PRP & PRF in Thonotosassa, FL
Your own biology, put to work.
PRP and PRF are made from a small sample of your own blood, concentrated to release the growth factors your body uses to heal, then placed back into the skin or scalp. At SpaRx Medical Aesthetics they are used for under-eye rejuvenation, overall skin quality and hair restoration, by a certified injector under physician oversight.
PRP & PRF
What are PRP and PRF?
The systems used to prepare PRP and PRF are FDA-cleared, and using your own platelets this way for skin and hair is considered off-label, a routine and lawful part of aesthetic medicine. Results build gradually rather than overnight, and they vary from person to person, so your injector will map out a realistic plan for your goals at your visit.
PRP vs. PRF
PRP and PRF are close cousins, both drawn from your own blood, but they are processed differently and behave differently once placed. Neither is simply "better"; your injector chooses based on the area and your goal. Here is how they compare.
| Feature | PRP (platelet-rich plasma) | PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A liquid concentrate of platelets and plasma | A concentrate that also captures fibrin and white cells |
| How it is prepared | Spun faster, sometimes with an anticoagulant | Spun more gently, with no additives at all |
| Consistency | Liquid, easy to inject or apply | Forms a soft gel-like scaffold |
| Growth-factor release | Released relatively quickly | Released slowly over several days from the fibrin scaffold |
| Often chosen for | Skin treatments, microneedling and hair | Delicate areas like the under-eyes, for a longer, gradual effect |
Both are made entirely from your own blood, with no synthetic filler or medication added. Your injector reviews which one fits your area and goals at your consultation.
What PRP and PRF can treat
The same growth factors can rejuvenate delicate skin, improve overall tone and support thinning hair, depending on where they are placed. These are the ways patients use PRP and PRF at SpaRx Medical Aesthetics.
Under-eye rejuvenation (PRF)
PRF is a favorite for the delicate under-eye area, where it can soften hollows and dark circles and improve skin quality using your own growth factors, with no synthetic filler. From $300.
Skin tone & texture
PRP and PRF can improve overall skin quality, tone and glow. This is often done together with microneedling or as a vampire facial, so the growth factors reach the skin through tiny channels.
Hair restoration (PRP)
PRP injected into the scalp delivers growth factors to thinning areas to support thicker, healthier-looking hair over a series of sessions. From $300. Results vary and build gradually.
A natural, add-on option
Because PRP and PRF come from your own body, they pair well with other treatments, and many patients add PRF to a filler or microneedling plan.
PRP and PRF are prepared with FDA-cleared systems and drawn from your own blood, and they have a long, well-established history in medicine for supporting healing. Their cosmetic use for skin and hair is considered off-label, which is a routine and lawful part of aesthetic medicine, and the research on aesthetic results is promising but still developing. That is why we set realistic expectations, often recommend a series of sessions, and never promise a specific outcome. Your provider reviews whether PRP or PRF is a good fit for you first.
How much do PRP and PRF cost in Thonotosassa?
Because PRP and PRF work gradually, most people plan a short series of sessions spaced a few weeks apart for the best effect, then space out maintenance from there. Skin treatments delivered with microneedling are priced separately; your provider will lay out a clear plan and price for whichever approach fits your goals, with no surprises.
Your PRP or PRF visit, start to finish
01
Draw & spin
Your injector draws a small sample of your blood, like a routine blood test, then spins it in a centrifuge for a few minutes to concentrate your platelets and growth factors.
02
Placement
The concentrate is placed where it is needed: injected under the eyes or into the scalp, or applied to the skin with microneedling. Numbing keeps you comfortable.
03
Back to your day
Downtime is minimal, with some swelling, redness or bruising possible for a few days. Results build over the following weeks, and we will plan any follow-up sessions.
Curious whether PRP or PRF is right for you?
A free consultation is the easiest first step. No pressure, just a plan.
How long do PRP and PRF results take?
