Skip to content PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) therapy offer simple, natural treatments that help restore your skin’s health and promote hair growth by using your body’s own healing abilities. At 5th & Wellness in Boca Raton, FL, our team provides these therapies to refresh the skin, improve texture, soften early signs of aging, and stimulate hair follicles for thicker, healthier hair.
The process is straightforward. We collect a small sample of your blood, then carefully process it to separate the nutrient-rich portion containing growth factors and platelets. This concentrated solution is then placed back into areas of the face or scalp that need support. Your body responds by building new collagen, improving tissue health, and, in the case of hair treatment, awakening dormant hair follicles. Most people describe the treatment as quick and easy, with little recovery time needed. Results appear gradually as your body’s natural healing processes work their magic.
If you’re looking for a natural approach to looking refreshed or addressing hair thinning without synthetic products, PRP/PRF therapy offers an effective solution using what your body already produces.
At 5th & Wellness, we offer PRP/PRF therapy for multiple concerns:
Helps brighten and reduce hollowing
Adds soft volume for a smoother shape
Softens wrinkles for a youthful smile
Supports firmer skin and improved tone
Stimulates inactive hair follicles to promote new growth
Strengthens existing hair and increases density
Helps slow or reverse early recession
Improves blood flow and nourishment to hair follicles
While both treatments use your own blood components, they have some distinct differences:
PRP/PRF is safe for many adults. You may be a good candidate if:
You want natural skin improvement or hair restoration without surgery
You see early signs of aging, such as fine lines or mild volume loss
You're experiencing hair thinning or the early stages of hair loss
You prefer treatments that work with your body instead of synthetic products
You are in overall good health
PRP/PRF may not be suitable for those with blood disorders, currently fighting infections, or who have been in cancer remission for less than five years.
The concentrated platelets and growth factors in PRP/PRF help stimulate inactive hair follicles, extend the growing phase of hair, and improve blood supply to the scalp. This creates the ideal environment for thicker, healthier hair growth.
Most people see the best results with a series of 3-4 treatments spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. After the initial series, maintenance treatments every 6-12 months help sustain the improvements.
Many practitioners find that PRF offers slightly longer-lasting results because it releases growth factors more gradually. PRF also contains more white blood cells and stem cells, which may provide additional benefits for both skin and hair treatments.
For facial rejuvenation, some improvements may be visible within weeks, with full results appearing over 2-3 months as collagen production increases. For hair restoration, new growth typically becomes noticeable after 2-3 months, with continued improvement over 6-12 months.
Yes, many clients enhance their results by combining PRP/PRF with microneedling, laser treatments, or hair loss medications. Your provider will help you choose the best combination for your specific goals.
Most people report only mild discomfort. We typically apply a numbing cream before treatment to keep you comfortable. You may feel slight pressure during the injections, but this sensation fades quickly.
Results can last several months to over a year, depending on the treatment area and your body’s response. Regular maintenance sessions can help sustain and enhance the benefits.
