PRP and PRF treatments are natural growth factors made with extracts from your blood. They are rich in platelets and white blood cells and work to kickstart new cell growth and collagen production. The treatments restore youth and glow to the skin by healing damaged tissue and stimulating new cell growth. PRF and PRP treatments go hand in hand with injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers. HA is a temporary dermal filler that adds volume to your skin. It corrects the effects of aging on your skin by plumping up wrinkles, smoothing out lines, and restoring volume to your skin. HA fillers also help to enhance facial contours and plump up the lips and cheeks. While HA adds volume and hydrates, it does nothing for skin quality. On the other hand, PRP and PRF injections renew skin cells and encourage collagen production. PRP and PRF are the most natural treatment options for skin rejuvenation. A combination of PRP or PRF treatments and HA fillers is more effective for improving your skin quality and the overall results of the treatments.

PRP and PRF treatments effectively treat wrinkles, improve skin tone and texture, fade dark spots, and stimulate hair growth. However, there are differences in the technical aspect and potency of platelets.
Both PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) are forms of autologous platelet concentrates, meaning they’re made from your own peripheral blood. These treatments fall under the broader category of platelet therapy and are designed to release natural growth factors that support tissue repair, collagen stimulation, and cell regeneration.
These injections are frequently paired with microneedling, used to restore volume under the eyes, improve skin texture, and treat thinning hair. Here’s a quick comparison:

When you book your free consultation online or call to schedule a visit, our professionals will walk you through a personalized treatment plan for natural beauty enhancement and youth restoration.
Depending on your needs, your 4esthetics specialist may recommend:
Your appointment begins with a small blood sample, drawn from your arm. This sample is spun in a centrifuge to separate red blood cells, white blood cells, and concentrated platelets into a usable serum.
After cleansing and prepping the injection site, we’ll carefully place the serum into targeted areas using a fine needle. Mild swelling or tenderness may occur at the injury site, but most clients return to their day with minimal interruption.
Our relationship with you doesn’t end after you visit our clinic. Instead, we will walk you through a detailed aftercare process to ensure confidence and wellness after your PRP/PRF treatments. We offer a follow-up to ensure satisfaction with your results and address any concerns as you settle into healthier, younger-looking skin.
While originally studied for use in orthopaedic surgery, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and sports medicine, platelet rich plasma PRP and leukocyte platelet rich fibrin now have a strong reputation in cosmetic procedures for their regenerative, skin-healing potential. Because these are biological therapies that harness your body’s own healing capacity, they’re ideal for clients seeking natural improvement without added hyaluronic acid or cortisone injections.
PRF injections & PRP injections treat the following problem areas:
“PRP and PRF are great options to help with skin rejuvenation as they are rich in growth factors. PRP/PRF come from the patient’s own body, so it is a very natural way to help soften lines/wrinkles, build collagen, and help with dark coloring (especially under eyes).” - Maggie Bunch, APRN
These treatments don’t just mask signs of aging—they help your skin actually heal. Benefits include:
And because platelet activation continues gradually, you’ll often see results improve over several weeks.
Most healthy adults are good candidates for PRP treatment or PRF injections, especially if you’re looking for a low-risk, natural option for facial or scalp rejuvenation.
However, we may recommend other options if you have a blood disorder or difficulty with blood clotting, are currently managing chronic tendon injuries, muscle injuries, or other musculoskeletal injuries, have active skin infections or uncontrolled autoimmune conditions, or are taking medications that interfere with platelet related biologic features or immune function.
We’ll conduct a full evaluation and customize your treatment plan to ensure it aligns with your aesthetic goals and overall health.
There’s little to no downtime after platelet therapy. You may experience mild bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection site, which usually resolves in 1–3 days. Most clients can return to daily routines immediately.
Avoid aggressive skincare treatments, direct sun, and strenuous exercise for 24 hours to help your skin begin the healing process. Because this is a regenerative injection, improvements unfold gradually as stem cells and growth factors work to restore tissue integrity.
The first visible results occur within three months, with final results visible 6-12 months later. The ultimate benefits of PRF treatments are brighter, healthier, and smoother skin. Clients often notice firmer, brighter skin, smoother tone, and—when treating hair—thicker strands and reduced shedding.
Maintenance treatments every 4–6 months may be recommended for continued support, especially when used as a preventative aging strategy.

PRF injections treat a type of hair loss called androgenic alopecia (baldness) in men and women. The treatment prevents regressive hair loss and promotes new hair growth. PRF injections also stimulate new hair growth after hair transplants.
You should complete a series of 4-6 treatments to achieve the best PRF hair treatment results. The treatment lasts up to 24 months as you enjoy new hair growth. PRF treatment is temporary. We recommend frequent touch-ups to ensure you achieve your goal.
The effects of PRF treatments last up to one year, while PRP injections last for 6-9 months. You enjoy improved skin quality and texture, more lip volume, new hair growth, and fewer dark circles.
PRP and PRF are extracted from your blood, making them safe for use. The side effects of these injections include irritation, pain, bleeding, redness, swelling, and bruising around the treatment area. They subside within a few days.
PRP and PRF serums have healing properties that target the cause of dark circles and under-eye bags. The most notable effect on dark circles and bags is collagen production. Collagen plumps up your skin to improve dark circles and makes your skin more elastic to resolve under-eye sagging.
PRP and PRF can treat numerous skin conditions like hair loss, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles and lines, sun damage, stretch marks, uneven skin tone or texture, and skin sagging.
Most clients report mild discomfort. A topical numbing agent can be used to reduce sensitivity at the injection site.
