PRP/PRF
What Are PRP and PRF?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) are advanced regenerative treatments that use your body’s own blood components to support natural healing, rejuvenation, and tissue repair.
Both therapies begin with a small blood draw. The blood is processed to concentrate platelets and growth factors that help stimulate collagen production, cellular renewal, and improved skin or scalp health.
At Rose MedSpa, PRP and PRF are selected based on your goals — whether for skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, or enhanced healing — with a focus on natural, long-lasting results.
What Is the Difference Between PRP and PRF?
While PRP and PRF are similar, they differ in how they are processed and how long they remain active in the body.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
PRP is created by spinning blood at a higher speed, separating the platelet-rich plasma from other components. It delivers a concentrated burst of growth factors and is commonly used for:
Skin rejuvenation
Hair restoration
Combination treatments (such as microneedling + PRP)
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)
PRF is processed more slowly and without additives, allowing it to retain a higher concentration of platelets, white blood cells, and fibrin. This creates a natural scaffold that releases growth factors more gradually over time. PRF is often chosen for:
Under-eye rejuvenation
Areas requiring longer-lasting support
Enhanced tissue repair and collagen stimulation
Your provider will recommend the most appropriate option based on your treatment area and desired outcome.
How Do PRP and PRF Work?
After processing, PRP or PRF is carefully applied or injected into targeted areas. The growth factors stimulate the body’s natural repair response by:
Encouraging collagen and elastin production
Improving skin texture and tone
Supporting hair follicle health
Enhancing healing following other treatments
Because both therapies use your own biological material, results develop gradually and appear natural rather than artificial.
What Can PRP and PRF Help With?
PRP and PRF may be used to support:
Skin rejuvenation and improved texture
Fine lines and early signs of aging
Under-eye hollowness (PRF)
Hair thinning or hair loss
Enhanced recovery after microneedling or laser treatments
These treatments work from within, helping skin and tissue renew naturally over time.
What Happens During the Treatment?
Your appointment begins with a brief consultation and blood draw, similar to routine lab work. Once your PRP or PRF is prepared:
The treatment area is cleansed and numbed if needed
PRP or PRF is gently injected or applied
When combined with microneedling, the solution is applied after micro-channels are created to enhance absorption
Most sessions take 30–60 minutes, depending on the treatment area and whether it’s combined with other procedures.
Is PRP or PRF Painful?
Discomfort is typically minimal. Topical numbing cream is used to ensure comfort, and most clients describe the sensation as mild pressure or light pinching during injections. Our clinicians take a careful, gentle approach throughout the session.
erious side effects are rare. Your provider reviews your medical history beforehand to ensure safety and a positive experience.
Are There Side Effects?
Because PRP and PRF are derived from your own blood, side effects are generally mild and temporary. These may include:
Redness
Swelling
Tenderness at the treatment site
These effects usually resolve within 24–48 hours and are part of the natural healing response.
What Should I Do Before My Appointment?
To prepare for PRP or PRF treatment:
Stay well hydrated
Avoid alcohol 24 hours before treatment
Avoid blood-thinning medications unless otherwise directed by your provider
Your clinician will review your medical history to ensure the treatment is appropriate and safe.
What Should I Do After Treatment?
After your session:
Avoid strenuous activity for the rest of the day
Keep treated areas clean and protected
Use gentle skincare products as recommended
Apply sunscreen daily if treating facial areas
Following aftercare instructions helps optimize healing and results.
When Will I See Results?
Results develop gradually as your body responds to the growth factors. Some clients notice early improvements within one to two weeks, with continued enhancement over several weeks.
Because PRF releases growth factors more slowly, results may continue to improve over a longer period compared to PRP.
