PRP/PRF Injections
PRP/PRF, or “Liquid Gold,” is the best way to trigger cell growth in your body. Your blood is drawn and processed, then injected for treatment. The incredible benefits of PRP and PRF can encourage hair growth, decrease the appearance of scarring, trigger the body’s production of collagen, and much more.
PRP
PRP in Prescott Valley, AZ., is produced from your blood. A concentration of platelets circulates through your blood and is critical for blood clotting. In addition, platelets and the blood’s liquid plasma portion contain many factors that are needed for cell multiplication, specialization and recruitment.
PRF
Platelet-rich fibrin is a natural way to produce more collagen. PRF in Prescott Valley, AZ, can be used either as an injection or with microneedling treatment. PRF, the second-generation PRP platelets, has leukocytes to encourage the healing of hard and soft tissues.
TREATMENTS
Facial Injections
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections in Prescott Valley, AZ, as a stand-alone treatment for the face, stimulate new collagen and enhance microcirculation and regrowth of new healthy skin. The highest quality PRP is harvested from your blood, providing a naturally occurring injectable for cellular support. The concentrated platelets and included growth factors can be utilized for facial rejuvenation, hair restoration or combined with dermal fillers for structural support.
SkinPen Microneedling W/ PRP
A PRP facial uses the technique of microneedling to deliver Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) to the deeper layers of your skin. Microneedling improves the appearance of the skin on its own. When PRP is applied together with microneedling, the results are stunning — your skin will look smoother, your complexion will improve, signs of aging will diminish, acne scars will fade, fine lines will soften, and your face will glow with a youthful radiance.
FAQs

What is PRP/PRF?
Platelet Rich Plasma, or “Liquid Gold” is the best treatment to trigger cell growth in the body. Your blood is drawn, placed in a centrifuge, and used for treatment. The amazing benefits of PRP can stimulate hair growth, diminish the appearance of scarring, encourage the body’s production of collagen, and much more.
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is the complex Fibrin Matrix that is full of Mesenchymal, leukocytes, platelets stem cells. The release of growth factors and interleukins continues for at least 10-12 days and speed-up the regeneration and healing processes. PRF is a 100% autologous rejuvenation treatment that is a step-up from PRP or Platelet-Rich Plasma treatments when growth factors are used only for a few minutes after the therapy. PRP is all-natural. No coating, additive, or anticoagulant is present in the tubes, and it is proven to release a higher concentration of growth factors for longer.
In Cosmetic surgery, PRF accelerates wound-healing, and reduces scarring. PRF used in aesthetics can be used alone or in combination with microneedling to treat:
- Hair loss
- Dark circles
- Acne scarring
- Wrinkles and fine lines
- Tear throughs and deep folds
- Brown spots (face, neck, décolleté)
- Volume loss and symmetry adjustment
