Understanding PRP and PRF: How Both Work
What is PRP?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a natural regenerative treatment that uses your body’s own healing properties to rejuvenate the skin and stimulate hair growth. A small amount of your blood is drawn and processed in a medical centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, which are rich in growth factors. These growth factors are then applied or injected into the treatment area to promote tissue repair, collagen production, and cellular regeneration.
Because PRP is created from your own blood, it is a safe treatment with minimal risk of allergic reactions.
How PRP Works:
Platelets contain powerful growth factors that help repair damaged tissue and stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin. Once PRP is injected into the skin, it activates the body’s natural healing response, resulting in healthier, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. For hair restoration, PRP nourishes weakened hair follicles, improves blood circulation to the scalp, and encourages thicker, healthier hair growth.
What is PRF?
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is an advanced regenerative treatment that uses your body’s own blood to naturally stimulate collagen production, improve skin quality, and support tissue regeneration. PRF is considered the next generation of PRP because it contains a higher concentration of platelets, white blood cells, stem cells, and fibrin—all without the use of anticoagulants or additives.
The fibrin matrix allows growth factors to be released gradually over several days, providing longer-lasting regenerative effects.
How PRF Works:
After a small blood sample is collected, it is processed using a slower centrifuge technique that preserves more healing cells and creates a natural fibrin scaffold. When PRF is injected into the skin or under the eyes, it slowly releases growth factors that stimulate collagen production, improve circulation, and regenerate healthy tissue over time. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, PRF improves your skin naturally rather than simply adding volume.
Key Difference:
PRP delivers growth factors quickly for visible early results. PRF releases them slowly over 1–2 weeks, creating a longer-lasting regenerative effect with deeper tissue support.

Your PRP and PRF Treatment Experience
What to Expect During Treatment
During your PRP or PRF treatment, our team will draw a small sample of blood from your arm. This sample is then processed using a centrifuge to concentrate the growth factors. The resulting plasma is then carefully injected or applied to your treatment areas to stimulate healing and rejuvenation.
A typical session takes 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the areas being treated.
Treatment Protocol
Most patients benefit from an initial series of 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
This allows collagen remodeling to progress naturally and produce visible improvements.
After your initial series, maintenance sessions are recommended every 6–12 months to sustain results.
Results Timeline
- Weeks 1–2: Mild glow and skin refreshment as initial healing begins
- Weeks 2–4: Skin texture and tone improvement become noticeable
- Weeks 4–8: Collagen production accelerates; fine lines soften
- Weeks 8–12: Peak results as new collagen fully integrates; skin firmness and elasticity improve significantly

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about PRP – PRF Treatment
How long do PRP and PRF results last?
Results build gradually over 8–12 weeks and typically last 12–18 months. To maintain your results, most clients schedule maintenance sessions every 6–12 months. Individual results vary based on age, skin quality, and lifestyle factors like sun exposure.
Is PRP or PRF better for under-eye treatment?
PRF is often preferred for the under-eye area because it releases growth factors slowly over 1–2 weeks, allowing for deeper tissue regeneration and better treatment of hollowness and dark circles. However, PRP can also be effective for under-eye concerns. During your consultation, we’ll recommend the best option for your specific goals.
How many treatments do I need?
Most clients benefit from an initial series of 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. This allows time for collagen remodeling and produces noticeable results. After the initial series, maintenance sessions every 6–12 months help sustain your results.
Can I combine PRP or PRF with other treatments?
Yes, PRP and PRF can be combined with other treatments to enhance results. However, we recommend waiting 2–4 weeks between treatments to allow proper healing. During your consultation, our team will discuss combination treatment options that align with your goals.
What are the side effects of PRP and PRF?
Side effects are minimal since both treatments use your own blood. Most clients experience mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity for 24–48 hours. Bruising is rare but possible at injection sites. These effects resolve quickly with proper aftercare (avoiding sun, staying hydrated, using gentle skincare).
Am I a good candidate for PRP or PRF?
Most people are good candidates if they are healthy and have no active skin infections or bleeding disorders. However, if you’re on blood thinners, pregnant, nursing, or have recently taken Accutane, you may need to wait or discuss options with our team. A consultation will determine if PRP or PRF is right for you.
