PRF and PRP treatments are 100% natural, completely free of chemicals, additives or clotting factors. PRP (Platelet rich plasma) & PRF (platelet rich fibrin) is a substance extracted from the blood that contains high concentrations of growth factors, platelets and leukocytes. These components create collagen synthesis to improve volume loss, pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, scars, rough texture, firmness and hair loss. PRF uses the bloods natural Fibrinogen. Fibrinogen creates a fibrin mesh that traps the platelets, growth factors and bio-active molecules. This increases the power of the regenerative processes for better results in patients with more significant concerns.
Your doctor will draw one to two vials of your blood from your arm, just like you would when having a blood test or donating blood. The vials are then placed in a centrifuge, a machine that spins the blood at high speeds causing the plasma to separate from the red blood cells. Once completed the plasma which contains all of the beneficial components is drawn into a syringe. The plasma is then either injected on its own into the treatment area or combined with a gel depending on the desired result. In some cases a cannula (blunt needle) is used. This allows your doctor to inject several areas without the need for multiple pokes, improving your comfort.
Virtually any area of the face and neck can be treated where there is a concern relating to skin laxity, scarring, volume or wrinkles. PRP or PRF can be used to treat imperfections like acne scars, hypertrophic scars and skin texture as well as reduce wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, nasolabial folds and neck. Your doctor can also use PRP and PRF to lift your cheeks and define your jawline. PRF really shines as an undereye treatment for anyone suffering from dark circles and hollowness as it provides natural volume and improves skin density. When the skin under the eyes is strengthened, dark circles are diminished, fine lines are softened and fullness is restored.

While the results produced by the dermal filler are instant, the improvements generated by the increased collagen production will show more over the next few months.
PRP: The number of treatments required depends on each individual patient and their desired outcome. For the most dramatic results we recommend a series of 3 injection sessions spaced out 4 to 6 weeks apart. A yearly follow up treatment is also recommended to maintain your results.
PRF and PRF + Gel: The number of treatments required depends on each individual patient and their desired outcome. For PRF we recommend 1 to 3 sessions spaced out 4 to 6 weeks apart. For PRF + Gel 1 session may be enough as it provides instant volume but your doctor may suggest more. A yearly follow up treatment is also recommended to maintain your results.
Because the treatment aggressively floods the treatment area with platelets, you may experience swelling and tenderness. It is advised to allow for 2 to 3 days of down time following your treatment.
