Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) blend advanced biology with aesthetic medicine. These advanced treatments utilize a concentrated formula of your body’s own healing components to encourage new cell growth, boost collagen, and improve skin and scalp health.
This signature approach transforms your body’s natural healing powers into a tool for aesthetic refinement. It is a gentle, natural way to rejuvenate your skin, guided by the medical precision of Jennifer Couso, APN, FNP-BC. This treatment helps you look and feel refreshed by strengthening the very foundation of your skin and hair, ensuring results that feel authentic and balanced.
How Emcyte PRP and PRF Work
These treatments act as a gentle “wake-up call” for your skin’s natural repair system, harnessing the potent, restorative elements already within you. The process begins with a 60 ml blood draw—a precise volume essential for high-yield results—which is then processed using the industry-leading Emcyte PRP system.
This advanced technology yields a significantly higher concentration of platelets compared to standard systems, creating a powerful, golden serum. This nutrient-rich plasma is meticulously reinjected by Jennifer Couso, APN, FNP-BC into specific areas of concern. Once delivered, these growth factors immediately get to work, recruiting your body’s reparative cells and stimulating the production of new, healthy collagen and elastin.
Understanding the Difference: PRP vs. PRF
While both treatments harness the power of your blood, they function in distinct, complementary ways:
- PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): Acts as a rapid-release system, delivering a high concentration of growth factors immediately to the tissue to jumpstart cellular repair and collagen production.
- PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin): Contains a fibrin matrix that creates a natural scaffold under the skin. This allows for a slower, sustained release of growth factors over time, prolonging the regenerative effects and providing subtle volume enhancement.
The Microneedling Synergy
To further amplify these results, these therapies can be combined with medical-grade microneedling. This synergistic approach creates controlled micro-channels in the skin, allowing the growth factors to penetrate deeper into the dermal layers. This combination significantly boosts absorption and enhances the overall efficacy of the restoration process, targeting texture and tone simultaneously.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a treatment take?
The entire process, including the blood draw, centrifugation, and injection, typically takes about 45 to 60 minutes.
Does the treatment hurt?
Most clients report only minimal discomfort. We apply a topical numbing cream beforehand to ensure the process is as comfortable as possible.
Is there any downtime?
There is minimal social downtime. You may experience some mild redness, swelling, or pinpoint bruising at the injection sites, which typically resolves within a few days. We advise avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
When will I see my results?
Unlike fillers, results are not immediate. Because the treatment relies on your body’s natural collagen production and cellular repair, you may begin to notice improvements in skin texture and radiance within a few weeks. Full results, especially for hair restoration, develop over the following 2-3 months.
How many treatments will I need?
For optimal results, a series of 3-4 treatments, spaced about 4-6 weeks apart, is typically recommended. Jennifer will create a personalized plan for you during your consultation.
How long do results last?
Once your initial series is complete, results can be long-lasting, as you have built your own new collagen. Maintenance treatments are recommended every 6-12 months to preserve your outcome.
