At Hair by Dr. Max Restoration Center in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, we combine family medicine with the latest and most advanced aesthetic and wellness treatments. Our goal is to promote optimal health while helping our patients look and feel their best. One of the ways we do that is with our growth factors treatments. Growth factors for hair loss uses growth factors injections to naturally restore healthy hair without surgical techniques, social downtime, or a long recovery.
What Is Growth Factors for Hair Loss?
Our hair loss treatments rely on the powers of the body to heal and rejuvenate hair follicles to promote visible hair growth and lasting results. We use concentrated growth factors for hair loss, a substance derived from each patient’s blood that contains healing and regenerative properties.
Patients experiencing hair loss who don’t want to rely on a surgical procedure, medications, chemicals, or other invasive techniques to promote hair growth and lasting results can benefit from growth factors injections. The treatment process is quick, minimally invasive, and can promote hair growth without adverse reactions.
How Do Growth Factors Treatments Work?
Our concentrated growth factors hair restoration treatments take approximately 90 minutes. You’ll begin your appointment with a standard blood draw. We only need 15 to 50 mL of blood, which is less than two ounces. The blood draw is virtually identical to a standard blood test, and one of our trained professionals will collect the blood sample into a tiny vial after putting a small needle into a vein in your arm.
Preparing the Blood Sample
We’ll then take the blood sample and place it in a specialized device called a centrifuge, which uses gravitational forces to separate the concentrated growth factors from the other elements of the blood by spinning the sample at high speed. During this process, the gravitational forces separate the concentrated growth factors from the blood, forcing it to rise to the top of the sample. We’ll then process and collect the platelets.
These injections are powerful because they contain up to five times the normal number of platelets in the blood. We use quality control in preparing each sample and ensure that each patient’s platelet concentration is sufficient for the treatment.
Administering the Growth Factors Injections
Once we prepare these platelets into an injectable form, we administer them after applying a topical numbing cream to the desired treatment area. Once we administer the growth factors injections to your scalp, eyebrows, or beard, the growth factors, proteins, and nutrients will begin working to stimulate natural collagen production and accelerate healing and cellular regeneration in the hair follicles in the area.
Am I a Good Candidate?
If you’re suffering from one of the many types of hair loss and want to restore healthy hair and your confidence in your appearance but don’t want to rely on surgery or chemicals to achieve results, you may be the perfect candidate for one of our concentrated growth factors hair restoration treatments.

Once we confirm your treatment eligibility, we’ll schedule your first two to three sessions in advance and any additional sessions necessary based on your personalized treatment plan. HBOT sessions take approximately 90 minutes. We can schedule your appointments on multiple consecutive days if necessary and will make every effort to work around your availability.
Patients can expect the best results after completing a series of growth factors treatments with a few weeks between each. We design treatment plans for each patient based on their unique type of hair loss and their ultimate goals.
When we meet with you during your initial consultation, we can evaluate your treatment areas and give you a better idea of what your treatment plan will look like so you can schedule your treatments accordingly. After completing the recommended sessions, you can maintain your results long-term by scheduling regular maintenance sessions every several months.
Patients can expect some initial results within two months of their initial treatment sessions. Hair growth takes time, so while you won’t see immediate results, you can take weekly or bi-weekly progress photos to track your results. Full results will be visible within four to eight months, and those results will continue to improve for up to a year.
After you complete your treatment, you can expect your results to last a year or longer. Results vary among patients based on their treatment plans and the areas they treat. We can give you more information about what you can expect from your personalized treatment plan at your consultation.
