PRF/PRP

Research is showing that even higher concentrations of platelets, as well as a concentration of white blood cells and stem cells is a more effective mix. That’s what PRF delivers. To create PRF the blood is spun at a lower speed so that the layers of the blood do not separate out as distinctly. This allows some of the white blood cells and stem cells to remain within the platelet layer, instead of being separated. This gives PRF more healing factors than PRP. Plus, the lower centrifuge speed causes less trauma with the individual cells involved.

Another difference is the final concentration of platelets in PRP and PRF. PRP ends with 2 to 5 times the level of platelets found in normal blood. Higher concentrations are more effective, and PRF contains approximately 10 times the platelet concentration when compared with normal blood.

Also, PRF does not contain any additives, whereas an anticoagulant is used during the processing of the blood when making PRP. Without the anticoagulant, PRF takes the natural fibrinogen within our blood and it is converted to fibrin by thrombin in the early stages of clot formation. This creates a spongy fibrin matrix that activates the platelets that acts as a scaffolding to keep the growth factors and stem cells in the area they are injected, keeping them from diffusing, which can happen with PRP. So in general PRF is showing much better and long lasting results then PRP!

PRF can be used to inject under the eyes to help under eye darkness, bags, and circles, it can also be injected in the lips to help stimulate collagen for a  natural plumpness, and it can also be injected into the smile lines to help produce collagen and plump that up as well. For a full face rejuvenation you can also inject little tiny areas all over the face for a full face plumpness and glass doll look, and for more information on that please see under the tabs of mesotherapy. 

There are absolutely no side effects or risks when injecting PRF as it is completely safe and also very effective as it comes from your own body! It is a great option for those that are nervous about under eye filler and filler in general but want to help stimulate your natural collagen and growth factors. This does require a small series of sessions to get the best results so you do need to be a little more patient as this is not instant results like filler, but the results are coming from a natural source from within and are amazing! 

$300 a session- can be used for just under eyes or split up between different facial areas for this price. May also use as mesotherapy technique (see meso tab). Email me for recommendations.

**RF Microneedling is included for under eye and smile line injections (spot treat) for even better results and tightening! 

Please see RF Microneedling tab to see info and prices.

The Golden facial creates instant restoration to the skin by using PRF as a topical mask during your facial. The name comes from the golden color that PRF is once all red blood cells are removed and the plasma is left by itself.  PRF leaves behind a potent golden-colored elixir that feeds the skin nutrients.

This treatment harnesses the healing power of platelets and growth factors from your own blood to stimulate collagen production and skin regeneration. The treatment can help slow and reverse the signs of aging. Can help with fine line and wrinkles, dull complexion, dehydrated skin, pigment discoloration, acne scarring, and rosacea.

In this golden facial we start with a basic skin cleanse, then a dermaplane of the face and neck, a light microdermbrasion to clean out the pores, and finally ended with drawing your blood, spinning it until we get the Golden PRF, and put the PRF as a mask on the face.

If you are experiencing hair loss, you’re basically a good candidate for PRF hair restoration. However, the growth factors, white blood cells, stem cells, and platelets in the PRF work best when awakening dormant hair follicles. These hair follicles are still healthy and capable of growing hair, but they are spending more and more time in dormant phase. That’s why PRF hair restoration works best when the patient notices early hair loss.

PRF works well for both men and women, especially those in the early stages of hair loss. It also is effective for women with traction alopecia, hair thinning caused by hairstyles that pulled the hair to an extreme degree and inhibited hair growth. It is also a good procedure for people whose hair is thinning but who don’t want to resort to taking medications regularly.

The Stages:

The hair follicles need to stop transitioning for longer periods into the dormant/resting phase of the hair growth cycle. Then the follicles need to be given the growth factors, stem cells, and platelets to revive them and get them to return to the growth phase.

You’ll first see a marked decrease in hair thinning and shedding. Next, you’ll see real hair growth usually in the first two to three months. More then one session will need to be done to get full results and will depend on your body's speed and ability with regrowth!
