What is PRP/PRF?

PRP and PRF are both non-surgical treatments that use your own blood to stimulate healing and rejuvenation in the targeted area.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

PRP is derived from your blood by concentrating platelets, which are rich in growth factors that promote healing and tissue regeneration. It is commonly used to treat facial wrinkles, sun damage, and hair loss.

PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)

PRF is a more advanced form of PRP that retains a higher concentration of growth factors, which are released more slowly for longer-lasting results. PRF is typically used for facial aesthetics and scalp rejuvenation to enhance tissue regeneration.

Benefits of PRP/PRF:

Facial Rejuvenation: PRP and PRF stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture, helping to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and skin sagging. This process promotes a more youthful and radiant appearance.

Hair Restoration: PRP and PRF have shown incredible success in treating hair loss, promoting thicker hair growth by revitalizing hair follicles.

Minimally Invasive: Both treatments involve minimal downtime, with no incisions or stitches, making them perfect for individuals seeking subtle, natural-looking results.

No Risk of Allergic Reaction: Since PRP and PRF are derived from your own blood, the risk of allergic reactions or other side effects is virtually eliminated.

How PRP/PRF Works

PRP and PRF treatments begin with a simple blood draw, similar to a routine blood test. The collected blood is placed into a centrifuge, which spins the blood to separate the red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The concentrated PRP or PRF is then extracted for use. Once ready, the PRP or PRF is carefully injected into the targeted area, where the growth factors within the platelets work to promote natural healing, tissue regeneration, and collagen production. The results of the treatment gradually develop over time, with noticeable improvements in skin texture, tone, and hair growth typically appearing within a few weeks, and full results becoming visible after a few months.

PRP/PRF FAQs

How long do the results of PRP/PRF treatments last?
Results from PRP and PRF treatments can vary depending on the individual and the area being treated. Generally, patients begin to notice visible improvements within a few weeks, with full results appearing after 3 to 6 months. To maintain results, follow-up treatments are typically recommended every 6 to 12 months.

Is PRP/PRF treatment painful?
PRP and PRF treatments are generally well-tolerated, and most patients experience minimal discomfort. A topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area to ensure a comfortable experience. You may feel a slight sensation of pressure or mild discomfort during the injection process, but there is no downtime associated with the procedure.

How many sessions will I need to see results?
For facial rejuvenation, most patients typically require 2 to 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart to achieve optimal results. For hair restoration, results can begin to show after 2 to 3 sessions, with follow-up treatments every 3 to 6 months depending on the progression. A personalized treatment plan will be developed during your consultation.

Are there any side effects or risks associated with PRP/PRF treatments?
Since PRP and PRF use your own blood, the risk of allergic reactions is virtually non-existent. Common side effects include mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site, which typically resolves within a few days. As with any medical procedure, your provider will review any potential risks during your consultation.
