PRP / PRF Regenerative Facial

Physician-guided skin rejuvenation using your own platelet-derived growth factors to support collagen, improve texture, and revive dull or tired-looking skin.

PRP / PRF Overview

What makes a PRP / PRF facial different?

PRP regenerative facial treatment at Lenox Medical Clinic

Regenerative treatment planned around your own biology.

A PRP facial starts with a small blood draw, then centrifuge processing separates platelet-rich plasma from red blood cells. PRF is processed more gently and can release growth factors more gradually over time.

Both options are designed to work with your own biology instead of relying on synthetic fillers. They are often paired with microneedling or targeted injections when a provider determines that delivery method best fits your goals.

At Lenox Medical Clinic, the plan is built around your skin concern, downtime tolerance, and whether the goal is overall glow, textural refinement, acne scar support, or under-eye rejuvenation.

What it supports

Growth-factor driven repair using your own biology.

Growth-factor driven repair

Platelets release signaling proteins that tell fibroblasts to support collagen and elastin production.

Versatile delivery

Your provider may recommend topical application after microneedling, PRP / PRF microneedling, or targeted PRF injections for specific concerns.

Natural-looking change

The goal is skin quality improvement, not frozen expression or added filler volume.

Minimal downtime

Most patients have redness and tightness for a short period, then gradual improvement as collagen remodeling builds over time.

Treatment Visit

What a typical PRP / PRF treatment visit looks like

01

Blood draw and processing

A small sample of blood is taken and spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich portion from red blood cells.

02

Numbing and preparation

Topical numbing cream is applied before microneedling or injections to keep the visit comfortable.

03

PRP or PRF delivery

The prepared serum is applied through the skin surface or delivered to targeted areas depending on the treatment plan.

04

Recovery and aftercare

Most patients leave looking flushed or sunburned, then calm down over the next one to three days with proper aftercare.

PRP vs. PRF

How the two platelet-based treatments compare

Neither option is universally better. The best choice depends on the concern being treated, how quickly you want growth-factor release, and your provider's recommendation.

TreatmentWhat it doesBest fit
PRPLiquid plasma with a quick burst of growth factors after processing.Patients wanting a concentrated, immediate repair signal.
PRFSlower processing preserves more structure and can release growth factors more gradually.Thin under-eye skin, deeper recovery support, and longer-lasting signaling.
Microneedling plus PRP / PRFCreates micro-channels so platelet-based growth factors can reach the skin more effectively.Acne scars, textural changes, dullness, and collagen stimulation goals.

Results Timeline

How results typically build over time

Phase1

Days 1 to 3

Expect redness, mild swelling, and a tight feeling that resembles a strong sunburn.

Phase2

Week 1 to 2

The skin often starts to look more rested and hydrated as the early healing phase settles.

Phase3

Week 3 to 4

Collagen remodeling becomes more noticeable and texture may begin to smooth out.

Phase4

Months 2 to 3

This is when many patients notice the clearest glow, firmness, and textural improvement.

The bottom line

PRP and PRF facials are best viewed as regenerative skin treatments, not instant facials. If you want collagen support, texture improvement, and a more natural path to facial rejuvenation, this is a strong option to discuss in consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common patient questions

How many sessions are usually recommended?

The number of sessions depends on your skin concern, treatment area, response, and whether the goal is glow, texture, acne scar support, or under-eye rejuvenation.

Is a vampire facial the same thing?

The phrase vampire facial is often used for microneedling with PRP, but your provider should explain the exact protocol, whether PRP or PRF is used, and how it is delivered.

Can PRP or PRF help acne scars?

PRP or PRF may support collagen remodeling and texture improvement for some acne scars, especially when paired with microneedling. Results vary by scar type and treatment plan.

Who should avoid it?

A provider may postpone or avoid treatment for certain blood disorders, active infection, pregnancy-related considerations, medication issues, or other medical factors.

Does it hurt?

Topical numbing is commonly used before microneedling or injections. Patients may feel pressure, prickling, or tenderness depending on the delivery method.
