How It Works
Treatment starts with a personal consultation. We’ll discuss your concerns and goals, and we’ll examine your treatment area(s). If PRP, PRF, and Growth Factors in Foxborough can enhance your results, we’ll create a treatment plan.
To make PRP, PRF, and Growth Factors, a small amount of your blood is drawn and centrifuged to separate out the platelets and the plasma. The concentrated factors are added to treatments for improved healing and rejuvenation.

Let our team help you on your aesthetic journey!
You’re a good candidate for PRP, PRF, and Growth Factors if you’re an adult who wants a natural, minimally invasive solution for aging skin, under-eye hollows, or hair loss.
Ideal candidates are women or men who:
- Are generally in good health.
- Do not smoke.
- Have not had recent steroid treatments.
- Are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Have no active skin infections or rashes in the treatment area.
To harvest the PRP, PRF, and Growth Factors for your treatment, your Dream Spa Medical provider first draws blood from your arm. The collected blood is then spun in a special centrifuge, which separates the various components. Once the platelet-rich plasma has been harvested, it is then re-injected and/or microneedled back into the treatment area. It can also be added to a gel to spread on the surface of the skin in the treatment area.
There is no significant recovery time needed, and you can return to your regular daily activities immediately. Keep in mind that, similar to any injectable treatment, there may be some temporary side effects after the session. You may experience a small amount of pain or slight bleeding at the injection site, as well as swelling for 4 to 5 days. As a topical gel, it causes no issues to the skin. Because PRP, PRF, and Growth Factors are derived from your own blood, they pose a very low risk of reaction.
PRP and PRF treatments are often added to other treatments as a topical “vampire” addition or as a serum used during microneedling. They provide a number of additional benefits, including:
- Tighter, firmer skin.
- Enhanced collagen production.
- Improved skin tone, texture, and quality.
- Brighter, smoother, fuller skin under the eyes.
- Renewed hair growth.
- An alternative to dermal filler.
- Non-surgical hair restoration.
- A thicker, stronger head of hair
- Long-lasting results.
Pre- and Post-Care Instructions for PRP, PRF, and Growth Factors in Foxborough
- Women who are pregnant or nursing should not be treated with PRP, PRF, and Growth Factor injections.
- We suggest that if you are actively trying to conceive, you consult your physician before being treated with PRP, PRF, and Growth Factor injections.
- Please allow a minimum of 2 weeks’ time in between any vaccinations and your treatment.
- It is best to avoid alcohol & blood-thinning medications (aspirin, ibuprofen, etc.) 24 to 48 hours prior to your treatment. This may increase your risk of bruising.
- Bruising is always a risk with this procedure. For this reason, we recommend taking Arnica tablets for 5 days leading up to your procedure.
- If you are prone to and being treated in an area that may cause a Herpes Labialis outbreak, we suggest pretreating with an antiviral medication for 2 days prior to your treatment and 2 days post-treatment. Dream Spa Medical is happy to provide you with a prescription, assuming that you are a candidate for this prescription.
- We always suggest hydrating as much as possible prior to any treatment at Dream Spa Medical. It is a great way to help your body function at its best and help to accelerate your healing time as well as enhance results. For this treatment, we strongly encourage increasing your hydration by 30% to 50% as well as increasing intake of green leafy vegetables, such as celery juice, as it drastically improves the quality of the growth factor content that we are able to extract from your blood.
- You may consider having at least a snack or a small meal within an hour of your appointment. Getting injected with needles and/or having your blood taken can, at times, cause you to feel “queasy” or unwell. It always helps to have a little something in your stomach to combat those feelings. We keep juice and snack bars on hand in case you need a little pick-me-up mid-treatment!
- The treated area will feel sensitive and tender to the touch. This should resolve within 24 to 48 hours.
- Bruising and swelling can be expected and will subside within 3 to 7 days. Most of the swelling is actually the fluid or plasma portion of the product being absorbed by your body as the platelet portion of the product creates the growth stimulating matrix. It is important not to apply pressure to this area for at least a week after your treatment, as any pressure could disrupt the matrix and impede results. You may gently apply Arnica for bruising.
- Avoid NSAIDs and aspirin for approximately 2 weeks after your treatment. NSAIDs increase the risk of bruising and interfere with the collagen stimulating process.
- Avoid heavy lifting, strenuous activity, and excessive sweating for 24 to 48 hours.
- Visible injection marks are normal and to be expected in most cases. This usually subsides within 24 hours. You may apply makeup after this timeframe.
- Treated areas should be cared for gently when washing your face or applying products. It is best not to touch or manipulate the treated area.
- Do not scratch or pick at the injection sites, as this may cause infection.
- We suggest waiting a minimum of 1 week before any additional treatments, such as facials, peels, laser treatments, etc.
- Try to sleep on your back, with your head elevated, for 1 to 2 nights.
PRP/PRF injectable treatments are highly effective treatments that utilize your body’s own natural growth factors to rejuvenate areas of concern. These treatments are most effective when combined with collagen induction therapy and done as part of a series.
