If you prefer treatments that work with your body’s natural processes, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) are worth knowing about. They use components of your own blood to encourage renewal.
What PRP and PRF are
Both are made from a small blood sample that is processed to concentrate platelets. Platelets contain growth factors that signal the body to repair and regenerate tissue. PRF is spun more gently and releases its growth factors more gradually.
Early signs of aging they can address
- Fine lines and crepey texture
- Dull, uneven skin
- Under-eye darkness and hollowness
- Mild acne scarring
- Thinning hair
How treatment works
After your blood is drawn and processed, the concentrate is applied with microneedling or injected into targeted areas. Numbing keeps you comfortable, and most appointments take about an hour.
When to expect results
Skin often looks brighter within a few weeks, with continued improvement over several months as collagen builds. A series of three treatments is commonly recommended.
Why patients choose regenerative care
Because PRP and PRF come from your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction is very low, and results look natural. They also pair well with other treatments for enhanced results.
