Thinning Hair? You’ve Got Options—And They’re Better Than You Think
You know that slow dread of seeing more hair in the brush than on your head? Or realizing your ponytail feels thinner than it used to? Yeah, it hits differently. Whether it’s hormonal shifts, stress, postpartum changes, or just plain genetics, hair loss isn’t just physical—it’s emotional.
The good news? You don’t have to sit back and let it happen.
At My Wellness Studio in Leesburg, FL we offer two of the most promising non-surgical hair restoration treatments available: PRF injections and DE|RIVE topical therapy. They both work. They both support new growth. But they go about it in very different ways.
So the question is—which one is right for you? Let’s break it down.
First Up: What Is PRF?
PRF stands for Platelet-Rich Fibrin, and it comes from—you guessed it—your own blood. Here’s the process in a nutshell:
- We draw a small sample of your blood.
- It’s spun in a centrifuge to isolate fibrin, platelets, and growth factors.
- That golden, nutrient-rich mix is injected directly into your scalp.
The goal? To wake up sluggish follicles, improve blood flow, and give your hair the biological nudge it needs to start growing stronger, thicker, and healthier strands.
Think of PRF as a natural fertilizer for your scalp. No chemicals, no foreign substances—just your own healing factors, doing what they do best.
Now, What About DE|RIVE?
DE|RIVE is the needle-free, plant-powered option in our lineup. It’s a topical hair and scalp therapy made from biomimetic plant exosomes (don’t worry—we’ll explain). These exosomes are tiny messengers that deliver growth factors, anti-inflammatory agents, and peptides directly to the hair follicle environment.
We apply DE|RIVE using a special technique that ensures deep penetration into the scalp—no injections necessary.
Clients love DE|RIVE because:
- It’s painless and requires no downtime
- It contains no hormones or pharmaceuticals
- It’s safe for all skin tones, hair types, and genders
- It can be used alone or alongside other treatments for enhanced results
Basically, DE|RIVE is the “let’s start with something gentle and effective” approach to hair restoration.
PRF vs. DE|RIVE: How Do They Compare?
Let’s get into the nitty-gritty—because the decision isn’t just about science, it’s about your goals, comfort level, and lifestyle. When comparing PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) and DE|RIVE, both offer impressive benefits for hair restoration and skin rejuvenation, but they work in different ways—and cater to slightly different needs.
PRF is derived from your own blood, rich in platelets, white blood cells, and growth factors that stimulate natural healing and collagen production. It’s a great choice for clients who want an autologous, all-natural treatment and don’t mind a quick blood draw as part of the process. On the other hand, DE|RIVE is a plant-based, exosome-rich serum that’s applied topically and doesn’t require needles or bloodwork. It’s ideal for those with sensitive skin or needle aversion, and it’s particularly loved for scalp and hair treatments thanks to its gentle delivery and powerful regenerative properties.
While PRF tends to offer more structural rejuvenation, especially when injected, DE|RIVE shines in situations where you want non-invasive support for healthier skin or fuller hair.
Which One Is Right for You?
Here’s where it gets personal. Both treatments are fantastic—but they shine in different scenarios.
Choose PRF if:
- You’re experiencing noticeable thinning or patchy areas.
- You want a biological, regenerative approach with long-term benefits.
- You’re not afraid of a few pinches and prefer something that’s injected directly.
- You’ve already tried topical options and want something stronger.
PRF is especially great for men and women dealing with androgenic alopecia, postpartum shedding, or age-related volume loss.
Choose DE|RIVE if:
- You’re in the early stages of hair thinning.
- You want a needle-free, zero-downtime option.
- You’re looking to pair it with microneedling, PRF, or other treatments.
- Your scalp tends to be sensitive or inflamed, and you want something gentle.
DE|RIVE is also ideal for busy clients who don’t want to skip workouts, wash routines, or worry about post-procedure tenderness.
Can You Combine Them?
Actually—yes. Some of our most successful clients use DE|RIVE as a complement to PRF. Think of it as an insurance plan for your scalp. The PRF jumpstarts regrowth at a cellular level, while DE|RIVE keeps the environment calm, nourished, and inflammation-free.
This combo is great for:
- Faster visible results
- Supporting follicle health between PRF sessions
- Clients who’ve had a recent hair transplant or are undergoing other hair restoration protocols
We’ll help you decide during your consultation if a hybrid approach makes sense.
