PRP and PRF therapy for hair restoration in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL at Dermagnify uses ezPRF and ezGEL, the next generation of natural hair restoration: a superior, 100% autologous treatment that is more effective than traditional PRP.
At Dermagnify, Medical, Surgical and Cosmetic Dermatology in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL, Dr. Mark A. Cappel, MD, is proud to offer ezPRF® and ezGEL® for hair restoration to patients in Ponte Vedra Beach, Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and throughout Northeast Florida.
Hair loss and thinning are common concerns that affect millions of men and women, often leading to a significant loss of confidence and self-esteem. While many treatments exist, patients are increasingly seeking natural, regenerative solutions that harness the body's own healing power to restore hair growth.
As a double board-certified dermatologist and dermatopathologist, Dr. Cappel, MD, is an expert in the science of hair loss and is dedicated to providing the most advanced, clinically proven treatments. Your journey to thicker, fuller hair begins with the most powerful natural solution available.
Higher concentration of platelets, leukocytes, and stem cells with a slow-release fibrin matrix.
ezPRF® (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is a 100% natural, next-generation regenerative treatment that uses your own blood to create a powerful concentrate of growth factors for hair restoration. Unlike traditional PRP, ezPRF® is created using a slower, lower-force centrifugation process that preserves a higher concentration of platelets, leukocytes (white blood cells), and mesenchymal stem cells within a fibrin matrix. This fibrin matrix acts as a scaffold, allowing for a slow, sustained release of growth factors over 7-10 days, providing a much more powerful and long-lasting stimulus for hair follicle regeneration.
ezGEL® is a further innovation that transforms the liquid ezPRF® into a 100% natural, autologous bio-filler. This is achieved through a controlled heating and cooling process that creates a gel-like consistency. When used for hair restoration, ezGEL® provides structural support to the scalp tissue and an even more prolonged release of growth factors, maximizing the regenerative potential of the treatment.

TREATMENT
OVERVIEW
Your Initial Consultation
Dr. Cappel, MD, will perform a thorough evaluation of your hair and scalp, discuss your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan.
Pre-Treatment Preparation
Stay well-hydrated for 24-48 hours before your appointment. Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements for 1 week before treatment.
During the Treatment
A small amount of blood is drawn and processed in the ezPRF® centrifuge. The scalp is numbed with a local anesthetic for your comfort. The ezPRF® or ezGEL® is then carefully injected into the treatment areas. The procedure takes 45-60 minutes.
Immediate Aftercare
You may experience mild swelling, redness, and tenderness in the scalp for 1-2 days. Avoid washing your hair for 24 hours. Avoid strenuous exercise and excessive heat for 24-48 hours.
Results Timeline
Most patients complete a series of 3-4 treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Results begin to appear after 2-3 months, with optimal results visible 6-12 months after the series is complete. Maintenance treatments are recommended every 6-12 months.
Potential Risks
Since ezPRF® and ezGEL® use your own blood, the treatment is extremely safe. Potential risks are minimal and related to the injections, including temporary swelling, bruising, and soreness.
