Does PRP/PRF cause or reduce inflammation? Can I have PRF Microneedling 2 weeks after PRF injections?

Asked By:MediKate in New York, New York

I'm reading very conflicting things about PRP/PRF treatments and whether they cause inflammation or reduce it. I had PRF injections to my face almost 2 weeks ago and am about to have microneedling with PRF, but am now worried it might be too soon as there might still be some inflammation. I'm also not sure whether the collagen is broken down by any of these treatments, so if it's better to wait until a full month has passed in order for the collagen to rebuild.