For skin and under-eyes, many plans involve a short series of sessions spaced a few weeks apart, with occasional maintenance afterward. For hair, consistency over several months matters most. Because the treatment relies on your own biology, results vary from person to person, and no outcome is guaranteed; your injector will set realistic expectations and help you decide whether to continue based on how you respond. This gradual, natural pace is exactly why patients who want a biology-based option choose it.
Are PRP and PRF safe?
Because PRP and PRF are made entirely from your own blood, with nothing synthetic added, the risk of an allergic reaction is very low, and the treatment has a strong safety profile in trained hands.
At SpaRx Medical Aesthetics, every PRP and PRF treatment is performed by a certified injector under physician oversight, using sterile, FDA-cleared preparation systems. Side effects are usually mild and temporary, such as swelling, redness, tenderness or a small bruise at the injection sites for a few days. PRP and PRF are generally not recommended for people with certain blood or platelet conditions, active infections, or during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and your injector reviews your health history first to confirm the treatment is right for you. If you ever want to combine PRF with other injectables, that plan is reviewed with you as well.

PRP & PRF FAQs
What are PRP and PRF? +
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) are treatments made from a small sample of your own blood. The blood is spun in a centrifuge to concentrate your platelets and growth factors, which are then placed back into the skin or scalp to signal your own cells to build collagen, improve tissue quality and support hair. Because it is your own biology, the risk of an allergic reaction is very low.
What is the difference between PRP and PRF? +
Both come from your own blood. PRP is a liquid concentrate of platelets, prepared by spinning faster and sometimes with an anticoagulant. PRF is prepared more gently with no additives, and it forms a soft scaffold that releases growth factors slowly over several days. PRF is often chosen for delicate areas like the under-eyes, while PRP is common for skin, microneedling and hair. Your injector selects the right one for your area and goal.
How much do PRP and PRF cost in Thonotosassa, FL? +
At SpaRx Medical Aesthetics, PRF under-eye rejuvenation starts at $300, and PRP hair restoration injections start at $300. Your total depends on the area and how many sessions your plan includes, and your injector confirms the price with you before treatment begins. Skin treatments delivered with microneedling are priced separately.
How long do PRP and PRF results take, and how long do they last? +
PRP and PRF work gradually; most people see improvement build over about 2 to 3 months as their own collagen and tissue respond. A series of sessions usually gives the best result, followed by occasional maintenance. Results vary from person to person, and no outcome is guaranteed.
How many sessions will I need? +
Many plans involve a short series of sessions spaced a few weeks apart, with maintenance afterward, though the exact number depends on the area and how you respond. Your injector will recommend a realistic plan at your consultation rather than promising results in a single visit.
Do PRP and PRF hurt, and is there downtime? +
The blood draw feels like a routine blood test, and numbing keeps the injections or microneedling comfortable. Downtime is minimal; you can usually return to your day, with some swelling, redness or a small bruise at the sites possible for a few days.
Are PRP and PRF safe? +
Because PRP and PRF are made entirely from your own blood with nothing synthetic added, the risk of an allergic reaction is very low, and the treatment has a strong safety profile in trained hands. At SpaRx Medical Aesthetics it is performed by a certified injector under physician oversight using sterile, FDA-cleared preparation systems. It is generally not recommended for people with certain blood conditions, active infections, or during pregnancy or breastfeeding; your injector reviews your health history first.
Does PRP work for hair loss? +
PRP injected into the scalp delivers growth factors to thinning areas and is used to support thicker, healthier-looking hair over a series of sessions. The research is promising but still developing, so results vary and are not guaranteed. Your provider will assess whether you are a good candidate and set realistic expectations.
What is PRF under-eye treatment? +
PRF under-eye treatment uses platelet-rich fibrin from your own blood, injected into the delicate area beneath the eyes to soften hollows and dark circles and improve skin quality, without synthetic filler. It starts at $300 at SpaRx Medical Aesthetics, and results build gradually over a few weeks.
Are PRP and PRF FDA-approved? +
The systems used to prepare PRP and PRF are FDA-cleared, and the treatment uses your own blood. Using your own platelets for skin and hair is considered off-label, which is a routine and lawful part of aesthetic medicine. Your provider reviews the approach and realistic expectations with you before treatment.
