Platelet Rich Plasma
PRF or “Vampire Facial”
PRF stands for Platelet Rich Plasma, and it’s a highly effective treatment for Skin Rejuvenation and hair restoration. The three-step treatment involves drawing blood, processing it to extract the platelet-rich plasma, and then injecting it back into the skin or scalp. The PRP extracted from your own blood is full of growth factors, vitamins and essential proteins that help your skin regenerate and stimulates your hair follicles to regrow your hair.
PRF with Microneedling
PRF is a great complement to microneedling treatment. Aesthetica offers them in tandem. Microneedling stimulates collagen production and when combined with PRP the results are even better resulting in beautiful skin texture, more firmness and a more even skin tone.
How it Works
The patient’s blood is extracted, placed in a centrifuge, and platelets are isolated and collected. PRP reintroduces the platelet-rich plasma to the skin and hair follicles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does PRF hurt?
A numbing cream is applied 20-30 minutes before the procedure, making it comfortable for patients. Minor redness and bruising may follow the procedure, but those symptoms typically resolve in a few days.
Is PRF safe?
PRF treatment is considered safe, with the only major risk being infection at the injection sites. Infection, however, is very rare.
How long do the results last?
PRF Facial treatments will help improve skin texture and improve wrinkles, so a series of treatments are recommended. Hair growth is permanent but we may recommend additional sessions based on patient’s goals. if patients return regularly for sessions. Ideally, injections should be repeated once a month for three months, and then once every three to six months after that.
