PRP and PRF therapy in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL at Dermagnify are the most advanced natural regenerative treatments available today, using your body's own platelets to rejuvenate skin and stimulate healing.
At Dermagnify, Medical, Surgical and Cosmetic Dermatology in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL, Dr. Mark A. Cappel, MD, offers both PRP and PRF therapy to patients in Ponte Vedra Beach, Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and throughout Northeast Florida.
The visible signs of aging—fine lines, wrinkles, loss of volume, dull skin, and thinning hair—can significantly impact your confidence and quality of life. While synthetic fillers, lasers, and topical treatments can provide temporary improvements, they do not address the underlying cellular dysfunction that causes these concerns.
These cutting-edge procedures use concentrated platelets, growth factors, and healing proteins derived from your own blood to stimulate collagen production, improve skin quality, restore hair growth, and accelerate tissue regeneration. PRP and PRF work by delivering a powerful cocktail of growth factors directly to the treatment area, triggering your body's natural healing response and promoting cellular renewal.
ezPRF® (Enhanced Platelet-Rich Fibrin) and ezGel® are advanced platelet-based therapies derived from your own blood.
ezPRF® releases growth factors slowly over several days, promoting sustained collagen production, improved skin quality, and enhanced tissue regeneration.
ezGel® is a heat-modified form of PRF that creates a smooth, gel-like consistency. It provides gentle structural support while continuing to release growth factors, making it ideal for delicate areas such as under the eyes or for improving overall skin firmness.
Wondering which preparation is right for your concern? Read our dermatologist's breakdown of PRP vs. PRF and when each one works best.
Key Concerns Addressed
Fine Lines, Wrinkles & Skin Aging
As collagen and elastin production decline with age, fine lines and wrinkles become more pronounced, and skin loses its firmness and radiance. PRP and PRF stimulate robust collagen and elastin production, improving skin thickness, elasticity, and overall quality. Clinical studies show significant improvements in wrinkles, with 40% of studies reporting visible reduction.
Loss of Volume & Facial Hollowing
Volume loss in the cheeks, under-eyes, and temples creates a hollow, aged appearance. PRP and PRF stimulate tissue regeneration and plump the skin from within, restoring a more youthful, fuller appearance naturally.
Dull, Tired Skin & Uneven Texture
When cellular turnover slows and skin quality declines, the complexion appears dull, rough, and lackluster. PRP and PRF promote cellular renewal and improve skin texture, revealing brighter, smoother, more radiant skin.
Acne Scars & Skin Irregularities
Atrophic acne scars and textural irregularities are caused by collagen loss and tissue damage. PRP and PRF stimulate collagen remodeling and tissue repair, improving the appearance of scars and creating smoother, more even skin.
Dark Circles & Under-Eye Hollowing
The delicate under-eye area often shows signs of aging first, with dark circles, hollowing, and crepey skin. PRP and PRF improve skin quality, thickness, and circulation in this area, reducing dark circles and creating a more refreshed appearance.

Patient-Focused Approach
The field of regenerative medicine and aesthetic rejuvenation has expanded significantly, offering patients a range of options from synthetic fillers to energy-based devices to natural biologic treatments.
PRP and PRF stand out as the most natural, biocompatible options available, using your body's own healing mechanisms to stimulate collagen production and tissue regeneration. Unlike synthetic fillers that add foreign substances to the skin, PRP and PRF work from within to improve skin quality and promote natural healing.
Unlike energy-based treatments that use heat to stimulate collagen, PRP and PRF deliver growth factors directly to cells, providing more targeted and sustained regeneration. Understanding how PRP and PRF compare to other rejuvenation options can help you choose the most effective and natural treatment for your concerns.
| Treatment | How It Works | Downtime | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| PRP Therapy | Concentrated platelets and growth factors from your blood stimulate collagen and healing. | Minimal | Skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, natural results; 100% biocompatible. |
| PRF Therapy | Higher concentration of growth factors with slow release over 7-10 days for superior results. | Minimal | Advanced skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, longer-lasting results; superior to PRP. |
| Dermal Fillers (HA) | Injectable synthetic hyaluronic acid adds immediate volume. | Minimal | Immediate volume restoration; temporary results (6-18 months); does not stimulate natural production. |

TREATMENT
OVERVIEW
Your Initial Consultation
During your consultation, Dr. Cappel, MD, will assess your skin concerns or hair loss, discuss your goals, and determine if PRP or PRF therapy is the right treatment for you. He will explain the differences between PRP and PRF and recommend the best option for your needs.
Preparation
You should stay well-hydrated and avoid alcohol, smoking, and anti-inflammatory medications (such as ibuprofen) for at least 48 hours before your treatment, as these can affect platelet function. Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin (for facial treatments).
During the Treatment
A small amount of blood (similar to a routine lab test) will be drawn from your arm. Your blood will be processed in a centrifuge to create PRP or PRF. For facial rejuvenation, the PRP/PRF will be injected into the treatment areas using fine needles, or applied topically with microneedling.
Potential Risks
PRP and PRF therapy are very safe treatments with minimal risk, as they use your own blood. The most common side effects are temporary redness, swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the injection sites, which typically resolve within 1-3 days. Serious complications such as infection are extremely rare when proper sterile techniques are followed.
How Much Does PRP & PRF Therapy Cost in Ponte Vedra Beach?
The cost of ezPRF and ezGel treatments depends on the areas treated and the number of sessions recommended for optimal results.
A typical treatment plan consists of 3-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for facial rejuvenation or hair restoration. We will provide transparent pricing during your consultation and work with you to create a plan that fits your budget.
Many patients find that PRP/PRF therapy is an excellent value for the natural, long-lasting results it provides. We offer flexible payment options and package pricing to make this transformative treatment accessible.
