PRP and PRF are regenerative treatments made from a small sample of your own blood. After processing, the concentrated platelets and growth factors are returned to the skin or scalp to encourage repair and renewal.
Our Boston providers use these treatments, including PRP EZ Gel, for natural rejuvenation of the face and for patients experiencing early hair thinning.
Uses your own blood, so the risk of allergic reaction is very low.
Improves skin texture, tone, and glow.
Supports collagen production for firmer skin and softer fine lines over time.
Can brighten and refresh the under-eye area.
Encourages thicker, healthier hair growth.
Natural results that build gradually.
Pairs well with microneedling and other treatments for enhanced results.
PRP and PRF treatment options
Skin rejuvenation
PRP or PRF can be applied with microneedling or injected into targeted areas to improve texture, fine lines, acne scarring, and dullness. PRP EZ Gel can also restore soft volume, especially under the eyes.
Injecting concentrated platelets into the scalp can wake up weakened follicles, slow shedding, and support thicker growth for men and women with early thinning.
We discuss your skin or hair goals and review your health history.
Your provider examines the treatment area and recommends PRP, PRF, or a combination.
We outline how many sessions you’ll likely need and how far apart they should be.
Treatment
A small blood sample is drawn, much like a routine lab test.
The sample is processed to concentrate platelets and growth factors.
The concentrate is applied with microneedling or injected into the treatment area.
Afterward
Mild redness is normal.
Some swelling, tenderness, or bruising can last a day or two.
Results build over several weeks, and a series of treatments usually works best.
Who is a good candidate?
Early signs of aging: You want to soften fine lines and improve skin quality with a natural, regenerative approach.
Texture and scarring: You have acne scars, enlarged pores, or uneven texture and would like smoother skin over time.
Under-eye concerns: Dark circles or hollowing make you look tired, and you want a gentle way to refresh the area.
Hair thinning: You’ve noticed more shedding or a widening part and want to support healthier growth.
A natural preference: You’d like a treatment that uses your own biology rather than synthetic products.

Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between PRP and PRF?
Both are made from your blood. PRF is spun more gently and keeps more white blood cells and fibrin, which may release growth factors more slowly. Your provider will recommend the best option for your goals.
How many sessions will I need?
Most patients benefit from a series of three treatments spaced about four to six weeks apart, followed by occasional maintenance.
Is PRP safe?
Because PRP uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction is very low. Mild swelling, redness, or bruising can occur.
When will I see results?
Skin often looks brighter within a few weeks, with continued improvement over several months. Hair results take longer, often three to six months.
