Contact UsOur PRF and PRP Services at a Glance
JASI Skin + Wellness Med Spa offers platelet-rich fibrin and platelet-rich plasma, two distinct regenerative modalities that work differently and are not interchangeable. Both draw on your own blood to activate the body's natural repair pathways, but they are not the same thing, and choosing the right one matters.
PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is processed at a higher spin speed to concentrate platelets and growth factors in a liquid form. PRF, or platelet-rich fibrin, is spun more slowly, preserving a fibrin matrix that releases growth factors gradually over time. That slower release gives PRF a longer regenerative window, which makes it especially effective for skin rejuvenation and hair restoration in Los Angeles. PRF is also commonly paired with microneedling to drive growth factors deeper into the skin.
Los Angeles patients live with intense, year-round UV loads and some of the highest ambient particulate levels in the country, a combination that accelerates photoaging faster than most climates. We see this pattern often in patients who commute daily on the 405 and 10 freeways or spend weekends outdoors from Griffith Park to the coast: sun-driven collagen breakdown paired with oxidative stress from traffic-heavy air. Platelet-derived therapies address that damage at the cellular level rather than masking it. Our clinic carries a 5.0 rating across 320 five-star reviews from patients who have completed skin, scalp, and under-eye protocols with us.
What Are PRF and PRP Treatments, and How Do They Work?
Both platelet-rich plasma and platelet-rich fibrin start with something you already have: your own blood. A small sample is drawn, processed in a centrifuge, and transformed into a concentrated regenerative solution. Nothing synthetic. No foreign substances. Just your biology, amplified.
How PRP Is Prepared and How It Works
At our Los Angeles clinic, PRP preparation begins with a standard blood draw that is spun at high speed to separate its components. The resulting concentrate contains platelets and growth factors at levels significantly above your baseline. Anticoagulants are added during preparation to keep the sample fluid for injection, but this also limits how long the growth factors stay active in the tissue once delivered.
PRP releases its growth factors relatively quickly. You get an initial burst of regenerative signaling, which is effective, but the activity window is shorter compared to what PRF delivers.
How PRF Differs from PRP
Platelet-rich fibrin is a second-generation platelet concentrate. No anticoagulants are used, so the platelets naturally form a fibrin matrix, a scaffold-like structure that holds growth factors in place and releases them gradually over seven to ten days. That slow release is the key clinical difference.
PRF also contains leukocytes and stem cells not typically found in standard PRP preparations. This adds another layer of regenerative activity, making PRF particularly well-suited for skin rejuvenation and follicular repair. For patients who want volume alongside regeneration, we sometimes coordinate PRF with dermal fillers in Los Angeles as a complementary approach.
The Growth Factors Behind the Results
The real work happens at the molecular level. PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor) and TGF-beta signal fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen, to proliferate and synthesize new tissue. VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) drives angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels that improve tissue nutrition. EGF and IGF-1 support cell turnover and follicular repair.
These are the same proteins your body uses to heal a wound. PRF and PRP simply concentrate and redirect that process where you need it most.
PRF vs. PRP: Which Treatment Is Right for You?
Most Los Angeles patients arrive having researched both options online and leave more confused than when they started. The information out there is incomplete and often conflicting. Here is a straightforward clinical framework to help you understand the difference, and your specialist will make the final call based on your specific goals during a full consultation.
Factor | PRP | PRF
Preparation method | High-speed centrifuge with anticoagulant | Low-speed centrifuge, no anticoagulant
Growth factor release | Rapid, short-term burst | Sustained release over 7 to 10 days
Fibrin matrix | Absent | Present; provides structural scaffolding
Leukocyte content | Variable; typically higher | Lower; gentler inflammatory profile
Best use cases | Hair restoration, microneedling pairing, faster initial response | Under-eye hollowing, fine lines, natural volume restoration

When PRP Is the Better Choice
PRP has a longer clinical track record for hair restoration and pairs especially well with microneedling because its liquid consistency allows even distribution across the treatment surface. Patients with active inflammatory scalp conditions may also respond better to PRP, since the anticoagulant-free fibrin matrix in PRF can occasionally be contraindicated in those cases. If you want faster initial results, PRP initiates platelet activation quickly.
When PRF Is the Better Choice
PRF is the preferred modality when sustained growth factor release is the goal. The fibrin scaffold provides structural support in areas that need tissue reinforcement, making it particularly effective for fine-line reduction and under-eye hollowing. If you are addressing tear trough volume loss, your specialist may also discuss under-eye filler in Los Angeles as a complementary or alternative option depending on the degree of hollowing present.
Combined PRF and PRP Protocols
Yes, both can be used in the same session. A combined protocol applies PRP first to initiate rapid platelet activation, then layers PRF to sustain the regenerative cascade over the following 7 to 10 days. This approach effectively stacks short-term and long-term regenerative signals in a single appointment. Your specialist determines whether this protocol fits your goals, your skin, and your timeline.

