At Wise Aesthetics in Carmel, IN, we offer naturally-based treatments that rely on the growth factors in each patient’s blood to fight the aging process and address different skin conditions and cosmetic concerns. PRF contains growth factors from the blood that promote healing and regeneration when re-administered to different areas of the face and body and can reverse the aging process in different ways.
What Is PRF?
PRF stands for platelet-rich fibrin. It’s found in the blood and contains growth factors and regenerative properties that can accelerate healing and promote anti-aging benefits. It’s similar to the popular PRP, which stands for platelet-rich plasma, but the primary difference between the two is that platelet-rich fibrin contains a higher concentration of growth factors, which, when used during cosmetic treatments, enhances the treatment results.
Unlock Your Body’s Healing Potential
If you’re ready to unlock the healing properties found in your blood and use them to reverse the aging process, restore healthy hair, accelerate the healing process, or treat cosmetic concerns, we can design a treatment plan that’s right for you.
Platelet-rich fibrin is derived from the patient’s blood before the treatment process begins. This process is quick and virtually painless and is identical to a standard blood draw. Once we have a blood sample, we place it in a device called a centrifuge.
The preparation process relies on centrifugation to spin the blood, capitalizing on the effect of gravitational forces to isolate the platelet-rich fibrin from the rest of the blood. Then, we can prepare it for treatment, whether for topical application or as an injectable treatment.
PRF treatments can improve the skin and help heal the body in many ways. They can reverse aging, promote healing, reverse hair loss, stimulate cell growth, and increase natural collagen production. Other treatment benefits include the following:
- Patients won’t experience any adverse or allergic reactions after treatment
- Treatments are naturally based
- Treatments promote increased collagen and elastin production
- Results are long-lasting
- Treatments are versatile and can promote anti-aging benefits in different areas of the face and body
The best candidates for PRF treatments are patients who want to use the natural healing powers found within their blood to address specific cosmetic concerns.
Most patients qualify as treatment candidates because there’s no risk of an allergic reaction after the treatment since the platelet-rich fibrin is derived from each patient’s blood, and patients cannot be allergic to their own blood. We can help determine which of our PRF treatments is right for you at your initial consultation.
PRF Injections – $500+
One of the goals of PRF therapy is to increase the body’s natural collagen and elastin production. We can inject it directly into various areas to promote a healthier, tighter, and rejuvenated dermis. Injections into different areas of the face can promote anti-aging results, increasing skin volume to treat hollow areas and volume loss, erasing dark circles beneath the eyes, reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and improving skin elasticity.
These injections effectively work like an alternative dermal filler, but they can also be combined with dermal filler treatments for enhanced results.
Some patients experience darker pigment in the tear trough area that makes them feel self-conscious about their appearance. We can use platelet-rich fibrin injections to treat this dark pigmentation to increase natural collagen production and blood supply to the area.
The result is thicker, tighter, and younger-looking skin. While individual results do vary, patients can expect the best results after undergoing three treatments with four weeks between each.
We can also use platelet-rich fibrin injections to stimulate hair growth. Patients who have experienced decreased quality hair, thinning, shedding, patchiness, or hair loss can undergo a platelet-rich fibrin hair restoration treatment plan to naturally stimulate hair growth. Injections into specific areas of the scalp will stimulate growth factors and promote the body’s natural healing response, resulting in fuller and healthier-looking hair.
Not only can we use these injections for cosmetic concerns, but they can be injected into different body areas, including the scalp, hands, arms, and legs, to stimulate cell growth and accelerate the healing process.
Microneedling with PRF
Microneedling is a treatment that increases natural collagen production by creating tiny injuries on the skin’s surface with hair-thin needles. It can treat and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, loose skin, large pores, hyperpigmentation, stretch marks, and uneven skin texture. One of the ways that we can enhance the results of a microneedling treatment is by adding platelet-rich fibrin to the treatment process.
Microneedling increases the skin’s absorption rate. Each tiny microchannel created by the needles in the device extends into the deeper layers of the skin. During and shortly after the treatment, the skin’s absorption rate dramatically increases, and we can capitalize on this by applying platelet-rich fibrin topically to absorb into the skin.
When we combine microneedling with platelet-rich fibrin, we accelerate the healing process and help patients achieve firmer skin, a youthful and rejuvenated appearance, and improved skin texture and tone.
The best candidates for PRF treatments are patients who want to use the natural healing powers found within their blood to address specific cosmetic concerns.
Most patients qualify as treatment candidates because there’s no risk of an allergic reaction after the treatment since the platelet-rich fibrin is derived from each patient’s blood, and patients cannot be allergic to their own blood.
