Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)

Cosmetic Aesthetics:

– We use PRF treatments to enhance skin rejuvenation, stimulating collagen production to improve skin texture and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. This natural approach accelerates healing and helps you achieve a more youthful appearance.

Who is it for?

PRF treatment is suitable for individuals looking to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of dark circles, stimulate hair growth, or enhance overall skin health. It is ideal for patients between 20-70 years old and can target issues like sun damage, acne scarring, and sagging skin.

Joint Pain Management:

– Our PRF injections are also effective for joint pain management, treating conditions like tendonitis and ligament injuries. These treatments promote faster healing, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain by enhancing tissue repair.

At Monumental Med Spa, we leverage the body’s natural healing processes with PRF to provide you with effective and biocompatible treatments.
