PRP PRF
PRP vs PRF
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) represent the gold standard in Regenerative Aesthetics, utilizing your body's own power to restore youthful skin.
These cutting-edge treatments use a concentrated source of your own blood, which is rich in regenerative growth factors. When reinjected into aging tissues, these powerful factors stimulate cell proliferation, collagen production, and tissue regeneration.​
​
Why We Offer Both: PRF is the Next Generation
At DrMedSpa, we offer both PRP and the next-generation PRF treatment. While both use your blood, PRF is spun at a lower speed, resulting in a unique fibrin matrix that traps the growth factors and releases them slowly over a longer period of time.
This gradual, sustained release makes PRF a superior and more potent treatment for:
-
Natural rejuvenation and restoration.
-
Improving skin texture, firmness, and volume.
-
A healthy and natural way to reverse the visible effects of aging.

FAQs
​​What is the process of PRP/PRF with Skinpen?
Your session begins with the application of a numbing cream to ensure comfort. A small blood sample is then obtained and quickly processed in a centrifuge to extract the concentrated, growth-factor-rich PRP or PRF serum. After sterilizing the treatment area, our physician uses the SkinPen® tool to stimulate the skin’s healing power. The prepared PRP or PRF serum is then immediately applied and massaged into your skin or hair. The entire process takes approximately 30 minutes and can be repeated every four weeks for enhanced results.
​
How will I feel right after the procedure?
You may notice temporary side effects like localized redness, swelling, tingling, and mild tenderness immediately following your procedure. These are normal and quickly resolve as your skin begins its rejuvenation process. Since the treatment temporarily affects the skin's lipid barrier, it is critical to use gentle, non-active skincare products to support healing. Also, for optimal results and safety, please avoid all strenuous activity for 24 hours.
​
Will one treatment be enough?
Because every client's skin health and aesthetic goals are unique, the exact number of treatments will vary. While you will see improvement after a single session, most of our clients achieve the most significant and lasting rejuvenation from a series of 2 to 3 treatments. We will design a personalized treatment plan for you during your consultation.
​
What are the effects of PRP/PRF with Skinpen?
Our clients experience two distinct phases of rejuvenation from Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) treatments:
-
Immediate Glow: You may see an immediate, temporary glow following your session due to the treatment and increased circulation.
-
Long-Term Rejuvenation: The true power of PRP/PRF unfolds over time. The concentrated plasma stimulates your skin's stem cells to produce new collagen and grow new cells in the following weeks and months. This natural cellular regeneration is why your face and hair continue to look significantly better several months after treatment.
The Natural Advantage: The primary benefit for many people is the option to use their body's own natural regenerative pathways to improve their skin, offering a safe, low-downtime alternative to synthetic fillers.
