Skin Boosters / Polynucleotides - Mild redness, swelling, or small bumps may appear for 1–2 days—this is normal as your skin begins healing. Avoid makeup, active skincare, heat, exercise, alcohol, and spicy foods for the first 24–48 hours. Keep skin cool, clean, and hydrated. Results develop gradually over 2–4 weeks, with improvements continuing for up to 8 weeks. Follow your maintenance plan for lasting results, and contact Viva Clinics if you notice unusual swelling, pain, or skin changes.
Collagen Stimulators (Sculptra®, Radiesse®, Juvelook) – Expect gradual, natural improvement over weeks as your own collagen forms. Massage treated areas as advised.

Microneedling & RF Treatments – Skin may feel warm, flushed, or tight for 1–2 days. Keep skin hydrated and protected from sun.
Fat Dissolving, HIFU & RF Lipo – Tenderness, firmness, or slight swelling can occur for a few days as your body metabolises fat.
Skin Treatments (Plasma Lift, Skin Tag/Red Vein Removal)– Small crusts or scabs may form and naturally shed. Avoid picking.

Our clinician will give tailored instructions for your treatment. Following them ensures optimal results and a smooth recovery.

When it comes to facial volume restoration and skin rejuvenation, choosing between PLLA (Poly-L-lactic Acid), CaHA (Calcium Hydroxylapatite), or a combination PDLLA (Poly-D, L-Lactic Acid) of both depends on your specific goals, timeline, and skin needs.
PLLA (Sculptra®): Ideal for those looking for gradual, natural results that last over time. PLLA stimulates collagen production and provides a deep, long-term rejuvenation, making it perfect for full-face rejuvenation and volume restoration.
CaHA (Radiesse®): The go-to option for those wanting immediate volume and noticeable lift. CaHA not only lifts but also stimulates collagen as it gradually breaks down, making it a great choice for enhancing structural features like the jawline and cheeks.
Hybrid PDLLA (Juvelook™): For patients who desire both instant results and long-lasting rejuvenation, this hybrid approach blends the immediate lift of CaHA with the progressive collagen-boosting effects of PLLA, offering the best of both worlds.
Each treatment offers unique benefits, and the right choice for you will depend on your age, facial structure, and desired outcome. The key to selecting the most effective treatment is a personalized consultation with an expert injector who can help create a customized plan tailored to your needs.

Hair grows in a cycle with four phases—each vital to hair health. Hair PRP GFC boosts these phases using your body’s own growth factors for stronger, thicker hair.
🌱 The 4 Hair Growth Phases
1. Anagen (Growth)
Hair grows ~1 cm/month for 2–7 years.
✅ PRP GFC extends this phase and stimulates follicles.2. Catagen (Transition)
Hair stops growing; follicle detaches.
✅ Delays this phase, preserving active growth longer.3. Telogen (Rest)
Hair rests for ~3 months.
✅ Reactivates follicles sooner to re-enter growth.4. Exogen (Shedding)
Old hair falls to make room for new.
✅ Speeds up regrowth and reduces prolonged shedding.💉 How PRP GFC Works
Injected into the scalp, PRP GFC delivers key growth factors like PDGF, VEGF, EGF, IGF-1 to:
Boost blood supply
Reactivate dormant follicles
Prolong growth phase
Reduce hair loss
🕒 What to Expect
0–2 months: Cell activation, minor shedding
3–6 months: Early regrowth
6–12 months: Visible thickening and improved density

Natural, regenerative treatments for skin and hair rejuvenation
Looking for a more natural alternative to dermal fillers or skin rejuvenation? Discover the difference between PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)—two powerful regenerative therapies derived from your own blood. Both are rich in growth factors, but PRF offers a longer-lasting and purer formulation with no additives or anticoagulants.
🧬 What Makes PRF Different from PRP?
Unlike PRP, PRF is spun at a lower speed in special glass tubes without anticoagulants. This gentle process preserves more white blood cells, platelets, and fibrin—resulting in a gel-like consistency known as "Biofiller". PRF acts as a natural volumizer while promoting collagen, healing, and tissue regeneration.
💉 How Is PRF Delivered?
Face: PRF is injected subdermally using a multi-needle gun for even distribution.
Under-eye area: Direct manual injection for targeted dark circles and hollowing.
📅 Recommended Treatment Plan
Initial phase: 3 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart
Maintenance: Every 4–6 months (1–2 times/year)
Note: PRF does not give immediate filler-like volume. Instead, it offers long-term regenerative benefits that improve skin texture, elasticity, and youthful glow over time.
📊 Blood Component Comparison
PRF uses low g-force centrifugation, preserving cell integrity and vitality.
PRP uses high g-force, which may damage some regenerative cells.![Insert optional comparison chart here – image showing PRP vs PRF blood separation]
✨ Why Clients Love PRF
100% natural with no additives
Safe and biocompatible
Long-lasting collagen stimulation
Ideal for clients who want natural, gradual anti-aging

Welcome to our facial rejuvenation treatments, where we offer two exceptional options for restoring youthful volume and enhancing your natural beauty: EZ PRF Gel and HA Dermal Fillers. Both treatments deliver remarkable results, but they work in distinct ways and are tailored to different patient needs. Here’s a quick guide to help you determine which option might be the best fit for you.
Which is Right for You?
EZ PRF Gel: If you’re looking for a natural, regenerative approach to rejuvenation, EZ PRF Gel is the perfect choice. It harnesses your body’s own platelets to stimulate collagen production and improve skin quality gradually. Ideal for treating delicate areas like tear troughs and fine lines, it’s the perfect solution for those who want to enhance their skin without any chemicals.
HA Dermal Fillers: For instant, noticeable volume, HA Dermal Fillers are your go-to option. Whether it’s plumping the cheeks, enhancing the lips, or smoothing out nasolabial folds, these fillers offer quick and dramatic results. Plus, they are reversible, giving you flexibility if you want to adjust your results later.
In some cases, a combination of both EZ PRF Gel and HA Dermal Fillers may be the best solution for optimizing both immediate volume and long-term skin regeneration.
