PRGF Plasma Injections – Advanced Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy in Staten Island

Revitalize your skin and hair with next-generation PRGF plasma treatments, now available at Thirsty Botox Bar in Staten Island, NY.

PRGF (Plasma Rich in Growth Factors) is a cutting-edge regenerative therapy that elevates traditional PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) to a new level of precision, purity, and performance. Derived from your own blood, PRGF isolates and concentrates powerful growth factors that actively stimulate cellular renewal, collagen synthesis, and tissue repair—making it a remarkably natural and effective solution for both skin rejuvenation and hair restoration. Unlike conventional PRP, PRGF is free of inflammatory cells and processed under stringent conditions to ensure consistency and safety, resulting in a gentler, more refined treatment experience. Whether you're looking to soften fine lines, restore youthful skin tone and texture, improve under-eye hollows, or address thinning hair, PRGF offers visible improvements with minimal to no downtime. Perfect for those seeking non-surgical, science-backed results, this treatment is now proudly offered in a relaxed, professional setting right here at Thirsty Botox Bar in Staten Island.

PRGF (Plasma Rich in Growth Factors) – Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is PRGF?

PRGF stands for Plasma Rich in Growth Factors. It is an advanced, autologous (from your own body) regenerative therapy derived from a small sample of your blood. After processing in a special centrifuge, the plasma is separated and enriched with growth factors—proteins that stimulate tissue repair, collagen production, and cellular regeneration.

Unlike traditional PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), PRGF is purer, contains no leukocytes (white blood cells that can cause inflammation), and is processed under highly controlled, sterile conditions, leading to superior biological activity and reduced risk of adverse reactions.

2. What is PRGF used for?

PRGF is used in various medical and cosmetic applications:

Aesthetic / Dermatology:

Facial rejuvenation (non-surgical)
Wrinkle reduction
Skin tone and texture improvement
Under-eye dark circles and puffiness
Acne and atrophic scars
Hair loss / early-stage alopecia
Neck, chest, and hand rejuvenation

Orthopedics & Sports Medicine:

Tendonitis, ligament, and muscle injuries
Osteoarthritis (knee, shoulder, hip, etc.)
Joint inflammation
Cartilage regeneration
Post-surgery healing support

Dental / Oral Surgery:

Accelerated healing after tooth extractions
Bone regeneration for implants
Periodontal tissue regeneration
TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders

3. How is the treatment performed?

Blood draw – A small amount of your blood is collected (similar to a routine blood test).
Centrifugation – The blood is spun in a special centrifuge to separate the plasma and concentrate the growth factors.
Application – The PRGF is then injected or applied to the targeted area (e.g., face, joints, scalp, gums) using sterile techniques.

In facial or hair procedures, microneedling or direct injection techniques may be used to enhance absorption.

4. Is the treatment painful?

Most patients report minimal discomfort.
A topical anesthetic or local numbing agent may be applied before aesthetic procedures.
Joint and scalp injections may cause brief pressure or tenderness, but it is generally well tolerated.

5. How long does the treatment take?

The full procedure typically takes 20–45 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
There is no downtime, although mild redness, swelling, or tenderness can occur for 1–2 days.

6. How many sessions are needed?

Aesthetic procedures: Often 2–3 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart, with maintenance once or twice per year.
Hair restoration: Typically a series of 3–6 sessions depending on severity, followed by maintenance every 4–6 months.
Orthopedic cases: 1–3 sessions, spaced a few weeks apart.

The treatment plan can vary based on individual goals and clinical condition.

7. When will I see results?

Skin rejuvenation: Initial glow within a few days, with full results developing over 2–6 weeks as collagen builds.
Hair restoration: Early improvement may be noticed in 6–8 weeks, with continued results over 3–6 months.
Orthopedic conditions: Pain and mobility often improve gradually over 1–4 weeks, with continued healing up to several months.

8. How long do the results last?

Facial treatments: Results typically last 6 to 12 months, depending on skin condition and lifestyle.
Hair restoration: Maintenance is recommended every 4–6 months.
Joint therapy: Relief can last 6 months to 1 year or more, depending on the underlying issue and physical activity.

9. Are there any side effects or risks?

Because PRGF is made from your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is extremely low.

Mild side effects may include:

Redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site
Temporary tenderness
Headache (especially with scalp treatments)

These effects are usually mild and resolve within 24–48 hours.

10. Who is not a candidate for PRGF?

PRGF is not recommended for individuals with:

Blood disorders or clotting issues
Very low platelet count
Active infection or inflammation at the treatment site
Autoimmune or neurological conditions such as:
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Myasthenia Gravis
- Bell’s Palsy
Pregnant or breastfeeding women

A full medical evaluation is done prior to treatment to ensure safety.
