Regenerative Medicine at Legacy Aesthetics
What Is PRP Therapy Facial Rejuvenation?
PRP therapy facial rejuvenation uses a concentrated sample of your own blood, processed to isolate platelet-rich plasma, and reintroduced to targeted areas of the skin to stimulate natural tissue repair. At Legacy Aesthetics in San Ramon, we take this a step further with PRFM, or Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix, which creates a sustained-release scaffold of growth factors for longer-lasting results. Because the treatment is autologous, meaning it uses your own biological material, the risk profile is minimal and the outcomes are genuinely natural. This is not a filler or a toxin. It is your skin, supported by its own healing intelligence, working more efficiently than it would on its own.
The Science Behind the Results
Growth Factor Therapy: How Platelet-Rich Plasma Works
When platelets are concentrated and activated, they release a cascade of growth factors including PDGF, TGF-beta, VEGF, and EGF. These proteins signal the skin to produce new collagen, improve vascular supply, and accelerate cellular turnover. The result is a gradual but visible improvement in skin texture, tone, fine lines, pore size, and overall radiance. PRFM takes this process further by suspending the growth factors within a fibrin matrix, slowing their release and extending the period of active tissue remodeling. At Legacy Aesthetics, our clinical team, led by Nicollette Guillen, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of medical experience, and overseen by Medical Director Dr. Farshid Etaee, applies this science with precision to deliver natural skin rejuvenation through PRP and PRFM protocols designed for each individual patient.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About PRP and PRFM Therapy
What is the difference between PRP and PRFM therapy?
Both PRP and PRFM use your blood’s platelets to stimulate healing, but PRFM is a more advanced form that creates a fibrin matrix for longer-lasting results. At Legacy Aesthetics, both options are available to address specific needs in facial and hair rejuvenation.
How long does it take to see results from PRP or PRFM treatments?
Most patients begin to notice improvements in skin texture, tone, or hair density within 4 to 8 weeks after treatment. Full results can continue to develop for several months as collagen production increases and tissue heals.
Are PRP and PRFM treatments painful?
Discomfort is minimal. We use topical numbing and gentle injection techniques, making these treatments suitable even for patients with low pain tolerance. Most describe the sensation as mild pinching or pressure.
How many sessions are recommended for optimal results?
A series of 3 sessions spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart is usually recommended for best results, especially for hair restoration or significant skin rejuvenation. Maintenance sessions every 6 to 12 months can help sustain your improvements.
Is there downtime after PRP or PRFM therapy?
Downtime is minimal. You may experience mild redness or swelling at the injection sites, but most patients return to normal activities the same day. We provide detailed aftercare guidance to support optimal healing.
Who is a good candidate for PRP or PRFM at Legacy Aesthetics?
Ideal candidates are healthy adults seeking natural skin or hair rejuvenation, those with early signs of aging, thinning hair, or individuals interested in improving skin texture and tone without surgery or fillers.
