Blood harbors remarkable healing properties that have been the focus of medical innovations for years. At AMG Aesthetics in Tucson, AZ, we harness these properties through our PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) treatments. This method concentrates platelets and growth factors from your blood, facilitating natural rejuvenation.
Our PRF treatments can be used independently to refresh the appearance of the face or in conjunction with other treatments to enhance outcomes. All treatments at AMG Aesthetics are meticulously overseen by a multi-board-certified physician, ensuring a professional and careful approach to your aesthetic needs. By using your body’s own healing mechanisms, we help achieve subtle yet effective results.
Platelet-rich fibrin is an autologous blood concentrate that harnesses the body’s natural healing properties. PRF is derived from a patient’s own blood and is rich in platelets, leukocytes, and other beneficial components. Unlike its predecessor, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), PRF does not require additives or anticoagulants, which facilitates natural clotting and the formation of a fibrin matrix. This matrix acts as a scaffold to slowly release growth factors that promote healing and tissue regeneration.
PRF EZ Gel is a unique formulation that undergoes a specific process to enhance its regenerative properties. The process involves low-speed centrifugation, which minimizes damage to the cellular components, and a lack of anticoagulants, allowing natural fibrin formation. This method results in a gel with higher concentrations of beneficial cells and growth factors compared to traditional methods. The slow release of these elements after a platelet-rich fibrin injection provides prolonged therapeutic effects, making PRF EZ Gel a superior option for natural tissue regeneration.
Platelet-rich fibrin injections are used to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles. By enhancing the skin’s ability to regenerate tissue, this treatment smooths out skin texture and diminishes the signs of aging, providing a more youthful complexion over time.
PRF therapy addresses facial volume loss by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. The growth factors released by the concentrated platelets in PRF naturally promote volumizing effects and help restore fullness to areas like cheeks and lips.
For those experiencing hair thinning, PRF can be a beneficial treatment. It works by activating hair follicles and improving scalp health, which in turn can lead to denser hair growth and a fuller head of hair.
Platelet-rich fibrin treatments are used to sculpt and define facial features by enhancing underlying tissue growth. This non-surgical approach allows for a refined facial contour by naturally augmenting areas that may lack structural definition.
PRF injections are also applied to diminish the visibility of acne scars. The growth factors in PRF help to repair the scar tissue, promoting smoother skin and reducing the depth of indentations left by severe acne.
The PRF treatment process starts with a blood draw. The blood is then spun in a centrifuge to extract the platelet-rich fibrin. This concentrated substance is then prepared into a gel that can be applied directly to the treatment area through injection or topically to enhance natural tissue regeneration.
Results from PRF injections can vary, but patients usually begin to notice improvements within a few weeks as the growth factors start to rejuvenate the skin. Optimal results usually emerge after several treatments as the effects of PRF build on themselves and are sustained.
Yes, PRF can be effectively combined with other treatments to enhance results. Common treatments at our practice include:
A good candidate for platelet-rich fibrin treatments is typically someone looking to improve skin texture and tone without invasive procedures. Individuals with realistic expectations about the gradual improvements PRF offers are good candidates as are those who have generally healthy skin with no active skin infections.
Treatments are usually spaced around four to six weeks apart, and a series of sessions is often recommended. After several treatments, we may also recommend occasional follow-up treatments to sustain your results.
