What is the difference between PRP and PRF at Mapp Aesthetics?

Both PRP ($490/session) and PRF ($550/session) use your own blood drawn via venepuncture. PRP uses a standard tube to separate concentrated platelets for broad skin or scalp delivery, while PRF is spun at a lower G-force without chemical anticoagulants, creating a 3D fibrin scaffold that releases growth factors slowly over 7 to 14 days.

How many PRP or PRF sessions are needed for skin or hair?

For dermal skin rejuvenation and under-eye support, we typically recommend 3 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart. For hair follicle density and shedding reduction, an initial course of 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart is recommended, followed by maintenance every 6 to 12 months.

PRP and PRF Skin and Hair Follicle Therapy at Mapp Aesthetics Miranda

Cellular Science • First vs. Second Generation

Understanding PRP vs. PRF

Both therapies begin with a standard venepuncture performed by our experienced clinicians, drawing 1 to 2 small vials of your blood and spinning them in our clinical centrifuge.

First-Generation $490 / Session

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

Blood is spun at a higher centrifugal speed to cleanly separate red blood cells from the golden plasma layer rich in platelets. Once delivered into the skin or scalp, platelets release growth factors rapidly over the first several hours to trigger tissue repair and fibroblast stimulation.

• Ideal for full-face, neck, and décolletage skin revitalisation
• Broad-field scalp delivery for hair follicle support
• Recommended protocol: 3 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart

Next-Generation Fibrin Scaffold $550 / Session

PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)

Collected in 100% additive-free tubes without chemical anticoagulants and spun at a gentler G-force. This preserves platelets, white blood cells (leukocytes), and stem cells within a natural fibrin mesh that releases growth factors (VEGF, PDGF, TGF-β) slowly over 7 to 14 days.

• Gold-standard autologous choice for delicate under-eye (tear trough) skin
• Superior sustained growth-factor signalling for thinning hair follicles
• 100% free from anticoagulants or synthetic additives

Autologous Scalp & Hair Protocol

PRP & PRF for Hair Thinning & Follicle Support

For men and women experiencing early-to-moderate androgenetic hair thinning, widening part lines, temple recession, or stress-related shedding (telogen effluvium), PRP and PRF bathe dormant hair follicles in vascular growth factors to strengthen shaft calibre and prolong the active Anagen growth phase.

Realistic Expectations Disclosure: PRP and PRF are not a cure for complete baldness and cannot generate new follicles where follicles have been completely absent for years. A clinical scalp assessment is required to confirm follicle viability.

Pre- & Post-Care Essentials

• Drink 2L+ water daily for 48 hours prior
• Avoid ibuprofen/NSAIDs for 48–72 hours before & after
• Avoid alcohol & smoking for 48 hours
• Expect 24–72 hours of mild swelling or tenderness
