Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet-Rich Plasma Fibrin (PRF) are both innovative treatments derived from your own blood. During a simple procedure, a small amount of blood is drawn and processed to separate the platelets, which are rich in healing and growth factors. In PRP, the platelets are suspended in plasma, while PRF creates a natural fibrin matrix containing the concentrated platelets. Both PRP and PRF can then be applied topically after a microneedling treatment or injected into targeted areas of the face or scalp to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture and tone, and promote overall rejuvenation.
Additionally, PRP and PRF contain exosomes, tiny vesicles that carry growth factors and other bioactive molecules. These exosomes play a crucial role in skin repair and rejuvenation, contributing to the effectiveness of these treatments.
PRP and PRF harness your body’s own healing potential to promote collagen production, leading to smoother, tighter skin with a more youthful appearance.
These treatments effectively address concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and sun damage, revealing a more even and radiant complexion.
Since PRP and PRF use your own platelets, there’s minimal risk of allergic reaction.
Many patients describe the PRP/PRF extraction process as a light pinch. A topical anesthetic can be applied before treatment to minimize any discomfort during the injection process. You may experience some mild tenderness or swelling at the injection sites, but this typically resolves within a day.
There is minimal downtime associated with PRP and PRF treatments. You may experience some slight redness or swelling at the injection sites, but most patients can resume their normal activities right away.
The number of treatments needed varies depending on your individual goals and the severity of your concerns. Most patients see optimal results after a series of 2-3 treatments spaced several weeks apart.
PRP and PRF are generally safe for most skin types. During your consultation, our expert team will assess your skin and determine if either treatment is the right option for you.
You may notice some initial improvement in your skin texture and tone within a few weeks. However, the full effects of PRP and PRF develop gradually over the course of 2-3 months as collagen production increases.
