Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to commonly asked questions by patients seeking treatment with Regenerative Medicine.

• Is PRF FDA-approved?
  PRF is prepared from your own blood rather than bought as a drug. The equipment used to prepare it is regulated, but many of the ways PRF is used in aesthetic and regenerative care are considered off-label. We explain the evidence for your specific treatment at your consultation.
• Does PRF work for hair loss?
  It is best studied for common pattern hair thinning in men and women. Many patients see less shedding and thicker-looking hair, but not everyone responds, and it cannot regrow hair where the follicles are gone.
• Who is a good candidate for regenerative medicine?
  Good candidates are adults seeking non-surgical options to support healing, skin quality, hair restoration, or intimate wellness.
  
  You may be a candidate if you are in generally good health and want to:
  
  • improve skin tone/texture
  
  • support hair growth
  
  • enhance sexual wellness
  
  • boost post-procedure recovery
  
  A consultation determines the safest and most effective approach for your specific goals.
• Do I need an X-ray or MRI?
  Sometimes. Your physician reviews any existing imaging and may order additional imaging when clinically indicated. Please bring any imaging you already have.
• What can PRF be used for?
  At Valoura we use PRF and PRP for the face, the under-eye area, thinning hair, selected joint pain and sexual wellness. Each has its own page with details.
• What kinds of results can I expect?
  Most patients notice gradual improvement in skin quality, texture, hair fullness, or sexual function over several weeks as the body responds to treatment. Results vary based on the treatment type, area treated, and your overall health.
  
  Regenerative medicine is designed to support and enhance your body's own repair processes, not as an instant or "overnight" solution.
