Platelet-Rich Fibrin

What is Platelet-Rich Fibrin?

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is the second generation of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and the injections are used to rejuvenate skin. Platelet-rich fibrin is a technology that uses your own body’s natural and powerful healing proteins and concentrated growth factors to rejuvenate skin, treat hair loss, and speed up recovery. With a simple blood draw, a high concentration of natural growth factors in your blood can be collected and used for enhanced facial esthetics.

PRF can treat a wide range of skin issues like:

• Age spots
• Forehead wrinkles
• Tear troughs
• Hair loss
• Crow’s feet and frown lines
• Dark under-eye hollows
• Facial wrinkles
• Thinning lips
• Nasolabial folds
• Smoker’s and marionette lines
• Sagging neck and jowls

Microneedling with PRF

While microneedling is a highly effective treatment on its own, we can make it even more powerful by applying PRF directly afterward. PRF can be added to any microneedling or injectable treatment. Discover the benefits of Microneedling with PRF. 

PRF FAQs

• Is there downtime with PRF?

  Yes. Downtime is about 3 to 5 days, with the possibility of swelling, bruising, redness, and slight soreness to the treated area.

• What is the duration of the results?

  The results of PRF typically last up to 18 months, with annual maintenance treatments advised. You can expect initial results to become visible after your second treatment, as your body begins the process of rebuilding collagen.

• What can I expect from a PRF treatment?

  Here’s what to expect during your PRF Treatment:

  1. Blood Extraction
     First, we will draw a small amount of your blood through a virtually painless procedure.
  2. Blood Centrifugation
     Your blood will be processed in a centrifuge and spun slowly to produce PRF, ensuring that the blood will not separate as much as PRP.
  3. PRF Collection & Injection
     The PRF will be collected from the vial through a syringe and injected into the treatment areas.

• What areas can PRF treat?

  The most common treatment areas for platelet-rich fibrin include:

  • Face
  • Neck
  • Scalp
  • Hands

• Am I a good candidate for PRF?

  A good candidate for PRF injections is someone who has been struggling with skin issues that haven’t responded to more conventional treatments.

  The benefits of PRF include improved collagen production, increased hydration, and reduced inflammation. By boosting collagen production, PRF injections can help to reduce wrinkles and fine lines while also improving skin texture and diminishing the appearance of acne scars. The increased hydration helps to plump skin, reducing the appearance of dryness and providing a more youthful look. Finally, the anti-inflammatory properties can help to reduce redness and irritation associated with conditions such as rosacea or acne to provide a more even skin tone.
