Here at the L.A.B. med spa, we are thrilled to offer treatments that utilize PRF (Platelet Rich Fibrin), the next generation of platelet rich plasma. PRF is formulated with high concentrations of your own white blood cells and fibrin. Through PRF, you can improve your skin and hair in a safe, natural, and effective way. Let’s take a closer look at what our revolutionary PRF treatments entail.
PRF injections can do wonders for your skin. They can treat fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, dullness, and more. During the treatment, one of our expert technicians will draw a small sample of your blood and place it into a centrifuge to separate the red blood cells from the PRF. Next, they’ll inject the PRF into the appropriate areas of your face and leave you with beautiful results that may last for up to 1 year. Multiple treatments will likely be necessary to meet your desired goals.
If you’re facing hair loss or thinning hair, PRF can help by stimulating the stem cells in the inactive hair follicles and promoting new hair growth. Once an expert technician draws a sample of your blood and uses a centrifuge to separate your red blood cells from PRF, they’ll inject it into your scalp and awaken your follicles. While PRF scalp injections will initially improve hair thinning and shedding, they’ll eventually produce real hair growth, within 2 to 3 months. A series of treatments will likely be required to achieve optimal results.
Microneedling with PRP uses your own platelet-rich plasma to reduce signs of aging and leave you with a fresh, rejuvenated appearance. It takes traditional microneedling up a notch because it has the power to further stimulate collagen production and accelerate the healing process.
You may be a good candidate for Biologics if you:
While the treatment you choose will dictate how long it lasts, you’ll likely be in and out within 1 hour.
After a Biologics treatment, you’ll enjoy younger, tighter, brighter, and smoother skin and/or increased hair growth as well as thicker, fuller hair.
Immediately following a treatment, you may notice some temporary side effects such as redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness, numbness, lumpiness, and/or a feeling of pressure or fullness in the treated area for up to 7 days.
If you experience any pain or discomfort, you may take Tylenol or a similar product. We suggest that you do not apply ice to the injected area or take Ibuprofen for the first 72 hours as it acts as an anti-inflammatory. This could decrease the effects of the procedure, in this instance swelling is good.
We also recommend that you avoid intentional and direct sunlight for 24 hours. In addition, do not touch or scrub your injection sites or wash your treatment area until the next day. Refrain from direct heat (sauna, hot yoga, strenuous exercise) for 24 hours after treatment.
If you’d like, you can apply makeup immediately after treatment. Wait at least 1 week after treatment before you receive facials, facial massages, or laser treatments.
