PRF
At our medically-driven medspa, we offer advanced bioregenerative therapies to restore your cellular health and deliver a noticeably more youthful-looking appearance. PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) is an evolution of PRP (platelet-rich plasma), delivering more substantial and longer-lasting results using your body's natural growth factors to induce and support natural rejuvenation. Learn about what makes PRF superior to PRP, and schedule your consultation to talk to our aesthetic specialists about how you can achieve an impeccably rejuvenated look.
Our Monmouth County and Eatontown Aesthetics practice serve patients throughout the area, including Rumson, Little Silver, Deal, Long Branch, Asbury Park, Spring Lake, Middletown, and Ocean County, New Jersey.
Unlike synthetic fillers, PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) involves injectable treatments that utilize components within your blood to rejuvenate the skin. However, PRF goes further to maximize your body's natural healing capabilities. While PRP focuses on concentrated platelets, PRF also incorporates white blood cells, stem cells, and a fibrin matrix. This fibrin scaffold provides a longer-lasting structure for growth factors released by the platelets, leading to more sustained and potentially more dramatic results in collagen production, wound healing, overall skin rejuvenation, and even hair regrowth.
We are passionate about providing our patients with the most advanced and truly beneficial treatment options. We are happy to offer a comprehensive, natural approach to skin revitalization with PRF. Biofillers like PRF offer an excellent alternative to synthetic fillers and other treatments.
The PRP and PRF treatment processes are nearly the same, with only a slight difference in how the blood sample is processed. The entire treatment takes about one hour and allows you to immediately return to your regular routine.
PRF tackles a range of cosmetic concerns associated with skin aging, sun damage, and even scarring:
PRF is most commonly used as a facial rejuvenation treatment. However, depending on your specific concerns, it can be applied to other areas of the body. In addition to its skin benefits, PRF can also be injected into the scalp to promote hair growth.
PRF facials offer a convenient and comfortable way to achieve noticeable skin rejuvenation without disrupting your daily routine. Here's a breakdown of the benefits of a PRF facial versus other rejuvenating treatments:
PRF facials are minimally invasive, meaning you can return to your daily activities right after the treatment.
PRF facials are quicker in-office procedures than surgical procedures or even some laser treatments. The blood draw, preparation, and injection process can often be completed within about an hour.
PRF uses your own cells to promote collagen production, leading to subtle, gradual, and natural-looking improvements in your skin's texture and appearance. There's no risk of an "overdone" look.
The injections used in PRF facials are typically well-tolerated, and topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand to minimize any discomfort.
Since PRF offers long-lasting results, you may need fewer treatments than other options. The frequency depends on your needs and goals, but follow-up sessions are usually spaced out over months.
PRF is derived from your body, so it poses significantly less risk of adverse effects.
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is ideal for patients seeking skin or hair rejuvenation without significant downtime, synthetic fillers, or other products. It is excellent on its own but can also benefit patients undergoing other surgical and non-surgical treatments as it promotes healing and overall rejuvenation.
For most patients, recovery after PRF injections is minimal. There is no notable downtime so you can return to your daily routine immediately after your appointment. While side effects are mild, you may experience some swelling, redness, or tenderness around injection sites. As with any injectable treatment, it is important to keep your injection sites clean to prevent infection.
As cellular regeneration occurs, you will notice subtle and gradual rejuvenation in treated areas. Most patients notice skin improvements within about two weeks; however, your results will continue to develop for about three months. You can maintain your results with regular treatments spaced six months apart.
When will I see the results from PRF hair restoration?
You may notice a minor increase in hair growth within just a few weeks of your treatment. But, because results are gradual, you should expect a significant difference in your hair growth within several months. At this point, you can look forward to enhanced hair growth and density as well as a substantial reduction in hair loss in treated areas. While results can last up to a year, you can space your PRF hair treatments according to your needs.
PRF offers more potent and longer-lasting rejuvenation than PRP, making it more effective and practical.
Due to its comprehensive benefits, PRF is an excellent undereye filler, restoring lost volume, enhancing skin elasticity, reducing the appearance of dark circles, and reducing the appearance of bags.
Because it is so well-tolerated and supports cellular repair, PRF can be incorporated into virtually any aesthetic treatment plan. When applied topically after microneedling or laser skin resurfacing, PRF can reduce healing time and enhance results.
Patients who smoke or take certain medications may not be candidates for PRF. It is important to disclose your medical history during youR consultation to ensure you receive the safest and most beneficial treatment for your needs.