PRF & PRP Treatment Applications: Skin, Hair, and Under-Eye
Skin Rejuvenation
Los Angeles skin takes a beating year-round. Constant UV exposure accelerates photoaging in the dermis, and traffic-driven pollution across the basin adds oxidative stress that compounds the damage. PRF and PRP address this directly by stimulating collagen synthesis at the dermal level, improving texture, tone, and elasticity over time.
When paired with microneedling, platelet concentrate is driven deeper through microchannels in the skin, amplifying the regenerative response. Collagen remodeling takes time. Most patients see meaningful improvement 4 to 6 weeks after treatment, with results continuing to develop over the following months. For patients across West Hollywood and Silver Lake who want real textural change without synthetic fillers, PRF skin rejuvenation is one of the more consistent options we offer.
Hair Restoration
Thinning hair is often a sign of follicular miniaturization, the gradual shrinking of hair follicles caused by androgenetic alopecia or diffuse shedding. Year-round sun exposure in Los Angeles can accelerate this process. PRF and PRP injected directly into the scalp deliver concentrated growth factors, including VEGF, which promotes angiogenesis around each follicular unit and improves nutrient delivery to weakened follicles.
Most patients follow a protocol of 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart before moving to maintenance. Results are gradual and build with each session. Our hair restoration program in Los Angeles combines platelet-derived therapies with scalp conditioning treatments for patients dealing with both early and moderate hair loss.
Under-Eye and Tear Trough Treatment
The tear trough is one of the most delicate areas on the face. PRF's fibrin matrix makes it a natural alternative to synthetic filler here. It releases growth factors slowly into periorbital tissue, supporting regeneration without the risk of Tyndall effect, the bluish discoloration that can occur when hyaluronic acid filler is placed too superficially.
If you are not a candidate for PRF in this area, your specialist can discuss whether under-eye filler in Los Angeles is a better fit for your anatomy and goals.

PRF & PRP Treatment Cost in Los Angeles: What to Expect
Pricing for platelet therapy in Los Angeles varies. There is no single flat rate, and any clinic quoting you one without examining your goals first is skipping a step. What you pay depends on your treatment area, the number of sessions your protocol requires, and whether platelet-derived therapies are paired with other treatment modalities like microneedling. Visit our current session rates page for up-to-date figures.
Factors That Affect Your Treatment Cost
Four variables move the number most:
Multi-Session Packages and Membership Savings
Completing a full protocol as a package typically costs less per session than booking individually. Our membership program is worth reviewing if you plan to maintain results with ongoing treatments. Members access consistent savings across multiple service categories.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most patients see results from PRF and PRP treatments that last between six and twelve months, depending on the area treated and individual skin health. PRF tends to produce longer-lasting outcomes because its slower-release fibrin matrix continues stimulating collagen production over time. JASI Skin + Wellness Med Spa recommends maintenance sessions every six to twelve months to sustain optimal results.
Downtime is minimal for most patients. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at the treatment site for twenty-four to seventy-two hours, which typically resolves on its own. Most people return to normal daily activities the same day, though strenuous exercise and direct sun exposure should be avoided for at least forty-eight hours after treatment.
Yes, PRF and PRP pair well with treatments like microneedling, laser therapies, and dermal fillers to amplify overall results. At JASI Skin + Wellness Med Spa, providers often build combination protocols tailored to each patient's goals, such as pairing PRP with microneedling for texture improvement or PRF with filler for enhanced under-eye correction. Your provider will advise on safe timing between treatments during your consultation.
Most patients begin noticing visible improvements after two to three sessions, with full results becoming apparent over the following weeks as collagen production ramps up. A standard initial series at JASI Skin + Wellness Med Spa typically consists of three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. Hair restoration cases may require additional sessions before significant density changes are visible.
Because PRF and PRP use your own blood-derived growth factors, there is no risk of hyperpigmentation or post-inflammatory discoloration commonly associated with certain laser or chemical treatments. This makes them a particularly appealing option for patients with deeper or more melanin-rich skin tones. JASI Skin + Wellness Med Spa was founded with a focus on serving all skin types across Los Angeles, and providers are trained to tailor protocols accordingly.
Patients are generally advised to avoid blood-thinning medications such as aspirin and ibuprofen, along with alcohol and fish oil supplements, for at least three to five days before treatment, as these can affect platelet concentration in the blood draw. Staying well-hydrated in the days leading up to your appointment also helps improve blood draw quality and overall platelet yield. Your JASI Skin + Wellness Med Spa provider will give you a complete pre-treatment checklist during your consultation.
Most patients describe the treatment as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. A topical numbing cream is applied before any injections or microneedling procedures to keep discomfort manageable. The initial blood draw feels the same as a routine lab draw, and the majority of JASI Skin + Wellness Med Spa patients report tolerating the full treatment without significant difficulty.
