Exosome Microneedling in Alpharetta

Platelet rich fibrin, made from a small sample of your own blood. Spinning it separates a layer rich in platelets and fibrin, which carries the growth factors your body uses to repair tissue and build collagen.

PRF is spun at a lower speed with no anticoagulant, which preserves a fibrin scaffold and more white blood cells. That scaffold releases growth factors slowly over several days, where PRP releases them quickly. Both are effective, and your provider selects between them based on the area being treated and the protocol.

Yes, a small draw comparable to a routine blood test, taken at the start of your appointment. It spins in the centrifuge while your skin is being numbed. If needles are a genuine problem for you, microneedling alone is a reasonable alternative.

The draw is a brief pinch. The microneedling itself is done under topical numbing and most patients describe light pressure and vibration rather than pain.

Acne scarring, general skin quality, texture and firmness, and skin that has become thin or depleted.

It depends on the cause. Where circles come from thin skin letting underlying vessels show through, thickening that skin genuinely helps. Where they come from hollowing or pigment, PRF is not the answer and we will tell you what is.

Three spaced four to six weeks apart for most concerns, then maintenance once or twice a year. Established scarring sometimes benefits from a fourth.

Redness like a light sunburn for 24 to 48 hours. The PRF is left on the skin and feels slightly tacky, so we ask you not to wash your face until the next morning and to skip makeup for 24 hours.

Very few, since everything used comes from your own body and there is no allergic risk. Bruising at the draw site and temporary redness are the usual effects. PRF is not suitable with certain clotting or blood disorders, which we screen for.

If your concern is general texture and pores, microneedling alone is usually the sensible choice and costs less. PRF earns the difference where skin is thin or depleted, particularly under the eyes, or where scarring needs a stronger healing response.

Yes. The same growth factors applied to the scalp can support thinning hair. We treat that as its own protocol, so ask at consultation if that is your concern.
