Depending on if you’re getting PRF Microneedled, injected into your scalp for hair restoration, or delivered to areas to treat volume loss (think: undereyes); the treatment time varies.

When you book your first appointment we can help you determine how much time to allot. Typically from walking in the office to walking out, you can plan on 45 minutes to an hour.

The procedure is virtually painless and relies on a simple blood draw utilized in everyday blood labs.

In fact, it has scientifically been shown that when PRF is added to regenerative procedures, a significant decrease in post-operative pain, chance of infection, and complication rate are all decreased when PRF is utilized.

PRFM (Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix) offers several benefits for addressing hair loss:

1. Natural Regeneration: PRFM harnesses the body's natural regenerative capabilities. By using the patient's own blood components, it promotes hair growth without the need for synthetic substances.

2. Non-Surgical Approach:PRFM is a minimally invasive procedure, making it a non-surgical alternative for individuals seeking to restore hair without the associated risks and downtime of surgery.

3. Improved Hair Quality: PRFM stimulates the growth of thicker and healthier hair. It can be particularly effective for individuals with early signs of hair thinning, as it revives dormant hair follicles.

4. Safe and Well-Tolerated:Since PRFM is derived from the patient's own blood, there is a minimal risk of allergic reactions or side effects. This makes it a safe and well-tolerated treatment option.

5. Long-Lasting Results: The results of PRFM for hair restoration can be long-lasting, reducing the need for frequent treatments and providing a cost-effective solution.

6. Versatile: PRFM can be used for both men and women and is adaptable for various stages of hair loss, making it a versatile option for addressing hair thinning or loss.

In summary, PRFM offers a natural, non-surgical, and effective solution for individuals seeking to rejuvenate and regrow their hair. The regenerative power of PRFM promotes the growth of thicker, healthier hair, providing a safe and long-lasting option for hair restoration.

PRF stands for Platelet-Rich Fibrin, which is a concentrated form of platelets and growth factors derived from a person's own blood.

It promotes healing, tissue regeneration, and cellular growth.

PRF is often employed in non-surgical procedures, such as PRF microneedling and PRF for hair restoration, to stimulate collagen production, rejuvenate the skin, and encourage hair growth. Additionally, Estima offers PRF EzGel to address undereye concerns.

Because PRF is derived from the patient's own blood, it is considered a safe and natural treatment option with minimal risk of allergic reactions or side effects.

Although PRF may seem new to some, we consider it, “second-generation PRP”. Dr. Rosales, MD & Alejandra R. Cohen, APRN have been utilizing PRP/PRF since 2019 to address concerns of skin texture, aging, wrinkles, fine lines, hair loss, hair thinning, and more.

Because of their experience, we’ve been able to see the improvements and results of PRF treatments.

PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) can help with hair loss by leveraging its rich concentration of platelets and growth factors, which have regenerative properties.

Platelet and Growth Factor Concentration: PRF is prepared from the patient's blood. It contains high levels of platelets, which are small cell fragments in the blood, and growth factors. Platelets are vital for blood clotting and contain numerous proteins that play key roles in tissue repair, regeneration, and healing.

Application to Scalp: The activated PRF, rich in platelets and growth factors, is carefully injected to the scalp in the areas with hair loss or thinning.

Hair Follicle Stimulation: PRF's growth factors stimulate the dormant hair follicles in the treated area, increasing blood circulation to the follicles and encouraging them to produce thicker, healthier hair. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with early-stage hair loss.

Enhanced Hair Quality: PRF treatment not only promotes new hair growth but also improves the quality of existing hair. Hair can become thicker and more robust.

Natural Approach: Since PRF is derived from the patient's own blood, it is a safe and natural way to address hair loss. There is minimal risk of allergic reactions or side effects.

PRF offers a non-surgical, science-based solution for hair loss by capitalizing on the body's innate regenerative mechanisms to stimulate hair growth and enhance hair quality.

PRF Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that combines Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) with microneedling, a minimally invasive skin treatment. It is designed to improve skin texture, reduce signs of aging, and stimulate collagen production.

Here's how PRF Microneedling works:

Preparation: The procedure begins with a small blood draw from the patient, similar to a routine blood test. The collected blood is then processed to isolate PRF, a substance rich in platelets and growth factors.

Microneedling: Microneedling involves the use of a device with fine, tiny needles. These needles create micro-injuries in the skin's surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the body's natural wound healing response.

PRF Application: The PRF is applied topically onto the skin before and immediately after the microneedling procedure. This allows the growth factors and other beneficial substances in PRF to penetrate the microchannels created by the microneedling.

Stimulation of Collagen and Healing: The combination of microneedling and PRF stimulates collagen and elastin production, two essential proteins for maintaining skin structure and elasticity. As the micro-injuries heal, the skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more youthful.

Results: PRF Microneedling can lead to improved skin texture, reduced fine lines and wrinkles, diminished scars, and an overall rejuvenated appearance. The results are natural and long-lasting.

Minimal Downtime: The downtime after PRF Microneedling is typically minimal, with mild redness and swelling that usually subside within a few days. Patients can often return to their regular activities shortly after the procedure.

PRF Microneedling is a versatile and effective treatment that can address a range of skin concerns, including aging signs, scars, and uneven skin texture. It harnesses the body's regenerative properties to promote skin rejuvenation and is considered a safe, non-surgical option for those seeking to enhance their natural beauty.

Estima PRF EZGEL is a 100% autologous and natural gel material, obtained through centrifugation of a whole blood sample to isolate beneficial cells, then subjected to a cooling and heating process, without any chemical addition nor modification.

By heating up Plasma, particularly HSA, we're modifying its rheological properties. Temperature variation is the most natural way to create an intermolecular bond, without using any additives such as BDDE for cross linking.

Once this process is complete, we inject this ‘natural filler’ to specific areas to address not only volume loss but skin laxity, integrity, and health as well (good-bye crepey skin)!

Absolutely. Because the purity and healing nature of PRF is incredibly beneficial, it is common to see it applied on the skin directly after more intense treatments such as radio-frequency microneedling.

This allows your skin to jump start the recovery process and give you even less down time.
