Regeneration, From Your Own Body
PRP & PRF in Lambertville
At Angie Scott Medical Aesthetics in Lambertville, we help patients from across the Toledo and Sylvania area rejuvenate skin and hair using their body’s own regenerative power. PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) both begin with a small sample of your own blood, concentrated to harness the platelets and growth factors your body uses to repair and renew.
PRP is applied topically to improve skin texture, soften fine lines, and stimulate hair follicles. PRF, an advanced next step, is injected to work deeper, forming a natural scaffold that releases growth factors gradually over time.
Because both use your own biology rather than synthetic material, the results look and feel natural, building as your skin regenerates itself.
PRP & PRF Overview
PRP and PRF are regenerative treatments made from your own blood. After a simple draw, the sample is spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets and growth factors your body uses to heal. PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is a liquid concentrate applied to the skin, often alongside microneedling, to improve texture and support hair growth. PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) is a thicker, next-generation concentrate that forms a fibrin scaffold and is injected for deeper, longer-acting rejuvenation. Both rely entirely on your body’s own regenerative properties.
How PRP & PRF Work
It starts with a small blood draw, much like a routine lab test. Your sample is placed in a centrifuge that separates and concentrates the platelets and growth factors your body uses to heal. For PRP, that concentrate is applied to the skin, typically after microneedling creates tiny channels so it can absorb, stimulating collagen and, on the scalp, hair follicles. For PRF, the concentrate forms a fibrin scaffold that is injected into deeper areas, where it releases growth factors slowly over the following days and weeks, so your skin rebuilds gradually and on its own.
PRP vs. PRF
The two are closely related but suited to different goals. PRP is a liquid, applied topically (often with microneedling), and is ideal for surface concerns: skin texture, fine lines, and hair follicle stimulation. PRF is thicker and injected, releasing growth factors gradually for deeper, longer-lasting rejuvenation and support. Many patients use PRP for the skin’s surface and hair, and PRF where more structural, gradual regeneration is the goal. PRF also complements treatments like dermal fillers for a fuller regenerative plan. Your provider will recommend one or both based on your goals.

Why Try PRP & PRF in Lambertville?
01
Your own biology
PRP and PRF use your body's own platelets and growth factors, not synthetic material, so results look and feel natural.
02
Surface and depth
PRP, applied topically, refreshes skin texture, fine lines, and hair; PRF, injected, works deeper with a gradual, sustained release of growth factors.
03
Gradual, natural results
As your body regenerates, results build over the weeks following treatment and continue to develop, rather than appearing all at once.
The PRP & PRF Process
What to Expect?
Consultation
Every treatment starts with a consultation. We review your goals, medical history, and the areas you want to address, then recommend PRP, PRF, or both, and explain the gradual timeline so you know what to expect.
Blood draw & preparation
We take a small sample of your blood, much like a routine lab draw, and spin it in a centrifuge to concentrate your platelets and growth factors. This takes only a few minutes.
Your treatment
For PRP, we apply the concentrate to the skin, often after microneedling, or to the scalp for hair. For PRF, we inject the concentrate into deeper areas. Most visits take about 45 to 60 minutes, and you can return to your day afterward.
Next steps
We give you aftercare instructions and, because regenerative results build over time, we space any recommended series and schedule follow-ups so we can watch your results develop over the following weeks.
Before Your Treatment
Before your PRP or PRF appointment in Lambertville, we recommend:
- Stay well hydrated in the days before, and drink water the morning of your appointment to support the blood draw.
- Eat a normal meal before your visit.
- Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and vitamin E for about one week beforehand (unless prescribed by your doctor) to reduce bruising.
- Avoid alcohol for 24 to 48 hours before your session.
- Tell your provider about any blood-related conditions or medications you take.
After Your Treatment
To get the most from your PRP or PRF results, we recommend:
- Expect mild redness, warmth, swelling, or bruising for a few days.
- If you had PRP with microneedling, use a gentle cleanser and broad-spectrum SPF, and avoid active skincare ingredients as directed.
- Avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun, and heat (saunas, hot tubs) for 24 hours.
- Be patient. Regenerative results build gradually over the weeks after treatment.
