Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) | PRF

PRP and PRF in Carlsbad, CA | Bella Glo Med Spa

Platelets are small cell fragments in the blood that play a crucial role in the body’s natural healing process.

When you cut or injure yourself, platelets rush into action, releasing growth factors that stimulate tissue repair and regeneration.

Platelet-rich plasma and platelet-rich fibrin are two innovative treatments that harness platelets’ healing abilities for various medical applications. For instance, they can rejuvenate skin and promote hair growth. These treatments are an all-natural, minimally invasive way to resolve multiple concerns by harnessing your innate healing mechanisms for optimal medical spa results.

What Are PRP and PRF?

PRP and PRF are autologous blood byproducts that contain a wealth of growth factors, but they differ in their preparation methods and composition.

  • We prepare PRP by drawing a small sample of blood and putting it through a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components. The resulting solution is rich in platelets and other bioactive proteins that promote tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and stimulate collagen production.
  • PRF is a newer generation of platelet concentrate prepared by centrifuging the blood sample without using anticoagulants. This process results in the formation of a fibrin clot that traps a higher concentration of platelets, leukocytes, and growth factors than PRP. PRF releases growth factors more slowly, which may contribute to sustained tissue regeneration and improved healing outcomes.

Hair Restoration With PRP/PRF

Hair loss and thinning hair can profoundly affect your self-esteem and overall well-being. You know how distressing this issue can be if you are frustrated by trying to cover up bald or sparse areas with hats, scarves, or hairpieces. Trust the experienced team at Bella Glo Med Spa to restore your confidence with non-surgical hair restoration. 

Injecting PRP or PRF into your scalp revitalizes dormant hair follicles, promotes hair growth, and results in thicker, healthier hair over time. By delivering essential nutrients and growth factors directly to the follicles, PRP and PRF hair restoration increases blood flow and prolongs the hair growth cycle. Platelets’ healing abilities support healthy hair growth and help you look as young and vibrant as you feel inside.

PRP and PRF therapy offer many benefits for people who want to address baldness or thinning:

  • All-natural, painless, non-surgical remedy
  • Quick procedure that takes place in our comfortable, welcoming office 
  • Safe, reliable, and produces excellent results
  • Requires no downtime for recovery

Microneedling With PRP/PRF in San Diego, CA

Combining microneedling with platelet application magnifies and accelerates the therapeutic response, achieving a younger-looking complexion without surgery. Topically applied platelets support optimal skin function and rapid cell turnover, increasing collagen production for firmer and more resilient skin. PRP and PRF improve facial volume and the skin’s overall quality, tightness, and texture. And, because it is a component of your blood, it is fully compatible with your unique body chemistry – there is no danger of an allergic reaction.

Microneedling with PRP or PRF is a relatively quick and painless procedure with little to no downtime. Typical side effects are swelling and redness, like a mild sunburn. These should resolve on their own within a few hours or days. You must apply moisturizer and sunscreen daily after getting microneedling. Your skin may feel tight, dry, or flaky as it heals, turning over old, damaged cells before revealing your newly revitalized complexion.

You will notice a smoother, brighter, younger, and more radiant appearance soon after microneedling with platelet therapy; however, your results will continue improving for months as your collagen production keeps functioning at an increased level. You may need periodic maintenance sessions depending on the extent of the skin concerns you are hoping to address. We can recommend an ideal treatment plan for you after a one-on-one evaluation and consultation.
