properly, and it ensures the PRF has the best chance to stimulate hair regrowth.
• Use products our specialists recommend. This may include specific shampoos, conditioners, or scalp treatments. We select these products carefully because they can support hair growth and scalp health.
• Protect your scalp from direct sunlight by wearing hats or applying a gentle, non-irritating sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher).
• Maintain proper nutrition and hydration. Try to incorporate hair-friendly nutrients like vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acids, and protein. Staying properly hydrated supports your body’s healing process.

By following our pre-care and post-care guidelines, you will be optimizing your PRF treatment results and supporting healthier hair growth.
