Advanced Regenerative Solutions for Men & Women By Dr. Allison Pontius, MD — Elevated Aesthetics, Santa Barbara
A New Era in Hair Restoration
Hair thinning or shedding can impact your confidence and appearance — but it doesn’t have to be permanent. Dr. Allison Pontius offers the most advanced regenerative hair restoration treatments using Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF), Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF), or a combination of both to stimulate dormant follicles, restore density, and improve scalp health.
These treatments harness your body’s own healing power — no surgery, no artificial chemicals — for results that look and feel natural.
Three Customized Treatment Options
Option 1: PDGF
Platelet-Derived Growth Factor is a naturally occurring protein in your blood that drives cell repair and growth. When concentrated and applied to the scalp, PDGF:
- Stimulates follicle regeneration
- Increases blood flow and nutrient delivery to the hair root
- Prolongs the hair growth cycle
- Supports thicker, healthier strands
Option 2: PRF
Platelet-Rich Fibrin is the next generation of platelet therapy — richer in growth factors and white blood cells than traditional PRP. PRF slowly releases regenerative proteins over time, giving hair follicles a longer boost for sustained growth.
PRF Benefits for Hair Restoration:
- Natural, gradual hair regrowth
- Reduced shedding
- Improved hair texture and thickness
- Long-lasting results without synthetic additives
Option 3: PDGF + PRF Combination Therapy
For patients seeking maximum stimulation and long-lasting results, Dr. Pontius offers a dual approach that combines the immediate activation of PDGF with the extended release of PRF. This synergy can:
- Trigger rapid follicle awakening
- Extend growth factor activity for months
- Deliver thicker, denser coverage
- Support both early regrowth and long-term maintenance
How the Treatment Works
- Blood Draw & Processing – For PRF a small sample of your blood is processed to concentrate the growth factors. PDGF does not require a blood draw.
- Targeted Application – The solution is injected into thinning areas of the scalp using ultra-fine needles.
- Regeneration Begins – Growth factors awaken dormant follicles, improve scalp circulation, and encourage stronger hair growth.

These treatments are ideal for:
- Men and women experiencing early-to-moderate hair thinning
