How is PRF injections different from hyaluronic acid filler?
PRF is an all natural alternative to filler. PRF requires a series of injections to achieve optimal results. Treatments are recommended every 4-6 weeks x 3 sessions. During the series, the PRF is actually stimulating your body to produce collagen and elastin to enhance volume naturally. PRF injections are $300 per treatment area per session. Volume of PRF will vary based on the treatment area and how much is generated from the blood draw. PRF can last up to 18 months after a series of 3 treatment sessions are completed.
Hyaluronic acid filler is priced based on syringes at $600 per syringe. Hyaluronic acid filler lasts 6-18 months depending on product selection and treatment area.

Pre Treatment Care Instructions
· Do not consume alcoholic beverages at least 24 hours prior to treatment (alcohol may thin the blood and increase the risk of bruising)
· Avoid anti-inflammatory/blood thinning medications, if possible, for a period of 2 weeks before treatment. Medications and supplements such as aspirin, vitamin E, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, St. John’s Wort, Omega 3/Fish Oil supplements, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, Aleve and other NSAIDS have a blood thinning effect and can increase the risk of bruising and swelling after injections.
· Schedule your Filler appointment at least 3-4 weeks prior to any special events. Bruising and swelling may be apparent in that time period.
· Reschedule your appointment at least 24 hours in advance if you have a rash, cold sore or blemish on the area. If you have a history of cold sores please let your provider know, they may put you on an anti-viral medication prior to treatment.
· Be sure to have a good breakfast, including food and drink before your procedure. This will decrease the chances of lightheadedness during your treatment.
· You are not a candidate if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Post Treatment Care Instructions
· Bruising and swelling is expected after filler. This will gradually improve over the next 2 weeks. Bumps and asymmetries may persist for 2-4 weeks post injection.
· If you experience any changes in vision, extreme discomfort/swelling/bruising, or areas of blanching (white discolorations) that has no blood flow please contact the office immediately for further evaluation.
· Avoid significant movement or massage of the treated area. Unless instructed by the provider.
· Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours.

· Try to sleep face up and slightly elevated (using two pillows) to decrease swelling. Change your pillowcase tonight to avoid infection.
· You can take Arnica (over the counter) to help the bruising and swelling, start at least 2 days prior to injections and continue after your treatment until bruising subsides.
· Wash your hands thoroughly before touching your face. Avoid pressing a dirty cell phone or sunglasses against your face.
