PRF and PRP Treatments in Waxhaw, NC

Regenerate. Restore. Refresh.

Natural Rejuvenation Using Your Body’s Own Platelets.

At Pearl Aesthetix, we offer PRF and PRP treatments in Waxhaw, NC, to support skin rejuvenation, under-eye improvement, collagen production, and healthier-looking hair.

Platelet-rich fibrin and platelet-rich plasma are created from a small sample of your own blood. The concentrated platelets and naturally occurring growth factors are then used to encourage the body’s natural renewal response.

It is regenerative aesthetics—with results that develop naturally over time.

What Are PRF and PRP?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) are regenerative treatments that use your body's own natural healing properties to support tissue repair, collagen production, and rejuvenation.

Both treatments begin with a simple blood draw. Your blood is placed into specialized tubes and processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets and growth factors. The resulting PRP or PRF is then injected into targeted areas or combined with other aesthetic treatments for enhanced results.

The primary difference is how they're processed. PRP contains concentrated platelets suspended in plasma, while PRF is processed differently to create a fibrin matrix that may allow growth factors to be released more gradually over time. The best option for you depends on your treatment goals, anatomy, medical history, and your provider's recommendation.

PRF for Under-Eye Rejuvenation

PRF helps stimulate collagen production to improve the appearance of thin, crepey, or tired-looking under-eye skin. Unlike fillers, results develop gradually for a subtle, natural-looking refresh.

PRP & PRF for Hair Restoration

PRP and PRF support healthier, fuller-looking hair by delivering growth factors directly to the scalp. A series of treatments with periodic maintenance is typically recommended for best results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is PRF the same as filler?

No. PRF does not act like traditional hyaluronic-acid filler and does not provide the same immediate volume or structural correction. It is used to support gradual skin and tissue rejuvenation.

How many PRF treatments will I need?

Many clients benefit from a series of two to four treatments. Your recommendation will depend on the area being treated, your goals, age, tissue quality, and response.

How long does under-eye swelling last after PRF?

Under-eye swelling may last several days and can occasionally be more noticeable in the morning. Bruising and tenderness are also possible.

How soon will I see PRP hair-restoration results?

Hair-related results develop gradually because hair grows in cycles. Visible improvement may take several months and often requires a treatment series.

Who is not a candidate for PRP or PRF?

Treatment may not be appropriate for clients with certain blood disorders, platelet abnormalities, active infections, severe anemia, or other medical conditions. Your provider will review your health history before treatment.
