St. George, UT
Living in St. George, UT, means embracing an active life. Between the red rock hikes, the relentless sun, and the dry desert heat, we ask a lot of our bodies. We spend years protecting our skin from the elements, but we often forget that our scalp and hair are facing the same environmental stressors.
For many of us, the realization happens slowly. Maybe you notice your ponytail feels lighter during a workout, or you see more strands in the drain than usual. Whether it’s general hair thinning or distinct patches of hair loss, losing your hair is a deeply personal source of stress. It can feel like you are losing a piece of your identity.
At St. George Med Spa, we believe the solution shouldn’t add to that stress. We don’t rely on aggressive surgeries or chemical dependencies. Instead, we offer PRF for hair that St. George residents can trust—a fully natural, regenerative protocol designed to wake up your follicles and help you reclaim healthier hair. By combining Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) with Advanced Growth Factors, we create a powerful biological signal that tells your body to repair itself.
Hair loss is complex. It isn't just about aging, and it certainly isn't just a "male problem." In our practice, we see patients of all backgrounds and ages seeking hair restoration treatments.
We treat university students experiencing stress-induced shedding during finals week, postpartum moms dealing with hormonal shifts, and men and women navigating genetic thinning. From the campus of Utah Tech to the golf courses of Bloomington, hair loss affects our entire community.
The causes are vast. Female pattern baldness, male pattern baldness (androgenic alopecia), hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, and even the mineral content in our local water can contribute to thinning hair. Because the root causes vary, we never take a "one size fits all" approach. We start with honest conversation and education, ensuring we understand your history before we ever suggest a treatment plan.
For years, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) was the industry standard for non-surgical hair restoration. While PRP is effective, the science of regeneration has moved forward. At St. George Med Spa, we have adopted the "Next Generation" of care: PRF combined with Advanced Growth Factors (PAF).
To understand why we do this, it helps to compare the three levels of treatment:
We don’t stop at PRF. To give our patients the best results possible, we combine PRF with Advanced Growth Factors (often referred to clinically as purified amniotic fluid or PAF).
Think of your scalp like a garden in the desert.
These active ingredients—derived from carefully screened, sterile sources—are packed with cytokines, proteins, and hyaluronic acid. When we introduce these growth factors alongside the platelets, we aren't just improving circulation; we are delivering a concentrated "wake up" call to dormant follicles. This combination is designed to shift follicles from the resting phase (telogen) back into the growth phase (anagen), promoting both new hair growth and improved hair density.
We call them Advanced Growth Factors, but in clinical terms, this product is known as Purified Amniotic Fluid (PAF).
We know the name can sound intense, but the science is incredibly clean. PAF is a sterile, immune-privileged fluid that is rich in the specific nutrients required for human tissue generation. Because it is "immune-privileged," it does not contain the markers that cause rejection or allergic reactions—meaning your body accepts it as a helping hand, not a foreign invader.
Why do we add it to your treatment? As we age, our scalp loses the ability to maintain the nutrient-dense environment that hair needs to thrive. PRF recruits your body’s own healing cells, but adding PAF floods the tissue with over 200 distinct growth factors, cytokines, and proteins that older follicles often lack.
By combining the two, we attack hair thinning from both angles:
This approach is ideal for those who want to avoid the downtime, scarring, and high cost of surgery. It fits seamlessly into a wellness-focused lifestyle, offering a natural solution that uses your own biology to restore your hair.
Transparency is a pillar of our practice. We want you to have realistic expectations about what this procedure can achieve.
PRF is an incredibly effective regenerative therapy, but it requires active hair follicles to work. It cannot regrow hair on a completely bald, shiny scalp where the follicle is effectively dead.
You are likely a good candidate if:
During your consultation, we will examine your scalp and discuss your aesthetic goals. If we believe you need a more invasive intervention, like a transplant, we will tell you. We care more about your long-term satisfaction than booking a treatment.
We know that needles can be intimidating. Whether you are a student nervous about your first aesthetic appointment or a seasoned patient, we prioritize your comfort.
Most patients report feeling pressure or a mild pinching sensation. We can use numbing measures to manage pain, ensuring the experience is as stress-free as possible.
You may experience mild swelling, tenderness, or redness at the injection sites for 24 hours. This is normal—it’s a sign that the inflammatory healing response has started. We recommend you avoid washing your hair or heavy exercise until the next morning to let the growth factors settle.
Hair restoration is a marathon, not a sprint. Biology takes time, and hair growth happens in cycles.
To see great results, consistency is essential. We generally recommend a series of multiple treatments—typically 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart.
Because hair loss is often a chronic condition (especially if it’s genetic), we recommend maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months to maintain your results and support long-term follicle health.
Living in George, UT, we are surrounded by a culture of health and wellness. We believe your hair care should reflect that.
While PRF injections are powerful, they work best when supported by a healthy lifestyle. During your time with us, we might discuss nutrition, stress management, and scalp health. We stay up to date on the latest research in regenerative aesthetics so we can offer you advice that actually makes sense.
We are also proud to serve the broader academic and residential communities of Washington County. From faculty at the university to business owners in the city, we help people get back to looking like themselves.
Your hair frames your face and influences how you present yourself to the world. If you are ready to stop watching your hair thin and start taking action, we are here to help.
At St. George Med Spa, we don’t just treat patients; we treat neighbors. We invite you to come in, ask questions, and learn if PRF is the right path for your future.
Let’s help you get back to the hair—and the confidence—you love.

Transplants relocate hair follicles from one part of the head to another. It is a surgical procedure with downtime. PRF is a non-surgical maintenance and restoration treatment that strengthens the follicles where they are. Many patients use PRF to delay the need for surgery or to improve the results after a transplant.
Yes. Since the primary ingredient is your own blood, it is safe for all genders and skin types. It is particularly helpful for women with diffuse thinning who may not be candidates for transplant surgery.
Absolutely. We often recommend a multi-modality approach. Using PRF alongside oral supplements (like Nutrafol) or topical treatments can attack the problem from multiple angles for optimal results.
While PRF is potent on its own, clinical experience and research suggest that adding concentrated growth factors can accelerate the natural healing process. It provides a richer nutrient environment for the follicles, potentially improving the speed and quality of regrowth.
No. This is a gradual restoration, not an overnight change. This makes it an excellent option for patients who want to keep their aesthetic goals private. The improvements appear naturally over three to six months.
Yes. The Advanced Growth Factors (PAF) we use are sourced from consenting, healthy donors during scheduled C-sections. The fluid undergoes rigorous FDA-regulated screening and sterilization processes. It is strictly tested to ensure safety and purity. Because it is amniotic fluid, it is naturally anti-inflammatory and rich in nutrients, making it one of the safest products we use in aesthetics.
Think of it like gardening in the desert heat of St. George. PRF is like setting up a drip irrigation system—it keeps the plant alive and healthy. Adding PAF is like adding premium fertilizer to the soil. You will likely get results with just water, but you get a much lush, denser garden when you add the fertilizer.
