Platelet rich Fibrin Therapy for Hair Loss after pregnancy in Lahore Pakistan
It is quite normal for new moms to experience hair loss after having a baby. A range of factors can cause female hair loss, and for a new mom, uncontrollable hormones, stress, and apparent changes to their body can be triggers for this condition. For most women, their hair is a security blanket. When it is falling out, it can be a stressful situation which doesn’t help anything. In years past, women, like men, only had topical options like Rogaine or more invasive options like hair transplantation surgery. Today, both women and men have a new, less invasive option. PRP or platelet-rich plasma therapy has proven to be a new powerhouse with hair regrowth as patients are seeing the results.
We are proud to offer this innovative new treatment to patients. If you are a new mom and worried about continued hair loss after having a baby, here is a look at how Platelet rich Fibrin therapy can help.
Why am I losing my hair after having a baby?
It is not uncommon for new moms to experience hair loss after childbirth. Due to regular changes in hormones, pregnancy can stimulate a more-than-usual hair growth pattern. Most pregnant women enjoy thicker hair during this timeframe, while fewer hair follicles are in the resting phase or “shedding.” With the hormonal changes that accompany childbirth, a large number of hair follicles will enter into this phase, causing new moms to experience a higher-than-average amount of hair loss.
When does postpartum hair loss stop?
The onset of hair loss or shedding usually starts 1-6 months after childbirth. On average, postpartum hair loss begins around three months. Everyone’s hair has a growth phase or pattern. When women become pregnant, it causes hair to be stimulated, so the growth phase is in full effect, leaving most follicles to never enter into the resting phase for nine months. After having a baby, a mom’s hair cycles back into its regular pattern. Most women deal with this temporary issue and return to their usual hair growth cycle in about 6-12 months. After a year, if your postpartum hair loss is not slowing down, then see a medical professional.
What can I do about my postpartum hair loss?
Platelet rich Fibrin for hair loss has proven effective for both men and women. Platelet rich Fibrin therapy treatments have proven effective in combating male-pattern and female-pattern hair loss. Now moms are turning to this option to get their hair back after having children. During pregnancy, estrogen plays a role in protecting hair loss. When those levels balance out after childbirth, resting hair begins to shed. Platelet rich Fibrin therapy has been a recent advancement in restoring hair growth while offering patients a less invasive option to get remarkable results.
How does it work?
Platelet rich Fibrin (PRF) is a medical treatment that doctors that been using for decades to accelerate healing in various places of the body, particularly for athletes. Studies have now proven that PRF therapy can even restore hair growth. Our blood carries red blood cells and plasma. Plasma contains white blood cells and platelets, which are rich in growth factors that can stimulate not only joints and ligaments to heal faster, but also create activity in hair follicles. The use of PRF to promote new hair growth has been gaining popularity in the last few years and doesn’t seem to be slowing down as patients see the results.

PRF therapy is a minimally invasive procedure that generally takes 60-90 minutes. A patient’s blood sample is taken and placed in a special centrifuge that separates the platelets from the rest of the components. The PRF is then injected back into a patient’s scalp into the areas that are thinning. In some cases, microneedling will be done before treatment to create micro-channels in the scalp so the PRF injection can go deeper.
PRF therapy has proven effective for all patients dealing with hair loss. From patients dealing with alopecia areata, pattern baldness, thinning eyebrows, or postpartum hair loss, PRF therapy has provided excellent regrowth results.
So we have even taken PRP one step further for patients By combining bioactive proteins and a powerful solution of growth factors to PRP treatments, patients can enjoy even thicker, healthier hair.
Moms experiencing an abnormal amount of hair loss are good candidates for PRF treatments. With no downtime needed, busy moms have no limitations to return to their daily routine. Some swelling, mild tenderness, and redness may occur in the treated areas but will only last about 24-48 hours. Results will vary by patient, but most women generally see new hair growth in about 4-6 months after the first PRF treatment, which steadily improves up to a full year.
