Most aesthetic treatments introduce something into the body: a neurotoxin to relax a muscle, a gel to restore volume. PRP and PRF work differently. A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm at the start of the appointment, concentrated in a centrifuge, and returned to a specific area targeted for treatment. Rather than filling a line or softening a movement, these treatments prompt the tissue to rebuild itself, which is why they suit concerns that are about quality rather than volume: skin that has thinned, a scalp where follicles have weakened, texture that topical products cannot improve.
At VIVE Med Spa, we offer PRP and PRF in Verona, WI, for patients throughout Fitchburg, Madison, Middleton, Oregon, Belleville, and New Glarus. The same underlying process treats hair loss, facial skin quality, and volume restoration, with the preparation adjusted to the area being treated.
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) are both derived from a small sample of your own blood, processed to concentrate the growth factors responsible for tissue repair, collagen production, and cellular regeneration. Injected into a target area, they signal the surrounding tissue to regenerate.
The distinction between the two comes down to how those growth factors are released. Platelet-rich plasma delivers a faster, more concentrated burst of activity. Platelet-rich fibrin releases them gradually through a fibrin matrix, extending the regenerative effect over a longer window.

When injected into the scalp, the concentrate delivers a targeted signal to dormant or weakened hair follicles, encouraging them to return to active growth. This treatment addresses androgenetic alopecia, diffuse thinning, post-partum and stress-related shedding, and early recession along the hairline, while improving scalp tissue quality overall. Most patients complete a series of three sessions, with reduced shedding often appearing within six to eight weeks and visible density developing over the months that follow.

When injected into the face, the concentrate improves texture, tone, and firmness over a series of weeks, addressing under-eye hollowing, skin thinning, and early laxity across the mid-face, loss of contour along the jawline, and diffuse skin aging across multiple zones. Unlike dermal filler, which physically adds volume, this approach stimulates your own collagen production, so results build gradually rather than appearing all at once. Most patients see the best outcomes from two to three sessions.

Bio-filler is made by processing your own PRF into a gel that can be injected the way a traditional filler would be, restoring volume while the growth factors continue stimulating collagen in the treated area. Because the material comes entirely from your own blood, no synthetic product is involved, which makes it a good option for patients who want volume restoration without synthetic filler. Your consultation will determine whether bio-filler or a hyaluronic acid filler better suits the area and outcome you have in mind.
Your consultation evaluates the area of concern, the tissue or scalp condition, and any contributing factors such as hormonal changes or nutritional gaps. We discuss whether PRP, PRF, or a combined approach suits your situation, and what a realistic treatment timeline looks like.
A small blood sample is drawn in the office and spun in a centrifuge to isolate the growth factor-rich fraction. This takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes and is completed immediately before your treatment.
The processed solution is injected into the target area using a fine needle or cannula, depending on the zone. Scalp sessions take 45 to 60 minutes from blood draw through completion; facial sessions take 60 to 90 minutes. A topical numbing agent is applied beforehand to manage discomfort.
We follow up to assess how the area is responding and determine whether your treatment plan requires any adjustment before the next session.
The VIVE Wallet is a monthly savings program that lets you set money aside for future treatments. Your contributions stay yours to spend on services, and membership adds savings on aesthetic services and retail skincare, along with additional perks throughout the year. Three levels are available: Silver, Gold, and Platinum.
Regenerative treatment is easy to oversell. Because the material comes from your own body, it invites language about being natural and safe that skips a harder question: whether your tissue will actually respond. Follicles dormant for years may not reactivate, and skin past a certain degree of laxity will not tighten from collagen stimulation alone. We would rather answer that at consultation than sell you a series that will disappoint you.
Patients from Verona, Fitchburg, Madison, Middleton, Cross Plains, Sun Prairie, and the surrounding communities trust VIVE because we tell them what is achievable before anything is scheduled, including how many sessions it will take and how long before they see anything.
Fillers physically add volume to a specific area. PRP and PRF work by stimulating your skin’s own collagen production, improving tissue quality, texture, and tone over time rather than immediately filling a space. Bio-filler does both: it restores volume the way a filler does, but the material comes from your own blood and continues stimulating collagen once placed.
Sessions are spaced four to six weeks apart. For facial treatment, most patients see the best outcomes from two to three sessions; for hair, a series of three is typical. A single session can produce noticeable improvement, but collagen remodeling and follicular response build cumulatively across a full course.
No. Platelet-rich plasma therapy is most effective when follicles are still present but inactive or weakened. Areas of complete follicular loss do not respond. Your consultation will assess which zones are treatable based on your current pattern.
Yes, when performed by a trained injector with experience in the periorbital zone. The area requires precise placement and an understanding of the tissue layers. Swelling here after treatment is common and typically resolves within a few days.
Changes in skin texture and tone typically begin as early as three to four weeks as collagen production ramps up, with full results from a complete series apparent three to six months after the final session. For hair, reduced shedding often appears within six to eight weeks. A minimum of three sessions is generally recommended for optimal results.
Yes. PRP and PRF are commonly combined with microneedling and can be sequenced alongside topical treatments, nutritional support, and other skin or scalp interventions. Whether combination treatment is appropriate at the same session depends on what else is being done, which we assess at consultation.
Regenerative treatment works on a different timeline than most injectables, and that is what makes it worth considering for the right concerns. At VIVE Med Spa in Verona, WI, we work with patients from across Fitchburg, Madison, Middleton, Cross Plains, Sun Prairie, and the surrounding area to determine whether this approach fits your goals.
