PRP & PRF in Newton, MA

PRP and PRF

What Are PRP and PRF?

Your blood carries more than most people realize. Inside it are proteins, growth factors, and signaling compounds that your body uses to heal, rebuild, and renew. PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, and PRF, or platelet-rich fibrin, are treatments that draw on exactly that.

At Longevity Lab & Aesthetics, PRP and PRF sit at the center of what regenerative care means to us. A small amount of your own blood is drawn, processed, and then returned to your skin in concentrated form. No foreign substances. No synthetic materials. Just your own biology, redirected to where your skin needs it most.

PRF treatment is the newer of the two and contains a higher concentration of platelets and white blood cells. It is held in a fibrin matrix that releases growth factors more slowly over time, which tends to produce a more gradual and sustained response than PRP treatment alone.

Treatment Areas

PRP and PRF can be applied to areas where skin quality, hair growth, or tissue health has declined over time.

Face

Fine lines, uneven texture, dullness, and early signs of aging all respond well to PRP and PRF. The treatment is typically delivered through microneedling or injections, depending on the area and goal.

Under-Eye Area

One of the most delicate and difficult areas to treat, the under-eye zone responds particularly well to PRF because of how gently and gradually it works. It improves skin quality and reduces that shadowed, tired appearance over time.

Scalp

PRP and PRF are widely used to support hair health and address thinning by delivering growth factors directly to the hair follicles. This is a natural, non-pharmaceutical option for people experiencing mild to moderate hair loss.

Neck and Décolletage

Skin quality in these areas often deteriorates faster than the face. PRP and PRF can improve texture, tone, and firmness over time.

Hands

Thinning, crepey skin on the backs of the hands improves with the collagen-stimulating effects of PRP and PRF.

Benefits of PRP and PRF

Because PRP and PRF come entirely from your own body, the response they produce is one your skin already knows how to have.

Entirely your own

There is nothing foreign in this treatment. Everything used comes from your own blood.

Stimulates real regeneration

Growth factors in PRP and PRF signal your skin to produce new collagen, improve circulation, and support tissue repair.

PRF releases slowly

Unlike PRP, PRF is held in a fibrin matrix that releases growth factors gradually, which extends the benefit over a longer period.

Addresses multiple concerns

From fine lines and acne scars to hair thinning and under-eye hollowing, both treatments cover a wide range of goals naturally.

Low risk and well-tolerated

Because the product comes from your own body, the risk of reaction is minimal.

Low downtime

Most people resume their normal routine within 24 to 48 hours.

Is This Right for You?

PRP and PRF are a good fit for people who want to improve skin quality, support hair health, or take a genuinely natural approach to regenerative care. You may be a good fit if:

You are noticing early signs of aging, dull skin, or uneven texture, and want to address them from within

You have acne scarring or skin irregularities you would like to improve naturally

You are experiencing hair thinning and want a non-pharmaceutical option to support follicle health

You want a treatment that uses nothing synthetic or foreign

You are in good general health and not pregnant or nursing

What To Expect

PRP and PRF work gradually, and the experience begins before the treatment itself. A small amount of blood is drawn at the start of your appointment, similar to a routine blood draw. It is then placed in a centrifuge that separates the platelets and growth factors from the rest. The concentrated product is then applied through microneedling or injected into the treatment area, depending on your goals.

Most people notice improvements in skin quality and texture over four to six weeks. Hair restoration results typically take longer, with meaningful changes visible after three to six months. A series of sessions is usually recommended for the best results.

Before Your Appointment

Stay well hydrated in the days leading up to your appointment, as this makes the blood draw easier. Avoid alcohol and anti-inflammatory medications like aspirin or ibuprofen for 24 hours beforehand. Arrive with clean skin and no makeup.

After Your Appointment

Avoid touching or rubbing the treated area. Skip intense exercise and heavy sweating for the rest of the day. Some redness or puffiness is normal, especially if microneedling was used, and typically fades within a day or two. Moisturize gently and avoid direct sun exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between PRP and PRF?

Both use concentrated growth factors from your own blood. PRF is processed differently and contains more white blood cells and healing proteins. It is held in a fibrin matrix that releases growth factors more slowly, which may offer a more sustained response for some people.

Can PRP and PRF be used for both skin and hair?

Yes. Many people address both skin and hair concerns with a personalized plan. Your provider will put together a schedule that fits your goals and comfort.

Is the blood draw uncomfortable?

Most people find it no different from a routine blood draw. It takes only a few minutes and requires a small amount of blood.

Does PRF under the eyes replace fillers?

Not exactly. PRF under the eyes is gentler than filler and does not add volume. Instead, it improves skin quality and reduces puffiness over time using your body’s own healing response.

Can PRP or PRF be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Both pair well with microneedling and other regenerative options. Your provider will let you know what combinations make sense for your goals.

Do you offer virtual consultations?

Yes. We are licensed in both Massachusetts and Florida and offer telehealth consultations for anyone who prefers to connect remotely before coming in.
