How to Get the Most out of Your PRP/PRF Treatment
Platelet-rich plasma/fibrin, or PRP/PRF, is a fantastic treatment for general skin rejuvenation. What makes it so great is that it uses your body’s own natural healing power to achieve its outstanding effects.
Here at Potentia Medspa, we use PRF. PRF can potentially treat a wide range of problems, including scarring, eliminating fine lines and wrinkles, improved skin tone and texture, increased facial volume, and much more.
But there's a tiny catch: make sure that you're taking good care of your body and staying as healthy as possible, especially in the days leading up to your PRF treatment, to ensure you get the most out of your treatment. PRF is a natural alternative to many skin rejuvenation treatments because it uses what your body already produces.
Here are some pointers from us on how to maximize the benefits of your PRF procedure.
Maintain a healthy lifestyle
If you want to make the most of your PRF treatment, we advise you to try to:
In the days before your treatment, stick to an anti-inflammatory diet.
Limit your alcohol intake. Exchange the wine for some water.
Increase food rich in anthocyanins and plant-based antioxidants like green tea.
Get off foods that are known inflammatory triggers for you.
Avoid cleansing your face for 24 hours
We recommend delaying washing your face until the day after your PRF treatment because we want your face to soak up and absorb all the growth factors.
Combine PRF with other skin treatments
In order to maximize your PRF outcomes, we advise combining it with our signature procedures like Natur-Tox, Red Carpet Facial, PDO threads, or Microneedling. In the effort to stimulate collagen, combining therapies can help you get the best possible overall outcome and increase your healing time.
Book multiple sessions for best outcomes
We recommend scheduling your PRF treatment regularly, and you’ll see exponential benefits. PRF is a major collagen-boosting treatment, and it's those series of initial treatments that will give your body a good foundation for producing quality collagen as well as turning over new skin cells. A series of 2-3 initial treatments and yearly follow-up and maintenance are advised.
