PRF and PRP Treatment

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatments use your body’s own growth factors and platelets to stimulate natural collagen and elastin production. These regenerative treatments improve skin texture, firmness, and overall skin health while reducing signs of aging, acne scars, under-eye hollows, and hair thinning; all with minimal downtime.

What is PRP Treatment?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment is a regenerative procedure that uses components of your own blood to stimulate collagen and elastin production, promoting healthier, more youthful skin. PRP contains concentrated platelets and growth factors that activate the body’s natural healing process and support tissue regeneration. When applied topically after microneedling or delivered through injections, PRP enhances skin texture, tone, and elasticity by boosting collagen production.

What is PRF Treatment?

Considered the next generation of PRP treatment, Platelet -Rich Fibrin (PRF) is an autologous, natural to you, treatment. Similar to PRP, PRF uses your own blood to boost collagen and elastin production, improve skin quality, and restore facial volume. What distinguishes it from PRP is its unique fibrin matrix that gradually releases growth factors; supporting longer-lasting skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime. PRF is especially effective for improving under-eye hollows and dark circles, helping create a brighter, more refreshed appearance.

What is PRF EZGEL Treatment?

PRF EZGEL is a 100% autologous treatment derived from your own blood that combines the regenerative benefits of PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) with a natural, plasma-based gel to restore volume and stimulate collagen and elastin production. It helps smooth fine lines, improve skin firmness, and rejuvenate facial areas including under-eyes, cheeks, nasolabial folds and the jawline. This natural alternative to traditional dermal fillers provides immediate volume with gradual, long-term rejuvenation.

How does PRP/PRF and EZGEL treatments work?

PRP, PRF and EZGEL treatments begin with a small blood draw, which is spun in a centrifuge to concentrate platelets and growth factors that support skin rejuvenation and tissue repair. PRP isolates platelets, while PRF also contains a fibrin matrix and white blood cells to support a gradual release of growth factors. EZ GEL is created by heating and cooling PRF into a natural gel that can be injected to soften fine lines, and restore facial volume, providing a more natural alternative to traditional dermal fillers.

PRF Under-Eye Restoration

One of the most transformative applications of PRF is under-eye rejuvenation, which targets the delicate tear trough area.

 

PRF under-eye treatment helps brighten dark shadows, soften fine lines and wrinkles, smooth crepey skin texture, and improve the appearance of under-eye hollowness to promote a naturally rested, luminous appearance.

 

PRP and PRF FAQs
  • What is a PRP/PRF and EZGEL treatment session like?

    Step 01 | The Draw
    Your session begins with a gentle blood draw to collect a small sample of your blood and a topical numbing cream may be applied for comfort.

    Step 02 | The Refinement
    Using advanced centrifugation, we isolate the purest concentration of your platelets and fibrin. Unlike traditional methods, this delicate process preserves the integrity of your growth factors for a more potent, long-lasting transformation.

    Step 03 | The Infusion
    The concentrated PRP/PRF or EZGEL is then carefully applied or injected into the targeted area to support skin rejuvenation and collagen production.

  • How is PRF EZGEL dermal filler made?

    PRF EZGEL is created by heating a portion of your plasma, the albumin, to form a gel which is then blended with PRF concentrate rich in platelets, growth factors, and white blood cells. This unique combination forms a smooth, injectable gel that provides both immediate volume replacement and longer-term collagen stimulation, offering a natural alternative to dermal fillers.

     

  • What are the side effects of PRP, PRF, or EZGEL treatments?

Things to Keep In Mind for Treatment

  1. For best results, avoid any unnecessary blood thinning medications like anti-inflammatory medications (aspirin, Advil, Motrin, ibuprofen, Aleve, naproxen, meloxicam), prednisone, fish oil, vitamin E, turmeric. For patients who take these medications as prescribed by their physician, please continue taking as you normally would.
  2. Stay well hydrated.
  3. Avoid smoking and recreational drugs.
  4. Minimize caffeine and alcohol, as they can increase the risk of bruising.
  5. Arrive to your appointment hydrated, after a healthy meal, and with a clean face.

  2. Do not touch or rub the treated area for 6-8 hours. Sleep with head elevated to reduce swelling (2 pillows).
  3. No makeup for 24 hours. Avoid ice and heat in any treatment areas for 24 hours, as it may decrease the efficacy of your treatment.
  4. Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and smoking, as these can delay healing. Avoid strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours post-treatment.
