What's the difference between PRP and PRF?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) uses anticoagulants and concentrates platelets in a liquid medium with quick growth factor release. PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is processed without anticoagulants and retains a fibrin matrix for slower, sustained growth factor release, particularly useful in under-eye and longer-cycle applications.

PDRN is the leading K-Beauty regenerative skin booster, and the formulation Dr. Lanna Cheuck works with and teaches as an educator. Read the canonical PDRN Skin Booster service page for treatment specifics.

How do regenerative therapeutics differ from fillers?

Fillers add volume; regenerative therapeutics rebuild biological substrate. Many patients benefit from both; our team designs combination protocols that pair dermal fillers with PRP or PDRN for layered results.

How many sessions are needed?

Most regenerative protocols use a series, typically 3 sessions over 3 months, with maintenance schedules personalized to your goals.

Used in the post-procedure topical applications and protocol-integrated formats our team employs, exosomes have a strong safety profile. Dr. Lanna evaluates emerging evidence carefully and uses exosome therapy where the science supports it.

REGENERATIVE THERAPEUTICS

Regenerative Therapeutics in NYC

Harness your body's own biology (platelets, growth factors, polynucleotides, exosomes) to regenerate skin, restore tissue quality, and stimulate long-term collagen architecture at Dr. Lanna Aesthetics in Midtown Manhattan. Regenerative therapeutics is the umbrella for the modalities that translate cellular biology into measurable aesthetic and wellness outcomes, namely PRP, PRF, PDGF, PDRN, and exosome therapy. Dr. Lanna Cheuck, a PDRN educator who works with multiple K-Beauty companies, both product and device, has positioned LC Medical PLLC as one of NYC's most fluent regenerative aesthetics practices.

WHAT THIS CATEGORY ADDRESSES

What Regenerative Therapeutics Address at Dr. Lanna Aesthetics

Regenerative therapeutics is the family of treatments that use a patient's own biology, or biologically derived signaling molecules, to stimulate tissue repair, collagen production, and skin architecture renewal. Where traditional aesthetic treatments add volume or relax muscle, regenerative therapeutics rebuild the underlying biological substrate. At LC Medical PLLC, our regenerative menu spans autologous (your-own-blood) platelet-based therapies and biologically derived signaling molecules. Dr. Lanna Cheuck's K-Beauty PDRN expertise positions our Midtown, NY office as a deep K-Beauty regenerative resource, and our PRP and PRF protocols translate the same biological logic into platelet-based applications. Patients combining regenerative work with K-Beauty treatments or Health & Wellness protocols build comprehensive plans that move beyond single-treatment thinking. Platelet-Rich Plasma is autologous (your-own-blood) therapy: a small blood draw is centrifuged to concentrate platelets, then injected or microneedled into target tissues. Concentrated platelets release growth factors that stimulate fibroblasts and improve skin texture, tone, and density. At LC Medical PLLC, PRP is used for facial rejuvenation, scalp applications, and as a companion to other regenerative protocols. PRP often pairs with our Skin Tightening & Remodeling protocols (Morpheus8 with PRP is a popular combination). Platelet-Rich Fibrin is the next generation of platelet therapy, processed without anticoagulants to retain a fibrin scaffold along with platelets and white blood cells. The fibrin matrix releases growth factors more slowly and sustains regenerative signaling longer than traditional PRP. PRF is particularly useful for under-eye regeneration, where its slower release supports tissue volume and color quality over weeks rather than days. Dr. Lanna's master injectors place PRF with the same anatomical precision as our dermal filler protocols. PDGF refers to specific growth-factor preparations that focus on the most active regenerative signaling proteins from platelet concentrates. Used as a topical or microinjected adjunct to other procedures (microneedling, laser, surgical), PDGF accelerates healing and amplifies collagen-stimulating outcomes. PDRN, polydeoxyribonucleotide, is a nucleotide-fragment therapy that signals fibroblast activity, collagen synthesis, and tissue repair. It is a cornerstone of Korean K-Beauty regenerative care, and Dr. Lanna Cheuck works with multiple K-Beauty companies, both product and device, as an educator and clinical voice. PDRN bridges our K-Beauty category and our regenerative program, and the canonical PDRN service page lives under K-Beauty as the PDRN Skin Booster. PDRN is the regenerative skin-density tool that K-Beauty patients return for. Exosomes are nano-sized vesicles released by cells, typically mesenchymal stem cells in clinical preparations, carrying growth factors, peptides, and signaling RNA. Used topically post-procedure or in protocol-specific applications, exosomes amplify regenerative signaling beyond what platelet therapies alone can achieve. Exosome therapy is one of the newest tools in regenerative aesthetics, and our team approaches it with the evidence-based caution Dr. Lanna brings to every emerging modality.
