Book NowYour own platelets. Your skin goals.
PRP means platelet-rich plasma; PRF means platelet-rich fibrin. Both start with a small sample of your own blood, prepared in different ways for treatment. At XO, the conversation starts with the skin you’d like to improve and which approach may fit your goals.
BENEFITS & TREATMENT FOCUS
Smoother texture. A refreshed complexion.
PRP may help improve the look of fine lines, uneven texture and some acne scars. Your provider will explain whether PRP or PRF fits your facial treatment.
Texture & acne-scar concerns
PRP may help soften the uneven texture left by some acne scars.
Fine lines & complexion
Explore a gradual improvement in fine lines and the overall look of your skin with PRP.
Made using your own platelets
PRP and PRF begin with your own blood sample rather than a manufactured gel filler.
Results vary, and research is still developing. PRP and PRF are different treatments; the potential benefits described for PRP are not equally established for PRF.
FROM SAMPLE TO TREATMENT
From a small sample to your skin treatment.
A small blood sample
After your assessment, a small amount of blood is drawn for your treatment.
Prepare your treatment
Your sample is processed to separate the components used in the PRP or PRF treatment chosen for you.
Treat the planned areas
Your provider treats the facial areas discussed with you, then explains recovery and follow-up. If you’re considering microneedling as well, we’ll talk through that separately.
GOOD QUESTIONS. CLEARER CHOICES.

IMPORTANT TREATMENT INFORMATION
Read about recovery, side effects and who should avoid treatment in the questions below. We’ll also talk through these details before your appointment.
What skin concerns can PRP help with?
PRP may improve the look of fine lines, uneven texture and some acne scars. Results develop gradually and research is still growing. We’ll discuss what is realistic for your skin and how PRF differs.
How are PRP and PRF different?
Both begin with a sample of your blood. PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma; PRF stands for platelet-rich fibrin. They are prepared differently, and their results and uses should not be assumed to be the same. PDGF is a separate term, not another name for either treatment.
What is recovery like?
Bruising, tenderness and swelling can occur, and infection is possible. Your recovery depends on where and how the treatment is used. XO will explain the aftercare and when to check in. Using your own blood does not make the procedure risk-free.
Can I combine this with microneedling?
Ask XO about the options for your skin. Injectable platelet treatment and microneedling add-ons are different procedures. The FDA has not reviewed the safety and effectiveness of microneedling devices used with other products; your provider will explain the benefits, limits and risks of any combination.
Who should avoid treatment, and what are the risks?
Evidence and regulatory status depend on the procedure and intended use. A preparation method or device clearance should not be treated as approval of every application. For microneedling combinations, FDA has not reviewed the safety and effectiveness of microneedling devices used with other products. Discuss the specific benefits, risks and alternatives with a qualified clinician.
