Platelets help skin function optimally by increasing collagen, elastin, and bringing in antioxidant and hydrating properties.
PRP/PRF treatment can address conditions such as hollowness and volume loss due to reduced collagen production which can occur with age especially in areas under the eyes or around mouth. PRP is used more for microneedling or hair restoration whereas PRF is used more as a natural filler.
PRP / PRF injection appointments at MarSha MedSpa always start with a consultation with our Medical Provider to discuss viability of treatment based upon client medical history and CBC levels.
PRP / PRF Under Eye
PRF can release growth factors for up to a week post injections. This slow release is thought to have more robust, longer-lasting results. The intent of PRP (platelet rich plasma) / PRF (platelet rich fibrin) injections in under eye area is to add volume in areas that appear ‘hollow’ due to collagen loss.
The PRP/PRF injected is intended to stimulate your skin’s natural collagen production in the area to help maintain improved fullness over time. This will help with under eye bags. It will also help with dark circles that can result from ‘shadows’ created due to volume loss.
(Note: Dark circles can result from many other reasons ranging from heredity to lack of sleep, excess sodium or alcohol. PRP will not address dark circles from sources other than shadows due to volume loss).
The number of treatments needed depends upon volume loss at onset of treatment. Some patients will see results in one treatment, while others may need up 2- 3 treatments. Our providers typically recommend a follow up at 8 -12 weeks after first treatment to see if an additional treatment is needed. A maintenance treatment is recommended annually.
PRP / PRF Nasolabial Folds
PRP can be injected around the mouth in nasolabial area to add volume and decrease appearance of folds. This treatment helps stimulate your body’s own collagen production to improve facial volume and minimize the appearance of lines and folds. There is minimal chance of any adverse reaction as the platelets being injected are from patient’s own blood. Depending upon existing volume loss, 2-3 treatments may be required, spaced out by 8 weeks. Since the body loses ability to produce enough collagen with time, the goal of this treatment is to stimulate client’s own body to produce collagen on sustaining basis.
