What are PRP, PRF/EZ Gel, and Exosomes?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a concentrated solution extracted from your own blood, rich in platelets that contain growth factors necessary for tissue repair and regeneration. Injecting PRP into targeted areas stimulates collagen production, enhances blood circulation, and promotes the healing process.
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) and EZ Gel
PRF, or Platelet-Rich Fibrin, is an enhanced version of PRP that boasts a higher concentration of platelets, along with beneficial components such as white blood cells and stem cells. The EZ Gel technique is a proprietary method that further concentrates and optimizes PRF, resulting in a gel-like substance that can be easily injected into treatment areas.
Exosomes
Exosomes are tiny vesicles released by stem cells that contain growth factors, proteins, and genetic material. These powerful messengers can stimulate cellular regeneration and repair, offering potential benefits for skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, and joint health.
How Do PRP, PRF/EZ Gel, and Exosomes Work?
Each of these regenerative therapies works in unique ways to promote healing and rejuvenation. PRP therapy involves drawing blood, separating platelet-rich plasma through centrifugation, activating platelets to release growth factors, applying the PRP to the treatment area, and stimulating regeneration. PRF/EZ Gel therapy follows a similar process but uses lower centrifugation speeds to preserve more components, creating a concentrated gel that allows for sustained growth factor release.
Exosome therapy is an innovative treatment in regenerative medicine that utilizes exosomes, which are tiny extracellular vesicles released by stem cells. These exosomes are isolated, concentrated, and then administered to target areas via injection or topical application. The therapy enhances cellular communication, delivering essential growth factors and genetic material to target cells, promoting tissue repair and overall rejuvenation.
Hair Restoration
- PRP for Hair: After injection into the scalp, PRP releases growth factors that stimulate dormant hair follicles, increase blood supply to the follicles, and prolong the active growth phase of hair. This can lead to thicker, stronger hair and increased hair count.
- PRF for Hair: The fibrin matrix in PRF allows for a slower release of growth factors compared to PRP, potentially providing longer-lasting effects.
- Exosomes for Hair: When applied to the scalp, exosomes can deliver specific proteins and genetic material that promote hair follicle regeneration, extend the anagen (growth) phase of hair, and improve overall scalp health.
Joint Therapy
- PRP and PRF for Joints: When injected into affected joints, PRP’s growth factors reduce inflammation, stimulate the production of synovial fluid, and promote the regeneration of cartilage and other joint tissues.
- Exosomes for Joints: When injected into joints, exosomes can modulate inflammation, promote tissue repair, and potentially stimulate the regeneration of cartilage cells, offering relief from joint pain and improved function.
Microneedling
- PRP and PRF with Microneedling: The micro-injuries created by microneedling allow for deeper penetration of PRP. This combination enhances collagen production, improves skin texture, and accelerates healing.
- Exosomes with Microneedling: When applied during microneedling, exosomes can penetrate deeper into the skin, delivering their regenerative cargo more effectively. This can lead to improved skin texture, reduced scarring, and enhanced overall skin rejuvenation.
Facial Injections
- PRP Facial Injections: When injected into specific areas of the face, PRP stimulates collagen production, improves skin elasticity, and can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles. It can also improve skin tone and texture.
- PRF/EZ Gel Facial Injections: The fibrin matrix in PRF creates a scaffolding effect when injected, potentially providing more structure and volume. The sustained release of growth factors can lead to longer-lasting rejuvenation effects.
- Exosome Facial Injections: When injected into the face, exosomes can target specific skin concerns at a cellular level. They can promote collagen and elastin production, improve skin hydration, and potentially reverse signs of aging more effectively than traditional injectables.

PRP and PRF/EZ Gel therapies are considered very safe as they use your blood. Exosome therapy uses products that have been thoroughly screened for safety. All treatments are performed under strict medical supervision by our experienced team.
The number of treatments varies depending on your personal goals and the area of focus. Typically, a series of 2-3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results.
Most patients experience minimal downtime. You may have some redness or swelling at the treatment site for a day or two, but this usually subsides quickly.
While some patients notice immediate improvements, optimal results typically develop over 2-3 months as collagen production increases and tissues regenerate.
Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedures. We use topical numbing creams and other techniques to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment.
Most healthy adults are good candidates for PRP, PRF/EZ Gel, and Exosome therapies. During your consultation, we’ll review your medical history and goals to determine if these treatments are right for you.
Results can last 6 months to 2 years, influenced by specific treatment areas and personal factors. Maintenance treatments can help prolong the effects.
