Growth-factor driven repair
Platelets release signaling proteins that tell fibroblasts to support collagen and elastin production.

What makes a PRP / PRF facial different?
A PRP facial starts with a small blood draw, then uses centrifuge processing to separate out platelet-rich plasma. PRF is processed more slowly and can create a fibrin matrix that releases growth factors over a longer period of time.
Both treatments are designed to work with your own biology instead of relying on synthetic fillers. They are often paired with microneedling or targeted injections when a provider determines that approach is appropriate.
At Lenox Medical Clinic, the treatment plan is based on your skin concern, downtime tolerance, and whether the goal is overall glow, textural improvement, acne scar support, or under-eye rejuvenation.
Versatile delivery
Your provider may recommend topical application after microneedling, PRP/PRF microneedling, or targeted PRF injections for specific concerns.
Natural-looking change
The goal is skin quality improvement, not frozen expression or added filler volume.
Minimal downtime
Most patients have redness and tightness for a short period, then gradual improvement as collagen remodeling builds over time.
How it works
What a typical treatment visit looks like
Step 1
Blood draw and processing
A small sample of blood is taken and spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich portion from red blood cells.
Step 2
Numbing and preparation
Topical numbing cream is applied before microneedling or injections to keep the visit comfortable.
Step 3
PRP or PRF delivery
The prepared serum is applied through the skin surface or delivered to targeted areas depending on the treatment plan.
Step 4
Recovery and aftercare
Most patients leave looking flushed or sunburned, then calm down over the next one to three days with proper aftercare.
Who it helps
Who tends to be a good candidate
A provider evaluation is still the safest way to confirm whether the treatment fits your skin, goals, and medical history.
Patients with acne scars or lingering textural irregularities.
People with fine lines, dullness, or early sagging who want a regenerative approach.
Patients considering under-eye support or treatment for tired-looking skin.
Adults who want a physician-guided option with minimal downtime.
PRP vs. PRF
How the two platelet-based treatments compare
Neither option is universally better. The right choice depends on the concern being treated, how quickly you want growth-factor release, and your provider's recommendation.
Treatment
What it does
Best fit
PRP
Liquid plasma with a quick burst of growth factors after processing.
Patients wanting a concentrated, immediate repair signal.
PRF
Slower processing preserves more structure and can release growth factors more gradually.
Thin under-eye skin, deeper recovery support, and longer-lasting signaling.
Microneedling plus PRP / PRF
Creates micro-channels so platelet-based growth factors can reach the skin more effectively.
Acne scars, textural changes, dullness, and collagen stimulation goals.
Results
How results typically build over time
Phase 1
Days 1 to 3
Expect redness, mild swelling, and a tight feeling that resembles a strong sunburn.
Phase 2
Week 1 to 2
The skin often starts to look more rested and hydrated as the early healing phase settles.
Phase 3
Week 3 to 4
Collagen remodeling becomes more noticeable and texture may begin to smooth out.
Phase 4
Months 2 to 3
This is when many patients notice the clearest glow, firmness, and textural improvement.
Frequently Asked Questions

Acne scars, under-eye support, and glow-focused treatments all get different delivery strategies.
Precision technique
Needle depth, application method, and processing approach are adjusted to the treatment area.
Realistic follow-through
We set expectations around series-based care so the results have time to build and last.
The bottom line
PRP and PRF facials are best viewed as regenerative skin treatments, not instant facials. If you want collagen support, texture improvement, and a more natural path to facial rejuvenation, this is a strong option to discuss in consultation.
