Pre and Post Care Instructions for PRP/PRF
PRF treatment has gained immense popularity in recent years due to its remarkable benefits. This revolutionary technique utilizes the patient's own body growth factors and blood to promote tissue healing support. In this blog post, we will describe PRF therapy, explore the top six benefits of PRF treatment, and what to expect from the entire process. PRF has 10 times the growth factors as Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therefore is more therapeutic and effective in stimulating regeneration.
Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF is an autologous blood concentrate that uses your own blood to help rejuvenate your skin. PRF contains autologous growth factors that stimulate and enhance the healing response. It is used by doctors around the world to accelerate healing for various areas of the body. PRF is rapidly replacing PRP in medical spas and Ageless Aesthetics MediSpa has been utilizing PRF injections since 2018. The shift from PRP to PRF is because PRF contains more platelets per mcL. PRF also contains Leukocytes (WBC) and Mesenchymal Stem Cells that PRP does not have. With PRF, your blood is spun at a low centrifugation, then prepared for injection that allows a fibrin matrix to form. The fibrin matrix will help to keep cells more active, allowing for a longer and slower release of growth factors. The rich concentration of cells in PRF will release growth factors over a longer period of time, contributing to an ever better rejuvenation process.
What Are PRF Injection Benefits And Results?PRF can be injected into several areas of your face to help with dark circles, tear trough and deep folds, volume loss, thinning of the skin, wrinkles and fine lines, neck lines and thinning of the skin on the decolletage. At Ageless Aesthetics MediSpa, PRF injections are also used in our Hair Regrowth Treatment protocols (see our Hair Regrowth with PRF Injections and Exosome Topical Therapy page). A series of 3 to 5 treatments is recommended at 6 week intervals.
Are PRF Injections Safe?Because the Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) treatment is a byproduct of the patient's blood, disease transmission is not a concern, and the treatment is quite safe.
Other Treatments Used In Conjunction With PRF For An Enhanced Treatment.Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) when injected into the dermis or upper layers of the skin is most effective when activated. When combined with Microneedling or Radio Frequency RF Microneedling, the superficial wounds created by the microneedling will signal trauma to the system and therefore generate more of a healing mechanism in the tissue. We offer PRF injections as enhancement to be performed when receiving dermal fillers, microneedling, Radio Frequency Microneedling, Level 1, 2, and 3 Scar Treatments, and our Hair Regrowth Treatment.

What PRF Treatments Do We Offer?
Does PRF Injections Make Dermal Filler Last Longer?
The true benefit behind the combination of these two treatments is the longevity and level of results. Dermal filler provides your skin with a restored fullness in areas that have lost volume over time. The addition of PRF helps sustain those results by jumpstarting your body's own natural regenerative processes.
Can PRF Be Injected Into The Lips?
Theoretically yes, however, you should know that when injected into the lips PRF creates extreme swelling.
