PRPandPRF.Yourblood,yourcollagen,yourresult.
Platelet-rich plasma and platelet-rich fibrin concentrates drawn from your blood, spun to isolate growth factors, and applied where collagen and regeneration need a boost. For skin, hair, and under-eyes.
Quick answer
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) are autologous growth-factor concentrates drawn from your own blood — used at Bravo MedSpa to amplify RF microneedling results, restore hair density, and rejuvenate under-eyes.
Sessions are performed by Diana Lee under medical director oversight. Most clients run a 3-session series spaced 4–6 weeks apart. PRF is the newer, second-generation product — higher fibrin, slower release, often our default.
Why clients book PRP or PRF
When you want your own biology doing the healing.
No foreign product. No preservatives. Your blood, spun, and the platelet-rich layer returned to where you want regeneration. The simplest regenerative idea in medicine.
Your hair is thinning and you want a non-drug option
Early androgenetic alopecia responds well to PRP scalp injections. No finasteride, no minoxidil commitment — just growth factors to thickening follicles.
Dark under-eye circles and thin skin
The under-eye zone is too thin for most HA filler. PRF injected in a cannula-precise pattern thickens the skin and lightens discolouration over 3 sessions.
You want your RF microneedling result amplified
Topical PRP during microneedling doubles the collagen response in clinical studies. Our Series + PRP plan is Bravo's highest-performing skincare combination.
Acne scarring that filler and laser didn't fully solve
PRP + RF microneedling in the same session addresses deep dermal scar remodelling in a way either tool alone cannot match.
How it works
Autologous growth factors, precisely placed.
01
Blood draw (10 mL)
Small volume drawn from the arm, like a routine lab. Takes under 5 minutes. Sterile centrifuge tubes collect the sample.
02
Centrifuge separation
The blood is spun at a specific speed. This separates plasma from red cells and concentrates platelets. PRP uses anticoagulants; PRF uses no additives and forms a gentle fibrin matrix.
03
Application or injection
The platelet-rich layer is either injected (scalp, under-eye) or applied topically during microneedling. Growth factors trigger fibroblast activity and neocollagenesis.
The numbers
Your blood. Your growth factors.
PRP/PRF is the cleanest regenerative medicine on the menu — because there is no foreign material entering your body.

Treatment applications
Skin, scalp, under-eye — where PRP/PRF outperforms.
With RF microneedling
Topical PRP applied during and after microneedling. Dramatically amplifies collagen response. Our Series + PRP plan.
Scalp (hair restoration)
PRP injected in a grid pattern across the scalp. 3 sessions + quarterly maintenance for ongoing results. Works best for early-stage thinning.
Under-eye (tear trough)
PRF-only for under-eye. Thickens crepey skin, improves pigmentation, supports weak tear-trough anatomy. Cannula placement.
Acne scar series
PRP + RF microneedling with deep-zone focus. 4–6 sessions over 6 months. Often pairs with TCA cross for ice-pick scars.
What happens at your session
The Bravo PRP/PRF protocol.
Blood draw + consent
First visit: medical history, consent, and IV-style blood draw (10–20 mL). Nurse-drawn, same as a routine lab test.
Centrifuge processing (8 min)
Tubes spun in the treatment room during your topical numbing. The platelet-rich layer is isolated and drawn into an injection syringe.
Numbing application
Topical numbing cream for skin zones (20–45 min depending on zone). Scalp injections done with only minor numbing — the scalp tolerates well.
Treatment application
Microneedling application if skin zone; direct injection with cannula or needle if scalp or under-eye. Session time varies by zone (15–60 min).
Post-care protocol
Skin zones follow microneedling aftercare. Scalp zones: no wash 24 hours, no heat for 48h. Under-eye: ice and sleep elevated.
Follow-up at 4–6 weeks
Next session booked. Progress photos at each visit. Skin clients often alternate PRP microneedling with DiamondGlow monthly.
Results timeline
When PRP/PRF shows up.
Day 0
Session 1
Draw, spin, apply or inject. Mild swelling 24–48h. Back to normal activity immediately.
First glow
Week 2–4
Skin clients: glow and texture improvement. Hair clients: too early to see change. Under-eye: slight thickening visible.
Weeks 6–12
Session 2–3
Full series running. Cumulative response building. Hair density starting to improve in scalp series.
Peak
Month 6
Full collagen / growth-factor response evident. Hair restoration clients show 20–40% density increase from baseline photos.
Maintenance
Quarterly
Scalp clients continue quarterly for ongoing response. Skin clients maintain annually with RF microneedling + PRP top-ups.
Eligibility
Autologous means fewer eligibility constraints.
Who it's for
- RF microneedling clients wanting amplified result
- Early-stage hair thinning (ideally not full pattern baldness)
- Under-eye clients not suited to HA filler
- Acne scarring with a deep dermal component
- Clients uncomfortable with foreign injectable products
- Regenerative medicine-minded clients
Not right for
- Blood disorders, platelet dysfunction
- Active cancer or recent chemotherapy
- Anticoagulant therapy (case-by-case)
- Active skin infection in the treatment zone
- Pregnancy (case-by-case, usually deferred)
- Severe immunosuppression
The elegance of PRP and PRF is that we're not adding anything to your body that your body didn't already make. We're concentrating what's already yours and putting it where it's needed. Clean biology.

Hartford & Rocky Hill
Connecticut's regenerative option.
PRP and PRF have moved from boutique treatment to mainstream over the last 5 years. At Bravo we use it most heavily in two contexts: amplifying RF microneedling (our Series + PRP plan) and hair restoration for early-stage thinning.
PRF specifically — the additive-free second-generation version — is our default for under-eye and scar work. Slower growth factor release means a longer therapeutic window and better fibrin structure.
