PRP & PRF Injections

Arcadia, CA

Did you know there is a way you can refresh your complexion and hair and take years off your appearance without surgery? PRP and PRF therapy are treatments that work with your body to boost collagen production and improve the quality and look of your skin by softening wrinkles, tightening your skin’s texture, and bringing back the youthful glow that often fades as you get older. It can also help rejuvenate the follicles on your scalp that lead to thinning hair and give you natural-looking results without having to undergo an invasive surgery and a long recovery.

What Are PRP & PRF Therapies?

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) therapies use the natural healing power of your body to refresh and restore your skin and hair from the inside. Your body was designed to heal itself, and each drop of blood circulating inside your body contains growth factors that are the powerful healing agents responsible for this task. 

PRP and PRF therapy isolates and uses these cells to activate your body’s built-in repair system to gradually restore and improve the treated areas and provide noticeable and long-lasting results.

How Do PRP & PRF Injections Work?

Both treatments are very gentle and rely on your body’s own healing power to create improvements that are noticeable but look and feel completely natural.

Each therapy begins by gathering a small sample of your blood, which is then placed into a special machine called a centrifuge that spins it very fast to separate out the platelets and growth factors your body uses to heal itself. 

For PRP therapy, the separated plasma cells are isolated, and an anticoagulant is added to create a solution that is called “golden plasma.” This solution is then carefully injected into your skin, scalp, or other areas targeted for treatment, where it helps boost collagen and repairs the cells in that area, gradually resulting in fresher, younger-looking skin and hair.

PRF therapy is a bit different because it omits the use of anticoagulants, which allows your blood to softly coagulate and act like a sponge. This causes the growth factors to be released more slowly, which gradually heals and rejuvenates the treated areas and provides longer-lasting benefits for your skin and hair.

  • Healthier Hair: PRP and PRF injections can help combat thinning hair and hair loss in a natural way by waking up dormant hair follicles, which encourages your hair to grow fuller and stronger. PRF therapy can provide you with longer lasting benefits because it releases the growth factors more slowly and gradually.
  • Lessens Dark Circles: PRF injections can help reduce the appearance of dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines under your eyes. helping you to look more rested and youthful.
  • Combining Treatments: Microneedling and PRP therapy can work together to better enhance the appearance of your skin. Microneedling creates tiny injuries in your skin (microchannels) which helps the PRP to penetrate deeper into the layers, which gradually makes your skin look smoother and more even toned, and with fewer wrinkles and fine lines.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between PRP and PRF injections?
PRP injections contain the concentrated platelets, growth factors, and a small amount of anticoagulant that keeps the blood from clotting while it is being processed, and PRF retains the natural fibrin (the natural substance that causes your blood to clot) and white blood cells, so it more slowly releases the growth factors so the results last longer.
The procedure involves drawing blood and injections, so it is considered minimally invasive and, depending on your pain threshold, may involve some mild discomfort, but this is only temporary and goes away quickly.
Most people begin to notice results within a few weeks, but the final results can take several months. Multiple sessions deliver more noticeable results and are often needed to repair more complex cosmetic concerns like acne scars.
Most patients experience little to no downtime and may experience some slight redness or swelling, which resolves within 24 to 48 hours. Using cold compresses on the treated areas and staying well hydrated will help ease the temporary discomfort.
The exact number of sessions will depend on your personal aesthetic goals, but most patients can achieve the results they are looking for with three to four sessions that are spaced several weeks apart.
