Revitalize Skin With Your Own Growth Factors

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) injections are regenerative treatments that use concentrated growth factors derived from a small sample of your blood to support your healing process. After processing the blood, the platelet-rich solution is strategically injected into targeted areas to stimulate collagen production, encourage tissue repair, and promote healthier skin and stronger, fuller-looking hair with natural-looking improvements.

PRP/PRF Injections Treat:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne scars and other mild facial scars
  • Uneven skin texture
  • Dull, tired-looking skin
  • Age-related collagen loss
  • Hair thinning and early hair loss
  • Receding hairlines
  • Reduced hair density
  • Under-eye hollowing and crepey skin

How do PRP/PRF Injections Work?

PRP and PRF injections harness your body’s natural healing mechanisms to stimulate tissue repair and regeneration. Both treatments begin with a simple blood draw, but each is processed differently to deliver unique regenerative benefits for your skin and hair.

PRP Injections

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is created by spinning a small blood sample in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate platelets within the plasma. These platelets contain growth factors and signaling proteins that stimulate collagen and elastin production, support cellular repair, and encourage tissue regeneration. Once injected into targeted areas, PRP helps rejuvenate your skin or stimulate hair follicles, resulting in gradual, natural-looking improvement.

PRF Injections

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is produced using a slower centrifugation process without anticoagulants, allowing more platelets, white blood cells, fibrin, and stem cell precursors to remain in the final solution. The fibrin matrix acts as a natural scaffold that gradually releases growth factors over time. This sustained regenerative response supports collagen remodeling, tissue healing, and longer-lasting rejuvenation for healthier skin and fuller-looking hair.

Benefits of PRP/PRF Injections:

  • Uses your body’s own natural growth factors
  • Minimally invasive treatment with little downtime
  • Stimulates collagen and elastin production
  • Supports gradual, natural-looking rejuvenation
  • Improves skin texture and overall skin quality
  • Encourages healthier, fuller-looking hair growth
  • Suitable for the face, scalp, and other targeted areas
  • Personalized to your unique regenerative potential

What Happens During PRP/PRF Injections?

Your appointment begins with a small blood draw from your arm. The sample is processed in a centrifuge to isolate either platelet-rich plasma or platelet-rich fibrin. Your provider then cleanses the treatment area, may apply a topical numbing cream for comfort, and strategically injects the concentrated solution into targeted areas using a fine needle to stimulate natural regeneration.

Expected Results From PRP/PRF Injections

You may begin to notice improvements in skin quality or hair growth within 4 to 8 weeks, with continued enhancement over the following 3 to 6 months as regeneration progresses. Results typically last 12 to 18 months, depending on the treatment area and your goals. Most patients benefit from an initial treatment series followed by maintenance sessions every 6 to 12 months.

FAQs

Both treatments use concentrated components from your own blood, but they are processed differently. PRP contains a high concentration of platelets, while PRF also includes fibrin, white blood cells, and additional regenerative cells, without anticoagulants. PRF releases growth factors more gradually, which may provide longer-lasting results in some cases.

Because PRP and PRF stimulate your natural healing response, the results develop gradually rather than abruptly. Many patients notice initial improvements within 4 to 8 weeks, with continued collagen production and tissue regeneration occurring over several months. Hair restoration results also appear progressively as healthier growth cycles develop.

Your treatment plan depends on your specific concerns and desired outcome. Many patients benefit from a series of 2 to 4 sessions spaced several weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months. Your provider will recommend a personalized schedule to help you achieve optimal results.

Downtime is minimal. You may experience mild redness, swelling, tenderness, or pinpoint bruising at the injection sites for a few days. Most patients can return to normal daily activities shortly after treatment, although your provider may recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive heat, and direct sun exposure for the first 24 to 48 hours.

Since PRP and PRF use your own blood, the risk of allergic reactions is low. Temporary swelling, bruising, tenderness, or mild discomfort at the injection sites are the most common side effects and generally resolve within several days.
