how it works.

PRP and PRFG involve withdrawing a patient's own blood and using a centrifuge to separate the blood components.  The growth factors in the platelets from your blood are then injected, stimulating a cell response which repairs and regenerates new cell growth, helping to improve your complexion, skin texture, and pigmentation.  These same growth factors aid in slowing and reversing the signs of aging.

Platelet-rich fibrin gel (PRFG) is also a completely natural gel made from your own blood. It's also created by centrifuging a blood sample to isolate beneficial cells, but it has an added step of cooling and heating the plasma without adding any chemicals.

Heating the plasma, especially the Human Serum Albumin (HSA), changes its properties, causing it to clot into fibrin. This slows the release of growth factors and cytokines, allowing more cells and growth factors to stay alive longer and be released over an extended period in the area where it is administered.

These injections have been used for years in sports medicine to help athletes heal more quickly from injury.  This same concept helps your face, neck, and decolletage appear more youthful.

The procedures work especially well to reduce dark circles and fine lines under the eyes. A customized mixture will be chosen especially for you. In addition, PRP with or without exosomes can be used to help promote hair growth in areas of thinning or hair loss.

Due to the natural variation in the quality of platelet-rich plasma, results will vary between individuals. Some patients may require multiple sessions to obtain the desired outcomes. Please note that four to six treatments of PRP are required for hair regrowth and this process requires yearly retreatment.

  • For melasma and scarring, every 2-4 weeks; 4-6 treatments are recommended for best results

  • When added on to microneedling or a Gold Infusion, PRP further improves overall texture and tone. We’ll apply your PRP topically and needle it into the skin for even better collagen-boosting benefits. PRP injections are ideal for more targeted treatments, like brightening the under-eyes and hair restoration. Many patients choose to stack both!

  • While both harness your body’s natural regenerative abilities, PRP gel has a thicker consistency and enhances volume for even more rejuvenated, radiant results. Like PRP, PRP gel improves collagen production, texture and tone — but you’ll get the added benefits of increased skin integrity, volume and structure, too. 

  • Results are often noticeable within one week for needling treatments and within four weeks for injections. We typically recommend a series of 4-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart for best results.
