Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a regenerative treatment that involves drawing a small amount of a person's blood, spinning it in a centrifuge to separate platelets, and then applying the concentrated plasma to the skin. Rich in growth factors, PRP stimulates collagen production, promotes healing, and rejuvenates the skin.
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is an advanced version of PRP. It involves a similar process of drawing blood and spinning it, but retains a higher concentration of platelets, fibrin, white blood cells, and stem cells. This gel-like substance, when applied, offers enhanced healing properties and regenerative effects, making it a popular choice for various treatments.
PRF treatment stimulates the production of collagen in the scalp, which helps improve the thickness and volume of the hair strands. By enhancing collagen synthesis, PRF contributes to the overall density and fullness of the hair, making it appear thicker and healthier.

Skin boosters sometimes referred to as 'injections for skin quality,' are specially-made treatments specifically designed to administer skin rejuvenating substances like Hyaluronic Acid (HA), which restores the moisture in the skin, and improves skin elasticity, firmness and radiance.
