PRF Injections and Microneedling With anteAGE Hair Solutions
Egrari Non-Invasive Center provides hair restoration in Bellevue through non-surgical treatments that address thinning hair by stimulating dormant follicles, with minimal downtime and no incisions.
Dr. Sepehr Egrari, MD, FACS, established Egrari Non-Invasive Center (ENIC) as a natural extension of more than 25 years of surgical practice. He is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Surgery, completed fellowship training at UC Davis Medical Center, and serves on the active staff at Overlake Hospital Medical Center. Hair thinning affects confidence, and many patients want a treatment that fits a busy schedule. Dr. Egrari selects every ENIC treatment based on demonstrated safety, efficacy, and clinical value. PRF injections and anteAGE microneedling were added to the hair restoration menu for those reasons.
PRF hair restoration is a treatment in which platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), prepared from a small sample of your own blood, is injected into the scalp to support hair follicles.
According to a 2024 systematic review in Cureus, PRF is derived from the patient's own blood and is believed to promote healing and tissue regeneration through its growth factors and cytokines.
Key features of PRF hair restoration include:
The review examined 7 studies and 130 patients. Three alopecia studies reported noticeable improvement in hair density and growth, though the authors note that stronger clinical evidence is still needed.
Microneedling with anteAGE Hair Solutions is a scalp treatment that pairs tiny, controlled microchannels with a topical growth-factor serum. The needling creates pathways in the scalp, and the serum is applied during and after the procedure to reach the follicles.
According to the manufacturer, anteAGE MD Hair Growth Factor Solution contains human bone marrow stem cell conditioned media and twelve bio-identical growth factors and cytokines. It is formulated to target the Wnt-1a pathway, which the maker describes as central to hair follicle growth. The product is made by AnteAGE, a brand of Cellese.
You may be a candidate for PRF injections or anteAGE microneedling if you have thinning hair and prefer a non-surgical approach. Androgenetic alopecia, the most common form of hair loss, affects up to 80% of men and 50% of women over a lifetime, according to a 2017 review in Skin Appendage Disorders. Good candidates often:
Hair loss has many causes, so Dr. Egrari evaluates your scalp and history before recommending a plan. A thorough evaluation also helps identify anyone who should not receive these treatments.
Your first visit includes a scalp assessment and a conversation about your goals and hair history. Dr. Egrari then outlines a personalized plan, including which treatment or combination is best for you and how many sessions are recommended. Cost depends on the plan, and the ENIC team reviews pricing with you during your consultation.
Treatment steps vary by plan, but a visit generally follows this sequence:
Temporary redness, tenderness, or mild swelling can occur after treatment, and most patients resume normal activities with little downtime. Hair grows in cycles, so changes appear gradually rather than overnight. In the manufacturer's study, hair growth was assessed at 12 and 24 weeks. Dr. Egrari will set your schedule and follow your progress.

Does Hair Restoration With PRF and anteAGE Hurt?
Most patients describe the experience as tolerable. You may feel brief pinching from the blood draw and injections, and some sensitivity during scalp microneedling. Most ENIC treatments require no anesthesia, and Dr. Egrari's team can discuss comfort options before your session. In the manufacturer's study, a topical numbing cream was applied for 30 minutes before in-office scalp microneedling.
Will My Hair Loss Return If I Stop Treatment?
It may. Androgenetic alopecia is a progressive condition, and a 2017 review in Skin Appendage Disorders notes that there is no cure. Because these treatments aim to support follicles rather than change the underlying cause of hair loss, Dr. Egrari may recommend periodic maintenance sessions to help preserve your results.
How Is This Different From a Hair Transplant?
A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that moves hair follicles from one area of the scalp to another. PRF injections and anteAGE microneedling do not move any hair. They are non-surgical treatments intended to stimulate follicles you still have, and Dr. Egrari can tell you during your assessment whether the thinning areas are likely to respond.
When Can I Wash, Style, or Color My Hair After Treatment?
Timing depends on your treatment plan. The ENIC team provides detailed aftercare guidance, including when to resume washing, styling, and coloring, and is available to answer questions throughout your results timeline.
