Navigating the world of aesthetics can be daunting, but I'm here to simplify it for you. Recently, I explored the differences between PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) for under-eye rejuvenation. Having used PRP for years, I was hesitant about PRF, but my findings reveal compelling reasons to consider this newer treatment. Both methods harness your body's natural healing powers, yet PRF offers a slow-release of growth factors for longer-lasting results. Curious about which is right for you? Dive into my latest blog to uncover the benefits and decide the best path for your under-eye rejuvenation.

Concerned about your neck’s aging appearance? Hyper diluted Radiesse might be a solution! This calcium hydroxyapatite-based filler stimulates collagen, reducing fine wrinkles and tightening skin. After recent training with Shino Bay, Dr. Heather Friedman is excited to offer this treatment. Using a cannula for minimal injections, she maps five points on the neck and applies hyper diluted Radiesse in a fan pattern. Results show in three weeks, with optimal effects at six weeks. Typically, two sessions six weeks apart are recommended, followed by yearly refreshes. Not suitable for those on blood thinners or with compromised immune systems. Interested?

Entering my fifth year in medical injectables in 2024, I've honed my skills with treatments like hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers. Despite their rarity, complications can arise, as experienced with a client's early onset nodule, a first for me. Supporting her recovery, I learned the importance of patient education and vigilance. Through prompt intervention and medication, her condition improved, reinforcing my commitment to patient safety. Sharing these experiences, I aim to demystify rare complications and underscore the importance of informed consent in cosmetic procedures.

Hair loss is a widespread concern, affecting men and women alike. With PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy gaining traction, there's renewed hope for those seeking effective solutions. PRP utilizes your body's natural healing components, particularly platelets rich in growth factors, to stimulate hair growth. Understanding the underlying causes of hair loss, whether genetic, hormonal, or environmental, is key to tailoring treatment. While PRP shows promise, especially for early-stage androgenic alopecia, it's often complemented by other interventions like prescription medications, supplements, and low-level laser therapy for optimal results. Studies indicate PRP's efficacy, with recommended treatment protocols emphasizing regular sessions over time for sustained benefits.
