About Service
At Previvo, we don’t chase trends.
We use regenerative medicine to help your body repair, restore, and perform at its best.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy harnesses the healing power already inside you — using your own blood, concentrated with growth factors, to stimulate tissue regeneration, collagen production, hair growth, and cellular repair.
In selected treatments, Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) — an advanced regenerative option — may be used to provide longer-lasting growth factor release.
PRP therapy is part of our longevity-focused approach, designed to restore tissue health and function at the source.

By triggering a controlled healing response, PRP may help improve tissue quality and recovery.
Skin & Under-Eye Rejuvenation
PRP & PRF Skin Treatments
Performed by Anastasia Tsivin, RN
PRP and PRF stimulate natural collagen production to improve skin quality and restore a refreshed, youthful appearance.
Used for
- Fine lines and early wrinkles
- Skin thinning and loss of elasticity
- Uneven texture and tone
- Dull or tired-looking skin
- Under-eye dark circles and hollowing (PRF)
Treatment areas
- Face
- Under eyes
- Neck
- Décolletage
- Hands
PRF is especially effective for delicate areas where sustained regenerative effects provide gradual, natural improvement.
Hair Restoration
PRP & PRF Hair Therapy
PRP and PRF hair treatments deliver growth factors directly to the scalp to stimulate follicle activity and improve hair health.
Benefits
- Stimulation of natural hair growth
- Increased hair thickness
- Reduced shedding
- Improved scalp circulation
PRF may be used when longer-lasting follicle stimulation is desired. These treatments are commonly used for androgenetic alopecia, thinning hair, and receding hairlines.
What Is PRP Therapy?
Your blood is composed of plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Platelets are essential for clotting — but more importantly, they contain hundreds of growth factors responsible for healing and regeneration.
At Previvo, PRP is used across multiple areas of medicine, with PRF used where longer-lasting regenerative effects are beneficial. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is plasma with a platelet concentration 5–10 times higher than normal, delivering a powerful regenerative signal directly to targeted tissues.
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is a next-generation preparation processed without anticoagulants. It forms a natural fibrin matrix that releases growth factors slowly over time and contains additional healing cells.
Is PRP Safe?
Yes. PRP is considered very safe because it is derived entirely from your own blood.
Potential side effects may include:
- Temporary discomfort or swelling
- Mild bruising
- Very rare infection (approximately 1 in 10,000)
- Extremely rare allergic reaction
Not all patients respond the same — which is why every treatment begins with a personalized assessment.
If you experience persistent pain, increasing redness, fever, chills, or unusual symptoms, please contact Previvo or seek urgent medical care.
