PRP & PRF treatments in houston, TX
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) are advanced medical treatments gaining popularity in various fields, including aesthetics, orthopedics, dermatology, and dentistry.
PRF is a 3-step process. First, we draw your blood into tubes. The number of tubes depends on the amount of surface area we want to cover. The tubes of blood are then spun in a centrifuge. This process will separate the blood cells from all the other nutrient-rich cells that we want. When the centrifugation function is complete, the top layer is collected. This layer of concentrate (PRF) is composed of your own platelets and white blood cells. We can then use the substance in multiple areas of your face for natural rejuvenation
Benefits & Results
PRF can be injected into several areas of your face to help with dark circles, tear troughs and deep folds, volume loss, wrinkles, and fine lines.
A series of 4 initial monthly treatments are recommended with a 6-month touch-up, then annual sessions for maintenance.
You may see a slight improvement after your first or second session, but you should see the optimal results after 4 sessions.
Aftercare

activated. Ice or cold compresses can be applied to reduce swelling if required.
