Fotona vs. PRF: Which Hair Restoration Treatment Is Best for You in Leesburg,FL?

You’re Not Imagining It—Your Hair Is Thinner

You run your fingers through your hair and feel it—less density, more scalp. The part looks wider. That ponytail doesn’t feel as thick. It’s not dramatic. Not “panic-mode” level. But it’s enough to make you pause.

Maybe you’ve tried the supplements. Changed your shampoo. Googled “best hair growth serum” more times than you’d like to admit.

Now you’re ready for something stronger—something real.

At My Wellness Studio in Leesburg, two non-surgical options stand out: Fotona laser hair restoration and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) injections. Both are science-backed. Both help revive hair follicles. But they work differently—and knowing which is best for you can save time, money, and a whole lot of second-guessing.

Let’s break it down.


First Things First: Why Is Your Hair Even Thinning?

Let me explain something no one really tells you: hair loss isn’t just about age or genetics.

For both men and women, thinning can stem from:

  • Hormonal shifts (hi, perimenopause or postpartum)
  • Chronic stress (that “tight scalp” feeling? Not a myth)
  • Inflammation or poor circulation in the scalp
  • Vitamin and nutrient depletion
  • Underlying autoimmune issues
  • Even hairstyles that tug too much (we see you, high ponytails)

The common thread? The hair follicles slow down—or stop altogether. And reactivating them takes a nudge. Sometimes several.

That’s where Fotona and PRF come in.


What Is Fotona Hair Restoration?

Fotona is a non-invasive laser treatment that uses controlled thermal energy to stimulate dormant hair follicles and improve scalp circulation. No needles. No blood draw. No medications.

It works in two ways:

  1. Thermal stimulation: The laser gently heats the scalp tissues, triggering blood flow and encouraging stem cell activity around the hair bulb.
  2. Photobiomodulation: The energy from the laser signals hair follicles to re-enter the growth phase (aka anagen).

Think of it like coaxing sleepy follicles to wake up—without stressing them out.

What It Feels Like

Most clients describe it as a warm, tingly sensation. It’s not painful—more like someone’s using a warm handpiece to slowly sweep across your scalp. A session takes about 30 minutes, and there’s no downtime.

You can head straight to Publix afterward. No hats needed.


And What About PRF?

PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is made from your own blood, spun to isolate platelets, white blood cells, and growth factors. These are the healers—they tell your body to repair, restore, and regenerate.

In a PRF hair restoration session:

  • A small blood sample is drawn
  • The PRF is processed
  • The serum is injected into targeted areas of the scalp using tiny needles

These injections deliver a concentrated healing cocktail right where your hair needs it most. They stimulate stem cells, increase blood supply to the follicle, and reawaken sluggish follicles from their resting state.

What It Feels Like

You’ll feel a series of small pinches—kind of like tiny bee stings. We numb the area to keep it manageable, and the whole thing usually takes under an hour.

There might be mild swelling or soreness for a day or two after. But the results? Worth it.


Who’s a Better Fit for Fotona?

Fotona is fantastic if:

  • You’re in the early stages of hair loss
  • You want a gentle, needle-free approach
  • You have sensitive skin or autoimmune conditions
  • You prefer a treatment with zero downtime
  • You’re not quite ready for injections but want to be proactive

It’s also great if you’re already doing other treatments (like Nutrafol or LED therapy) and want to amplify your results.


And PRF? It’s Perfect If You…

  • Want maximum impact—especially if you’ve had thinning for a while
  • Don’t mind a little discomfort for a stronger biological push
  • Have had success with PRP and want a longer-lasting version
  • Are treating receding areas, a wider part, or visible scalp
  • Need to jumpstart growth fast after illness or postpartum shedding

PRF is especially helpful when you want to restore density—not just stop shedding.


Can You Do Both?

Actually… yes. And many clients do.

Fotona and PRF work beautifully together, especially when spaced a few weeks apart. The laser helps improve circulation and absorption. The PRF injects biological fuel into the system.

It’s like watering the soil and planting better seeds.

At My Wellness Studio, we often customize plans that combine both—tailoring the schedule based on your hair goals, how fast you want results, and what your scalp can handle.


How Soon Will You See Results?

Hair grows slowly, so patience is key.

With both Fotona and PRF, most clients begin noticing:

  • Less shedding in the first few weeks
  • New baby hairs after 2 to 3 months
  • Improved density and texture within 3 to 6 months

And the best part? These aren’t “fillers” or tricks. It’s your hair coming back—naturally.
