PRF/PRP for Aesthetics & Hair Loss

Your Body Has the Blueprint. We Just Activate It.
PRF and PRP are regenerative treatments that use your own blood-derived platelets (and natural healing signals) to support collagen, skin renewal, and scalp health—helping you look refreshed and feel confident in a completely natural way.

What are PRP and PRF?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a concentrated portion of your blood plasma that contains a higher level of platelets and growth factors. In aesthetics, PRP is commonly paired with microneedling or injected in targeted areas to support skin quality and recovery.

PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is a newer platelet concentrate that forms a fibrin scaffold, which can provide a slower, more gradual release of growth factors compared with PRP.

Because these treatments come from you, there are no synthetic fillers involved—just biologically you.

What PRF/PRP can help with

For facial aesthetics

PRF/PRP is often chosen to improve overall skin quality—especially for clients who want a refreshed look without adding volume from traditional fillers. Depending on your goals, it may help support:

• Under-eye dullness / crepey texture

• Fine lines & early wrinkles

• Skin texture + “glow"

• Acne scars & uneven tone (often combined with microneedling)

For hair thinning & hair loss​​​​​​​

PRP has a growing evidence base for certain types of hair loss, especially pattern thinning. The American Academy of Dermatology notes studies showing PRP can be safe and effective for hair loss for many patients, with a treatment schedule that typically involves repeat sessions.

PRP for the scalp may help:

• Reduce shedding over the first few months

• Support thicker-looking hair over time

• Improve scalp environment for healthier growth

What to expect at your appointment

Results timeline

Skin: Many clients notice a healthy “glow” as the skin recovers, with continued improvements in texture over the following weeks as collagen support builds. Clinical research has evaluated PRP for facial photoaging and skin rejuvenation, often in combination with microneedling.

​​​​​​​Hair: The AAD notes that within the first few months, many patients notice less shedding. Visible thickening typically takes additional time because of the hair growth cycle.

Typical treatment plans (customized to you)

• PRP for Hair (common approach)

• Once monthly for 3 months, then

• Maintenance every 3–6 months

PRP/PRF for Skin

Many clients do a short series (often 2–3 sessions) and then maintain periodically based on goals and skin response. We’ll recommend timing that fits your skin, schedule, and budget.

PRP + Microneedling (“Vampire Facial”)

PRP is frequently paired with microneedling to support recovery and skin renewal. Research in dermatology has explored PRP’s role in acne scarring and skin rejuvenation, including placebo-controlled and systematic reviews.

Important: PRP/microneedling should only be performed with strict medical-grade infection control. The CDC investigated likely HIV transmission linked to PRP microneedling performed at an unlicensed spa, underscoring why training, sterility, and proper medical protocols matter.

Who is (and isn’t) a good candidate?

PRF/PRP may be a great fit if you want a natural, regenerative approach for skin quality or hair thinning.

You may need to postpone or choose a different treatment if you have an active infection, certain blood disorders, are pregnant, or are on specific blood-thinning medications. Your provider will review your history carefully during consultation.
