If you’ve started noticing more hair in the sink than on your head, you’re not alone—and you’re not out of options.
As the owner and lead injector at Grace Aesthetics in Cool Springs, I’ve seen firsthand how something as personal as hair loss can affect a person’s confidence, especially for men. And while the stigma around medical aesthetics is slowly shifting, hair loss is still something many people, especially men, struggle to talk about. My job is to make sure you don’t have to suffer in silence–or settle for results that don’t look or feel natural.
That’s where PRF Hair Restoration comes in.
PRF stands for platelet-rich fibrin, and it’s a next-generation regenerative treatment that uses your body’s own healing properties to restore hair density and stimulate new growth. If you’ve heard of PRP (platelet-rich plasma), you’re on the right track. PRF is a more advanced version of that same concept, with higher concentrations of platelets, growth factors, and stem cells.
How It Works
We start with a simple blood draw, just like you’d get during a routine physical. That blood is then spun in a specialized centrifuge to separate out the fibrin-rich layer. What we’re left with is a golden, gel-like substance full of concentrated growth factors–your body’s own natural fertilizer, if you will. Next, I, or one of our talented injectors—Tori Crook, RN, Kristin Osmon, RN, or Dan Ayers, PA—will carefully inject that PRF into the areas of the scalp where you’re experiencing thinning or hair loss.
Over time, those injections help wake up dormant hair follicles, extend the growth cycle of your hair, and even improve the quality of the hair that’s already there. We’re not transplanting anything or using synthetic materials–just your own body’s regenerative power, redirected with intention.
What I love most about PRF is that it’s a treatment that actually respects the body’s natural timeline. This isn’t a quick fix–it’s a slow, steady build toward stronger, thicker hair. Most patients begin with a series of three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart, with maintenance sessions every six months to maintain and build on results.
While PRF Hair Restoration is suitable for both men and women, this month’s issue of YOUR Williamson is all about the guys–so let’s talk about why it’s especially impactful for men. I treat men at all stages of hair loss, but the best results are often seen in those who are starting to notice thinning at the crown, receding at the temples, or general loss of density. We can’t bring back what’s completely gone, but we can absolutely reinforce what you still have, stimulate new growth, and delay or even prevent future loss.
There’s little to no downtime with PRF treatments. The procedure is quick and well-tolerated (we use numbing and distraction techniques to keep you comfortable), and you can get back to your normal routine the same day. Results begin to show within a few months and continue to improve over time, with the most dramatic difference seen around the six-month mark.
One of my male patients told me recently, “It’s not that I want to look younger—I just want to look like myself again.” That really stuck with me. PRF Hair Restoration isn’t about dramatic change. It’s about helping you feel like you again, just with a little more strength and density where you’ve lost it.
So, whether you’re newly noticing hair changes or just ready to take control, PRF Hair Restoration is a powerful option with lasting results. If you’re ready to take the first step, let’s talk. You’ll be amazed at what your body can do when given the right support.
