Frequently asked questions

What is PRP?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a concentration of platelets and growth factors derived from your own blood. These components are known for their regenerative properties, making PRP ideal for treatments aimed at improving skin texture, reducing fine lines, stimulating hair growth, and accelerating healing.

What is PRF?

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a second-generation platelet therapy that also comes from your blood. Unlike PRP, PRF contains white blood cells and fibrin, which allows for a slower release of growth factors over time. This promotes extended healing and rejuvenation effects.

How are PRP and PRF treatments performed?

The procedure begins with drawing a small amount of your blood, which is then processed using a centrifuge to separate the platelets. The PRP or PRF is collected and applied or injected into the treatment area to stimulate natural healing and regeneration.

What are the benefits of PRP and PRF?

• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
• Improves skin tone and texture
• Promotes hair regrowth for thinning hair
• Enhances collagen production
• Speeds up wound healing

What areas can be treated with PRP and PRF?

Common treatment areas include:

• Face (especially under-eye circles, cheeks, and nasolabial folds)
• Scalp for hair restoration
• Neck
• Décolletage
• Hands

How do PRP and PRF differ?

While both are derived from your blood and contain platelets and growth factors, PRF includes white blood cells and fibrin, which results in a slower release of growth factors compared to PRP. This makes PRF ideal for more sustained rejuvenation treatments.

Is the treatment safe?

Yes, PRP and PRF treatments are very safe because they use your body’s own cells, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or infections.

What is the downtime after PRP/PRF treatment?

Downtime is minimal. You may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, which typically resolve within a few days.

How many sessions are needed for optimal results?

For best results, most clients need 3-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Maintenance sessions are recommended every 6-12 months.

Who is a good candidate for PRP/PRF treatments?

PRP and PRF are suitable for most individuals looking to improve their skin’s appearance or address hair thinning. However, those with certain medical conditions or blood disorders should consult their healthcare provider before undergoing treatment.

Are there any side effects?

Because PRP and PRF use your own blood, side effects are rare. Some people may experience temporary swelling, redness, or bruising at the treatment site.

How soon can I see results?

Initial results can appear within 2-4 weeks after the first session, with continued improvement over several months as collagen production increases.

Can PRP/PRF be combined with other treatments?

Yes, PRP and PRF pair well with other aesthetic treatments like microneedling, dermal fillers, and laser therapies for enhanced results.
