Microneedling with the Candela Exceed™ System
We use the FDA-cleared Candela Exceed™, the first dual-indicated microneedling device approved for both facial
wrinkles and acne scars. This advanced system creates controlled micro-injuries to the skin, triggering your body’s
collagen and elastin production for smoother, younger-looking skin.

78% saw an improvement in eye-area wrinkles in just 90 days
80% reported significant acne scar reduction
A full protocol typically includes 4 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart, with visible improvements continuing for 12+ weeks.
What Is PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)?
PRP is derived from a sample of your own blood and contains high concentrations of growth factors and cytokines that stimulate tissue regeneration and collagen production. When used with microneedling or injected directly into the skin, PRP helps improve: - Skin tone and texture - Fine lines and wrinkles - Acne scars - Overall skin vitality
PRP can also be injected around the eyes, cheeks, mouth, neck, jawline, and décolleté to target thinning skin and
promote natural rejuvenation.
What Is PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)?
PRF is the next generation of platelet therapy. Unlike PRP, PRF contains no anticoagulants or additives and forms
a fibrin matrix, providing a slower, sustained release of growth factors. This means: - Gradual, long-lasting results -
Gentle tissue volumizing effect - Enhanced collagen stimulation.
Ideal for: - Under-eye hollows - Nasolabial folds - Patients desiring more natural volume without synthetic fillers
What Is Bio Filler?
Bio Filler is created by heating and cooling PRP or PRF to form a gel-like substance that mimics dermal fillers.
The gel creates instant volume while delivering long-term regenerative effects from stabilized growth factors.
Bio Filler Benefits: - Instant volume restoration - Long-lasting collagen stimulation - Improves skin elasticity and
firmness - Natural alternative to hyaluronic acid fillers. Bio Filler is especially effective for: - Under-eye rejuvenation - Lip smoothing and volume - Nasolabial folds - Jawline contouring.
Treatment Options at Anacortes Health & Aesthetics:
PRP/PRF Hair Restoration Injections: Stimulate hair growth and improve scalp health using your body’s own regenerative power.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is PRF different from PRP?
PRF is thicker and additive-free, with a slower release of growth factors. It offers
longer-lasting, natural rejuvenation. PRP is better for quicker, more liquid applications like microneedling.
What is the difference between PRP/PRF and Bio Filler?
PRP/PRF Bio Filler is created by processing the
plasma into a gel. It adds volume like a dermal filler and continues releasing growth factors for weeks to months. Regular PRP/PRF is more liquid and spreads faster.
How many treatments will I need?
For optimal results, we recommend a series of 3-4 treatments spaced about one month apart. Results improve progressively.
Is it safe?
Yes! These are autologous treatments using your own blood, which minimizes the risk of allergic reaction or complications.
When will I see results?
Initial improvements may be visible within days, with continued collagen remodeling and improved skin quality for 3–6 months or more.
