PRP and PRF Hair Restoration in Indianapolis

Both PRP and PRF are prepared from the patient’s own blood and contain platelets and growth factors. PRF also contains a fibrin matrix and is generally processed without an anticoagulant, allowing growth factors to be released more gradually. We offer both treatments but generally recommend PRF for suitable patients. Read our complete PRP versus PRF comparison for more information.

At MD Wellness Center and Med Spa, we prefer PRF because it is 100% natural and additive-free. The “slow-release” nature of the fibrin matrix means your dormant hair follicles receive a steady supply of healing nutrients for a longer period. This results in better improvement in hair density, texture, and scalp health compared to traditional methods.

Hair loss can have multiple causes, including genetics, hormones, nutritional deficiencies, stress, medications, and underlying medical conditions. A comprehensive evaluation helps determine whether PRF Hair Restoration may be appropriate and whether additional treatments should be considered.

Yes. Rapid weight loss, significant calorie restriction, bariatric surgery, and changes associated with GLP-1 medications may temporarily increase hair shedding. A consultation can help determine whether these factors may be contributing to hair loss.

We believe in transparent, “no-insurance-needed” pricing for our Indy, Carmel, and Fishers patients:

• Single PRF Treatment: Starts at $749.
• Series of 3 Treatments: Typically ranges between $1,799 and $1,999.
• Advanced Options: We offer several combination treatment plans for patients looking for a comprehensive approach. We offer a complimentary consultation to help
  determine which option is best for your goals and hair-loss pattern/stage.

Most patients describe the sensation as a mild pinching or pressure. To ensure your comfort, we can apply a topical numbing cream to the scalp before the injections. There is zero downtime. And you can return to your normal routine in Indianapolis immediately. You may experience some mild tenderness or swelling for 24–48 hours, but this is a sign that the regenerative process is working!

Hair restoration is a biological process that follows your natural growth cycle. Most patients
begin to see a reduction in hair shedding after their first or second session. Visible “baby hairs” and increased density typically appear between 3 and 6 months. For optimal results, we generally recommend a series of three treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart.

Absolutely. Dr. Kesa often combines PRF with Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) or specialized topical products. Some patients think of PRF as providing growth factors (like ‘fertilizer’) while LLLT may support the scalp environment (like ‘sunlight’). This dual approach is most popular for treating post-partum thinning and early-stage pattern baldness.
