A Higher Standard for Regenerative Care

At Concierge Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery, we adopt a thoughtful, medically guided approach to regenerative treatments. With over 30 years of combined experience, our team carefully selects and customizes PRP, PRF, and exosome therapies to support your skin's natural repair processes. These treatments are perfect for patients looking for subtle, progressive improvements backed by science. They enhance skin quality, stimulate hair growth, and restore a healthier, more refreshed appearance.

How Do These Treatments Work?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin), and exosomes are regenerative treatments that stimulate your body’s natural healing and repair mechanisms.

While similar and complementary, they accomplish different goals:

  • PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): Derived from your own blood, PRP contains a high concentration of platelets rich in growth factors that help stimulate collagen production and tissue repair.
  • PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin): A more advanced form of PRP, PRF is processed more slowly, allowing for a higher concentration of healing components and a gradual release of growth factors over time.
  • Exosomes: Extracellular vesicles that act as intercellular messengers, delivering signals that promote regeneration, reduce inflammation, and enhance cellular repair.

These treatments can:

  • Activate fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen and maintaining your skin’s structure and firmness
  • Increase collagen and elastin production by delivering growth factors into the skin, where they signal surrounding cells to produce more structural proteins
  • Support tissue regeneration by enhancing your body’s natural healing response, improving overall skin quality and function from within

Clinical research from the National Library of Medicine shows platelet-based therapies play a role in wound healing and tissue repair, while studies on exosomes highlight their role in cellular communication and regenerative signaling.

Benefits of PRP, PRF & Exosome Therapy

  • Improves skin texture irregularities by helping smooth rough or uneven areas that don’t respond well to topical treatments
  • Enhances under-eye quality by supporting healthier, thicker skin in delicate areas where traditional treatments may be limited
  • Encourages more even skin recovery after procedures such as microneedling or lasers, helping results look more consistent
  • Supports scalp health by improving the overall environment around hair follicles, not just the hair itself
  • Reduces the appearance of mild scarring by promoting more organized tissue repair beneath the surface
  • Offers versatility across treatment areas, including face, scalp, neck, and other areas needing targeted regeneration
  • Works well as part of a long-term maintenance plan, helping preserve results from other aesthetic treatments
    Minimizes reliance on synthetic products for patients who prefer biologically driven treatment options

Are You a Good Candidate for PRP, PRF & Exosome Therapy?

Before recommending PRP, PRF, or exosome therapy, providers evaluate your overall health, blood quality (for PRP/PRF), and your body's expected response to regenerative signaling.

You may be considered a good candidate if you:

  • Have adequate platelet levels and normal blood function, which are essential for PRP and PRF effectiveness
  • Are in generally good health without uncontrolled chronic conditions that impair healing, such as poorly managed diabetes
  • Do not have active infections, inflammation, or skin disease in the treatment area
  • Are not currently undergoing treatments that significantly affect healing, such as chemotherapy or immunosuppressive therapy
  • Do not have bleeding disorders or platelet dysfunction syndromes, which can limit the effectiveness of platelet-based therapies
  • Are not taking anticoagulants or certain medications that may interfere with platelet activity, unless medically cleared

For exosome therapy, additional considerations may include:

  • The quality of the treatment source and preparation method
  • Whether the treatment is being used as a standalone therapy or in combination with procedures like microneedling

During your consultation, we take all of these variables into account. This ensures not only that the treatment is appropriate, but that it is positioned to deliver meaningful, safe, and predictable results based on your individual biology.

Consultation

Your consultation includes a detailed evaluation of your skin or hair concerns, medical history, and treatment goals. We determine the most effective regenerative approach and outline a treatment plan. Pricing varies depending on the treatment area and number of sessions required.

Procedure Steps

  • A small blood sample is collected (for PRP or PRF)
  • The sample is processed to isolate growth factors
  • The treatment area is cleansed and prepared
  • PRP, PRF, or exosomes are applied or injected precisely into targeted areas
  • Treatment may be paired with microneedling to enhance absorption and results
  • These procedures are typically completed within one hour

Recovery and Results

  • Mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity may occur for 1–3 days
  • Skin improvement develops gradually over several weeks
  • Hair restoration results typically appear over 3–6 months
  • A series of treatments is often recommended for optimal outcomes
  • Because these therapies rely on your body’s natural processes, results continue to evolve over time

FAQs

How is PRF different from PRP in terms of results?

How many sessions are typically needed to see results?

Does age affect how well these treatments work?

Can PRP, PRF, or exosomes replace fillers or other injectables?

Are results from PRP, PRF, and exosome therapy permanent?

How do providers decide between PRP, PRF, and exosomes?

Is there any downtime that could affect work or social plans?

What are the risks and potential side effects?

Can lifestyle factors affect my results?

Are these treatments regulated the same way as other injectables?

How is PRF different from PRP in terms of results?

PRF is processed at a lower speed, which allows it to retain more white blood cells and fibrin. This creates a slower, more sustained release of growth factors, potentially leading to longer-lasting stimulation compared to PRP in certain applications.

How many sessions are typically needed to see results?

Most patients require a series of treatments for optimal outcomes. For skin, this may be 2–4 sessions spaced several weeks apart. For hair restoration, 3–6 treatments are often recommended, followed by maintenance depending on response.

Does age affect how well these treatments work?

Yes. Because these treatments rely on your body’s natural regenerative capacity, younger patients or those with stronger baseline health may respond more quickly. However, older patients can still see meaningful improvement with the right treatment plan.

Can PRP, PRF, or exosomes replace fillers or other injectables?

Not directly. These treatments improve tissue quality and function, while fillers restore volume or contour. In many cases, they are complementary and may be combined depending on your goals.

Are results from PRP, PRF, and exosome therapy permanent?

No. While these treatments stimulate natural repair, the aging process continues. Maintenance treatments are typically needed to preserve results over time.

How do providers decide between PRP, PRF, and exosomes?

The choice depends on your goals, treatment area, and how your body is expected to respond. PRP is often used for more immediate stimulation, PRF for longer-term release, and exosomes for enhanced signaling in certain protocols.

Is there any downtime that could affect work or social plans?

Most patients can return to normal activities quickly. However, temporary redness, pinpoint bleeding (with microneedling), or swelling may be visible for a short period, which should be considered when planning events.

What are the risks and potential side effects?

These treatments are generally well tolerated, but possible side effects include:

  • Temporary swelling, redness, or bruising at the treatment site
  • Mild discomfort or tenderness
  • Infection (rare when performed in a medical setting)
  • Inconsistent results depending on individual biology

Because PRP and PRF use your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction is extremely low.

Can lifestyle factors affect my results?

Yes. Factors such as smoking, poor nutrition, high stress, and lack of sleep can impact your body’s ability to regenerate and respond to treatment. Optimizing these areas can improve overall outcomes.

Are these treatments regulated the same way as other injectables?

Not always. PRP and PRF are derived from your own blood and are widely used in medical settings, while exosome therapies are still evolving and subject to ongoing research and regulatory review. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration notes that biologic therapies, including emerging regenerative treatments, require careful oversight and clinical judgment.
