Maintenance & Follow-Up
Ongoing plan
PRP and PRF use platelets and growth factors concentrated from your own blood to stimulate collagen, healing, and hair growth. They improve skin texture, under-eye hollows, acne scars, and early hair thinning, and are often combined with microneedling. Because the material is your own, reaction risk is minimal and results build over a short series.
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) are made by drawing a small amount of your own blood and concentrating the platelets and growth factors, which are then injected or microneedled into the skin or scalp. They stimulate collagen and tissue repair to improve skin texture, under-eye hollows, acne scars, and overall glow, and are a leading non-pharmaceutical option for early hair thinning. Because the material is your own, allergic reaction risk is minimal and results build naturally over weeks.
For a practice, platelet therapies are a trust-building, autologous service that pairs beautifully with microneedling ('vampire facial'), filler, and hair-restoration protocols. The conversion challenge is that results are gradual and the patient can't see them on day one. Showing the projected improvement on their own photo — skin glow or restored hair density — and presenting it as a planned series is what supports the booking and the rebooking.

Both come from your own blood. PRF is spun more gently and contains a higher concentration of platelets and white cells in a fibrin matrix, so it releases growth factors more slowly than PRP for a longer regenerative effect.
It's microneedling combined with PRP or PRF — the platelet concentrate is applied to the skin as the needles create channels, enhancing collagen stimulation and glow.
Yes, for early thinning. Scalp injections of PRP/PRF can strengthen existing follicles and improve density over a series, often used alongside topical or oral therapies.
Expect mild swelling, redness, or tenderness for 1–3 days, especially when combined with microneedling. Because it uses your own blood, allergic reactions are very rare.
