Your Skin. Your Platelets. Your Natural Renewal.
Harness the regenerative potential of your own blood to support healthier, more youthful-looking skin.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) are autologous treatments that use a concentrated portion of your own blood to deliver platelets and naturally occurring growth factors to targeted areas of the skin.
These treatments are designed to support the skin’s natural repair processes and may help improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, skin texture, elasticity and overall skin quality. Clinical studies have shown promising results, although outcomes can vary from person to person. PubMed
What Is PRP?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is created from a small sample of your own blood.
After the blood is processed, the platelet-rich portion is separated and used as part of your personalized treatment. Platelets contain signaling proteins and growth factors involved in tissue repair and regeneration.
PRP may be used as part of a facial rejuvenation plan to help improve:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Skin texture
- Skin elasticity
- Overall skin quality
- The appearance of aging skin
- Certain areas of uneven pigmentation
Research suggests PRP may improve several signs of facial aging, although studies have used different preparation and treatment techniques and more research is needed to establish standardized protocols. PubMed
What Is PRF?
The Next Generation of Platelet-Based Regenerative Treatment
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is another autologous platelet concentrate made from your own blood.
Unlike traditional PRP, PRF forms a fibrin matrix that can act as a scaffold for platelets and may allow a more gradual release of growth factors.
PRF is particularly appealing for skin rejuvenation and delicate areas such as the under-eye area, where the goal is often to improve skin quality rather than simply add volume.
Early clinical evidence suggests injectable PRF may improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, skin texture and elasticity, but additional research is needed to determine optimal protocols and long-term results. PubMed
PRP vs. PRF
| PRP | PRF | |
|---|---|---|
| Source | Your own blood | Your own blood |
| Platelets | Concentrated | Concentrated |
| Fibrin matrix | Minimal | Yes |
| Growth-factor release | More rapid | More gradual |
| Common aesthetic uses | Skin rejuvenation, pigmentation, texture | Fine lines, texture, elasticity, delicate areas |
| Adds traditional filler-like volume | No | No |
Neither PRP nor PRF is a traditional dermal filler. The goal is to support skin quality and the body’s natural regenerative processes rather than simply replace lost volume.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
Depending on your individual goals and treatment plan, PRP/PRF may be considered for:
Face
- Fine lines
- Wrinkles
- Cheeks
- Forehead
- Around the mouth
- Overall skin rejuvenation
Under Eyes
PRP and PRF may be used to improve the appearance of crepey skin and fine lines around the eyes.
Because the eye area is particularly delicate, treatment requires careful patient selection and an individualized approach.
Neck & Décolletage
PRP/PRF may also be incorporated into a skin-rejuvenation plan for areas showing early signs of aging and loss of elasticity.
What Can I Expect?
Your treatment begins with a small blood draw. Your blood is then processed to separate the desired platelet-rich component.
The prepared PRP or PRF is then applied or administered according to your individualized treatment plan.
You may experience temporary:
- Redness
- Swelling
- Tenderness
- Bruising
- Mild sensitivity
These effects generally resolve as the treatment area heals.
Because PRP and PRF use your own blood, they are considered autologous treatments. However, they are still medical procedures and are not appropriate for everyone.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Treatment plans are individualized.
Some patients choose a series of treatments to build results over time, followed by periodic maintenance treatments.
Your provider will evaluate your skin, goals, medical history and previous treatments to determine whether PRP, PRF or another skin-rejuvenation treatment is appropriate for you.
Results are gradual rather than immediate.
PRP + Microneedling
PRP can also be incorporated into a microneedling treatment.
Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin while stimulating the body’s natural collagen-remodeling response. PRP may be incorporated into the treatment to complement the skin’s healing process.
This combination may be particularly beneficial for patients interested in improving:
- Skin texture
- Fine lines
- Acne scars
- Overall skin quality
Why Choose Your Own Platelets?
PRP and PRF are made from your own blood, rather than a manufactured filler or synthetic substance.
The goal isn’t to change your facial structure.
It’s to help your skin look healthier, smoother and more refreshed by supporting its own regenerative processes.
