PRP and PRF are obtained from each patient (autologous) and therefore are 100% natural and free of any other human, animal, or synthetic products. Numerous research and clinical studies have proven that the concentrated platelets and multiple growth factors uniquely contained in PRP/PRF have powerful rejuvenative effects in the repair and restoration of skin cells and hair follicles creating more youthful tissues as well as reduction of inflammation and improved healing.

Platelet-rich fibrin or PRF is really the second-generation concentrate compared to PRP because unlike PRP, PRF processing does not require the use of any anticoagulants.  The result is that the ‘fibrin’ produced in the PRF contains a higher concentration of powerful platelets and growth factors and, most importantly, has a considerably longer rejuvenative effect than PRP.

PRF has been shown to comprehensively improve results in treating:

• aging eyelids and dark circles or ‘hollowing’ of the lower eyelids
• fine lines and aging skin of the lips and perioral skin
• male and female hair loss, thinning the hair follicles and scalp (combined with micro-needling)
• aging skin and sun damage; PRF is utilized after chemical skin peels, laser therapy, and TIXEL skin treatments to restore a more youthful appearance and healthy skin function and reduce recovery time
• treatment of acne scars, scar tissue, excessive sun exposure, and radiation damage
• improves outcomes and reduces swelling and downtime in fat grafting

There is no pain associated with the PRF application itself, but some discomfort may be noticed with the combined or associated micro-needling, laser, or chemical peel treatment.  Topical anesthetics, local injectable nerve blocks, and pain medication are available and used as indicated to keep each patient’s treatment comfortable and well-tolerated.

The number of PRF treatments recommended must be individualized depending on each patient’s goals and the amount of rejuvenation desired.  Your EVOLV professional will make a specific recommendation following your evaluation and assessment.

As with most elective aesthetic procedures, the cost of PRF treatment will depend upon the number of tubes needed, the number of treatments or series, and the time and extent of any associated procedures combined with the PRF application.  Each patient will receive an itemized quote detailing all costs as well as the amount of PRF recommended and the number of treatments.

PRF is a cutting-edge rejuvenative therapy that concentrates each patient’s own natural growth factors and platelets to reduce inflammation, speed healing, and promote new cell growth and repair.  The advantage of the second-generation PRF is a more powerful and more sustained effect.  Reduction in redness and inflammation is usually noticed immediately and for several days after treatment.  The rejuvenation of younger and healthier skin as well as improved hair quality, less thinning, and growth is a process that is noticeable within a few months.  Optimal and long-term results are usually experienced with a series of PRF treatments.  It should be emphasized that the most natural appearing and long-lasting improvements with PRF therapy, as well as all aesthetics at EVOLV, are experienced with an ongoing medical skincare program and a healthy lifestyle.
