The Science of PRP and PRF

PRP and PRF treatments involve drawing a small amount of your blood, which is then spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets and growth factors. When injected into the scalp or skin, these "liquid gold" concentrations trigger cell turnover, collagen production, and hair follicle stimulation. While PRP provides a quick burst of growth factors, PRF acts as a slow-release system, providing longer-lasting regenerative benefits.

Why Choose Our Clinic?

At Royal Medical Spa, we use medical-grade centrifugation systems to ensure the highest concentration of platelets. Whether you are battling hair thinning or looking to brighten dark under-eye circles, our expert practitioners tailor every treatment to your specific physiological needs.

Common Applications

  • Hair Restoration: Strengthening thinning hair and dormant follicles.
  • Under-Eye Rejuvenation: Treating dark circles and hollows (The "Natural Filler").
  • Microneedling Enhancement: Applying PRP topically for faster healing.
  • Skin Texture & Tone: Reducing fine lines and improving overall radiance.
  • Scar Revision: Accelerating the healing of acne or surgical scars.
  • Facial Contouring: Using PRF to add subtle, natural volume.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the difference between PRP and PRF?
PRP releases growth factors quickly, while PRF creates a fibrin scaffold that releases growth factors slowly over several days, often leading to more robust long-term results.
2. How many sessions are required for hair growth?
We typically recommend an initial series of 3 to 4 treatments spaced one month apart, followed by maintenance sessions every 6 to 12 months.
3. Is the procedure painful?
The blood draw is like a standard lab test. The injections involve small needles and may cause a mild "fullness" sensation or slight stinging, but it is generally well-tolerated.
4. How long does the appointment take?
A standard PRP or PRF session takes about 45 to 60 minutes, including the blood draw, centrifugation, and injection time.
5. When will I see results?
For skin, results appear in 3-4 weeks. For hair restoration, visible improvements in thickness and density usually appear after the second or third session.
6. Are there any side effects?
Since we use your own blood, there is no risk of allergic reaction. You may experience temporary swelling, redness, or minor bruising.
7. Is there any downtime?
Downtime is minimal. For scalp treatments, we recommend not washing your hair for 24 hours. For skin, avoid makeup for 24 hours.
8. Can I combine PRP with Microneedling?
Yes, this is often called the "Vampire Facial." It significantly boosts the results of standard microneedling.
9. Am I a good candidate for PRP?
Most people are. However, smokers or those with certain platelet disorders may see reduced efficacy. A consultation is required.
10. How should I prepare for my session?
Hydrate well! Drink plenty of water 24 hours before your appointment to ensure a smooth blood draw and high-quality plasma.
