Hair loss is one of the most visible and emotionally taxing side effects of chemotherapy. While the goal of cancer treatment is to save lives, the impact it leaves behind—both physically and psychologically—can be profound. At AQ Surgery, our philosophy goes beyond eliminating disease. We focus on restoring patients to their pre-diagnosis selves as closely as possible, helping them reclaim their identity, confidence, and quality of life. Hair restoration is an integral part of that journey.
Through regenerative therapies like Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) and exosomes, Dr. Anastasiya Quimby offers a natural, effective solution for patients seeking to restore hair lost during chemotherapy—one that aligns with our comprehensive, patient-first approach to healing.
Understanding Post-Chemotherapy Hair Loss
Chemotherapy targets rapidly dividing cells, including cancer cells and the cells responsible for hair growth. For many, the result is hair thinning or complete loss.
While regrowth often occurs after treatment ends, the process can be slow, uneven, or incomplete—especially in areas with fragile vascularization or prior surgical intervention.
That’s where regenerative medicine makes a difference.
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF): A Natural Catalyst for Regrowth
PRF is derived from your blood and is rich in growth factors, white blood cells, and fibrin matrix—all of which help activate healing and tissue regeneration.
When injected into areas of hair loss, PRF nourishes hair follicles, reawakens dormant growth cycles, and encourages stronger, healthier strands to return.
Unlike synthetic treatments or medications, PRF is completely biocompatible and aligned with the body’s natural healing processes.
For Dr. Quimby, that’s essential: "Chemotherapy leads to hair thinning, and PRF offers a natural, holistic way to restore it. This aligns with my practice philosophy—bringing patients back to their pre-disease self as closely as possible."
Exosomes: Accelerating the Healing and Regrowth Process
To enhance the regenerative effect of PRF, AQ Surgery also offers exosome therapy—a cutting-edge advancement in healing science.
Exosomes are extracellular vesicles that act as messengers between cells, delivering growth signals that promote regeneration, reduce inflammation, and improve tissue health.
When applied to the scalp during or after PRF injections, exosomes:
- Stimulate new blood vessel growth, improving follicular health
- Enhance collagen production, strengthening the skin and hair structure
- Reduce inflammation, helping sensitive post-chemotherapy tissue recover
- Support cellular communication, optimizing the conditions for natural hair growth
Together, PRF and exosomes encourage regrowth from the inside out, restoring not just hair but also a renewed sense of self.
