There is a category of skin concern that fillers and neurotoxins may not fully address: the thin, crepe-textured skin under the eyes, the subtle loss of tone along the cheeks and jawline, the overall dullness that sets in after years of Wisconsin winters and sun-heavy summers. These changes are not about volume. They are about what the skin has lost at a cellular level, and the most direct way to address them is to work with what your body already knows how to do.
At VIVE Med Spa, we offer regenerative undereye and facial injections in Verona, WI, for patients throughout Fitchburg, Madison, Middleton, Oregon, Belleville, and New Glarus. Using your own blood-derived growth factors, this approach stimulates the skin’s repair processes from within rather than masking the signs of change from the outside.
PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) and PRP (platelet-rich plasma) are both derived from a small sample of your own blood, processed to concentrate the growth factors responsible for tissue repair and collagen production. Injected into targeted areas of the face, they signal the skin to regenerate, improving texture, tone, and firmness over a series of weeks.
The distinction between the two comes down to how those growth factors are released. PRP delivers a faster, more concentrated burst of growth factor activity, while PRF releases them gradually through a fibrin matrix, extending the regenerative effect over a longer period. At VIVE, the choice between them, or a combination of both, is determined by your specific skin concerns and treatment goals.
PRF under the eyes and PRP treatment for the face improve skin quality, reduce the transparent, crepe-like texture that makes darkness more pronounced, and restore subtle volume through collagen stimulation rather than direct filler placement.
Skin thinning and early laxity across the mid-face respond well to growth factor injections, which rebuild the collagen density that supports surface texture and firmness over time.
Volume loss and laxity along the lower face create a softening of contour that structural treatments alone may not fully resolve. Regenerative injections in this zone address the underlying tissue quality driving that change.
PRF facials and full-face PRP injections treat diffuse skin aging across multiple zones in a single session, improving overall tone, texture, and luminosity through the body’s own repair mechanisms.
PRP therapy added to a microneedling session amplifies the collagen response triggered by microneedling. Growth factors are applied directly into the microchannels created during treatment, deepening the skin renewal effect and accelerating visible improvement in texture and fine lines.
Your consultation evaluates the areas of concern, your skin quality, and whether PRF, PRP, or a combination approach best matches your goals. We discuss your timeline and what realistic improvement looks like across the full treatment course.
A small blood sample is drawn on the day of treatment and spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the growth factor-rich components. The process takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes and is performed in the office before your injection.
Injections are placed into the target areas using fine needles or a cannula, depending on the zone. Sessions take 60 to 90 minutes from blood draw through treatment completion. A topical numbing agent is applied beforehand to minimize discomfort.
We follow up after your session to monitor how your skin is responding and to determine whether additional sessions would support your outcome.
When it comes to growth factor treatments, the outcome depends not only on the quality of the processing but on how well the injector understands tissue depth, treatment sequencing, and what a realistic improvement arc looks like for each patient’s skin. At VIVE, we approach these treatments with the same thoroughness we bring to every injectable service, starting with an honest assessment of what this treatment can and cannot do for your specific concerns.
Patients from across Verona, Fitchburg, Madison, Middleton, and the surrounding communities come to VIVE because they want a provider who understands that looking better should not require looking different. Regenerative injections fit that standard well because the results build gradually and read as your own skin improving, not as a procedure you had done.
Fillers physically add volume to a specific area. These treatments work by stimulating your skin’s collagen production, improving tissue quality, texture, and tone over time rather than immediately filling a space. The results are more gradual but integrate naturally with your existing skin structure.
Most patients see the best outcomes from a series of 2 to 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. A single session can produce noticeable improvement, but collagen remodeling builds cumulatively across a full treatment course.
Yes, when performed by a trained injector with experience in the periorbital zone. The undereye area requires precise placement and an understanding of the tissue layers. Swelling in this area after treatment is common and typically resolves within a few days.
PRF and PRP are commonly combined with microneedling and can be sequenced alongside other skin treatments. Whether combination treatment is appropriate at the same session depends on what else is being done and the condition of your skin, which we assess at the consultation.
Initial changes in skin texture and tone typically become visible within 3 to 4 weeks as collagen production ramps up. Full results from a complete treatment series often become apparent 3 to 6 months after the final session.
Regenerative treatments work on a different timeline than most injectables, and that is precisely what makes them worth considering for the right concerns. At VIVE Med Spa in Verona, WI, we take the time to determine whether this approach fits your goals before recommending it, and to walk you through every stage of the process so you know what to expect.
If you are ready to find out whether growth factor injections are the right next step for your skin, start with a consultation.
