PRP/PRF Treatments

PRF is processed without anticoagulants, creating a natural fibrin matrix that slowly releases growth factors over days rather than hours. PRF contains higher concentrations of platelets, white blood cells, and stem cells compared to PRP, providing more sustained regenerative effects. PRF is ideal for facial rejuvenation and under-eye treatments, while PRP works well for hair restoration and combination with microneedling.

Yes. PRP and PRF are extremely safe due to their autologous nature—derived from your own blood—eliminating risk of allergic reaction. When administered by qualified medical professionals using sterile processing protocols, these treatments have an excellent safety profile supported by extensive clinical research across multiple medical specialties.

Pre-Care Guidelines

• Stay well-hydrated before treatment

• Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements (if medically appropriate)

• Avoid alcohol for 24-48 hours prior

• Arrive with clean face or scalp—no makeup or hair products

• Do not take any anti-inflammatory medication such as Advil or Naproxen

Post-Care Guidelines

• Avoid touching or rubbing treated areas

• Avoid makeup for 12-24 hours (facial treatments)

• Avoid washing hair for 4-6 hours (hair restoration)

• Avoid strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours

• Avoid heat exposure (sauna, steam, hot yoga) for 24-48 hours

• Apply SPF 30+ daily and avoid direct sun exposure

• Follow all personalized instructions provided by your provider

During Treatment

• Treatment time: approximately 60 minutes total

• Small blood draw (similar to routine lab work)

• Blood processed in sterile centrifuge to concentrate platelets

• PRP/PRF injected into targeted areas or applied with microneedling

• Topical or local anesthetic used for comfort

After Treatment

• Redness, warmth, and mild swelling for 24-72 hours

• Possible bruising at injection sites

• Most patients resume normal activities within 24-48 hours

• Results develop gradually over several weeks to months

Most patients experience minimal to mild discomfort. Topical or local anesthetic is applied before treatment to ensure comfort. The blood draw feels like routine lab work, and injections feel like brief pinching or pressure. Hair restoration patients may feel more sensitivity on the scalp but tolerate treatment well with numbing.

Yes. Clinical studies demonstrate PRP/PRF effectiveness for androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss) in both men and women. Growth factors strengthen existing follicles, activate dormant follicles, and improve hair density and thickness. Best results occur with early intervention—active hair loss responds better than long-dormant areas.

For best results, a series of 3–4 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is commonly recommended. Your plan depends on your goals and will be determined during consultation. Maintenance treatments every 6-12 months help sustain improvements and support continued regeneration.

Yes. PRP/PRF is commonly combined with microneedling or integrated into comprehensive rejuvenation plans alongside neuromodulators, dermal fillers, and skin-quality treatments when clinically appropriate.

Yes. PRF is particularly effective for under-eye rejuvenation, improving dark circles, hollowing, fine lines, crepiness, and tired appearance without synthetic fillers. The natural fibrin matrix provides subtle volume while stimulating collagen production for gradual, natural-looking improvement. Typically 2-3 treatments are recommended for optimal results.
