FAQs
Is RF the same as PRP? Radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling offers some skin tightening qualities that Traditional and PRP Microneedling do not offer. Radiofrequency energy also penetrates deeper into the skin. Therefore, for deeper sun damage, scarring and other concerns, RF Microneedling is the better choice.
Does PRP really regrow hair? Most patients will experience a natural thickening and regrowth of hair in weeks following the procedure, although the peak of collagen production typically occurs approximately 3 months after the first injections.
How long do the results last? It depends on various factors such as age, lifestyle, etc. however, PRP lasts from 18-24 months.
Is a Vampire Facial as good as Botox? PRP therapy for the skin boosts collagen production, leaving your skin more elastic, blemish-free and tighter. Usually, people who prefer to use natural products, rather than Botox, choose PRP treatments which diminish fine lines. However, Botox may be more suitable for you if you only need to reduce the appearance of dynamic creases and lines, such as frown lines, crow's feet & more. However, whilst Botox has more profound results than PRP, the effects fade away within 4-6 months, whereas PRP results last longer (18-24 months).
How painful is a Vampire Facial? Patients may experience some pain and slight bruising following a Vampire facial. However, it is typically considered to be tolerated well by most individuals. You can usually return to your normal routine and work almost immediately following the cosmetic treatment.
