PRF AND PDGF in Chicago

Providers create PRF, or platelet-rich fibrin injections using the patient’s own blood. Our team members make a draw, spin it in a centrifuge, and separate out the most beneficial materials. Providers can then inject those materials back into the body to stimulate the production of growth factors for controlled rejuvenation.

PDGF, or platelet-derived growth factors, are lab-grown, and they include a higher concentration of growth factors, which makes it a more powerful treatment option than PRF injections.

However, despite the differences between PDGF and PRP, we often combine them for a single, more comprehensive treatment. By combining these two treatments, we can provide more noticeable results.

PRF suits individuals seeking natural regeneration, improved texture, or support for fragile skin or thinning hair. It’s especially beneficial for those who prefer biologically aligned treatments that work with the body’s natural repair processes.

Results vary from client to client. However, early improvements, such as increased hydration or softness, may appear within a few weeks. Over the following months, collagen production, elasticity, and overall skin or scalp quality improve as regeneration progresses.

Clients seeking PRF or PDGF in Chicago often notice the most meaningful changes after completing their full recommended treatment series.

Most clients complete a series of 2-3 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Your provider designs a plan based on your skin condition, scalp health, and desired outcomes, allowing regenerative changes to build gradually and evenly.

Downtime varies from client to client but is minimal. Any mild swelling, tenderness, or redness that occurs usually resolves within a few days. Most clients return to their daily activities quickly after experiencing PRF or PDGF in Chicago while following aftercare guidance.

Results can vary, but it’s possible to experience lasting benefits for up to a year. A structured series followed by periodic maintenance helps reinforce repair and extend improvements. Many people maintain their results from PRF or PDGF with annual or semi-annual sessions, depending on their goals.

Yes. PRF and PDGF pair well with microneedling, neuromodulators, and dermal fillers when spaced appropriately. These combinations allow providers to address skin quality and structural concerns while maintaining natural-looking results.
