Hair Loss Treatment in Austin, TX

Hair loss treatment in Austin: PRP vs PRF vs PRFM

All three come from your own blood, but they are processed differently and release growth factors on different timelines.

• PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): Spun at a higher speed to separate platelets in a liquid form. It releases growth factors quickly over the first 24 to 48 hours and is often used with microneedling or injections for quick stimulation.
• PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin): Spun more gently so it keeps more white blood cells and stem cells. It forms a soft fibrin matrix that releases growth factors slowly over 7 to 10 days for longer-lasting regeneration.
• PRFM (Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix): PRP that has been activated into a gel. It behaves like a natural, temporary filler and is popular for under-eye hollows and areas where a little volume plus regeneration is desired.

At your consultation we will help you decide which option is best based on whether your priority is scalp hair loss, skin quality, or under-eye volume.

PRF and PRFM for under-eye circles and hollows

For under-eye circles and hollows, PRF and PRFM usually outperform standard PRP.

The fibrin matrix in PRF and PRFM acts like a soft scaffold under the skin, giving a subtle filling effect while slowly releasing growth factors that brighten and thicken the delicate under-eye tissue. PRP is more liquid and tends to disperse too quickly to provide the same level of support in hollow areas.

If you are nervous about traditional filler in the tear troughs, PRF or PRFM can be a more natural-feeling alternative.

Exosomes as a needle-free alternative to PRP

Yes. One of the major benefits of ASCE+ Exosomes is that they do not require a blood draw. They are lab-derived, purified messenger particles from stem cells that are applied or injected without processing your own blood.

Exosomes can be used on their own or layered after microneedling or injections to amplify results. Because they are highly concentrated and consistent, many providers consider them significantly more potent than standard PRP.

If blood draws make you anxious, exosome-based treatments may be the best starting point for your hair or skin regeneration plan.

Hair Restoration in Austin: typical treatment costs

In Austin, pricing depends on how intensive the treatment is and whether we are using PRP, PRF, exosomes, HydraScalp Keravive, or a combination.

• HydraScalp Keravive: Usually the entry point, often packaged in a short series to reset scalp health.
• PRP or PRF injections: Typically priced per session and fall in the mid range for hair loss treatment.
• Exosome injections: The most advanced and usually the highest investment per visit because of their potency.

Many Austin clinics, including ours, recommend stacking treatments, such as Keravive to cleanse the scalp followed by PRP, PRF, or exosomes for stimulation. Exact pricing for your plan is always reviewed in detail at your consultation before you begin.

Scalp-focused hair loss treatment in Austin with HydraScalp Keravive

Keravive is not a stand-alone hair regrowth drug. Instead, it creates the healthiest possible environment for your follicles.

The treatment deeply cleanses the scalp, removes product buildup and excess oil, and infuses nourishing ingredients into the follicles. This can reduce itching, flaking, and clogging that choke off fragile hairs, especially in clients with seborrheic dermatitis or heavy styling product use.

For true hair density changes, Keravive is usually combined with PRP, PRF, or exosomes so you get both scalp detox and strong growth signals.

Downtime after PRP hair restoration Austin and other treatments

Downtime varies by treatment and whether we are working on the face, scalp, or both.

• PRP or PRF microneedling: The skin may look red or sunburned for 24 hours. You should avoid makeup until the next day.
• PRP or exosome scalp injections: You may feel tenderness or notice small bumps for a short time, but most clients can resume normal activities the same day.
• Exosomes after microneedling: Often shorten redness to just a few hours because of their strong anti-inflammatory effect.
• HydraScalp Keravive: Has essentially no downtime. The roots are damp from the treatment, but you can go about your day immediately.

We will always review what to expect and how to plan your schedule so you are comfortable with your appearance after each visit.

Session plans for hair loss treatment in Austin

Hair restoration is a series, not a single visit. The exact number of treatments depends on how advanced your shedding or thinning is and which modalities we are using.

• PRP, PRF, or exosome hair series: Commonly 3 to 4 monthly sessions to kick-start improvement, followed by maintenance visits a few times per year.
• Under-eye PRF or PRFM: Often 2 to 3 sessions spaced about 6 weeks apart for best brightening and thickening.
• HydraScalp Keravive: Frequently done in a series of 3 for an initial reset, then repeated seasonally or before and after hair transplant procedures.

Your provider will map out a realistic timeline so you know when you can expect to start seeing visible changes.

PRFM as a natural alternative to traditional fillers

PRFM is often considered a safer-feeling option for the tear troughs because it is made from your own blood rather than a synthetic gel. That means your body is more likely to accept it and naturally reabsorb it over time.

While any injectable carries some risk, PRFM is less likely to cause issues such as the Tyndall effect (a blue shadow under the eyes) that can occur when hyaluronic acid fillers are placed too superficially. Many clients choose PRFM specifically because they are anxious about rare complications from traditional fillers.

During your consultation, we will review your medical history, risk tolerance, and aesthetic goals before recommending PRFM, filler, or a combination approach.
