PRP and PRF are the most natural forms of skin rejuvenation that can be injected or applied topically following micro-needling. Both PRP and PRF are sourced directly from your own blood and centrifuged (spun) to separate the red blood cells from the leukocytes and platelets that make up PRP and PRF. These platelet concentrates are known for their wound healing properties and growth factor release which work to stimulate collagen production.
PRP and PRF can be used to soften fine lines and wrinkles, reduce the appearance of loose skin and acne scars, lessen hollowing and dark circles under the eyes, and refine skin texture. Other common areas where PRP/PRF can be used include the nasolabial fold, marionette lines, lines around the eyes, deep glabellar lines (frown lines between the eyebrows), and deep forehead lines.
Where can I have PRP / PRF injected?
• Under eyes to address hollowing and dark circles
• Nasolabial folds
• Marionette lines
• Target deep and moderate glabellar lines (frown lines between the eyebrows)
• Target deep and moderate forehead lines
Frequently Asked Questions
Plasma is a component of our blood and contains proteins which help the blood clot and support cell growth. Platelets are found within our blood and are responsible for recognizing and repairing damaged cells by forming a clot. PRP treatments use the body’s own healing process to rejuvenate the skin and promote new cell growth.
During your treatment. a provider will draw blood from your arm. The small vial of blood will be placed and spun in a centrifuge to separate the red blood cells from the plasma. This process concentrates the platelet count to about 4x the normal amount. The platelet rich plasma is then applied topically or injected into the skin for treatment. PRP has been shown to help fade darkness under eyes, provide natural facial volume restoration, and even help with the texture of the skin.
SkynnGen uses the latest technology to generate Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) which is a complex Fibrin Matrix rich in Platelets and leukocytes.
In Aesthetics, PRF is used to treat alone or in combination with collagen induction therapy to treat:
Dark circles
Acne scarring
Wrinkles and fine lines
Tear throughs and deep folds
Brown spots (face, neck, décolleté)
Volume loss and symmetry adjustment
Patients require about 3-4 treatment sessions separated by 4-6 weeks. The final results will not be readily visible for 4-9 months post treatment.
For injections, bruising and swelling is possible, plan 2 weeks ahead of any events/vacations.
For microneedling with PRP/PRF, recovery lasts from 1-2 days with reddened skin, no peeling.
