PRF
PRF
PLATELET RICH FIBRIN
PRF is a revolutionary advancement from traditional PRP, it contains a much higher concentration of growth factors, (10x the amount!), leukocytes and mesechymal stem cells. The rich concentration of these properties are powerful for healing, treating the signs of aging, improving skin quality, dark under eye circles and fine lines. PRF contains a fibrin matrix which acts as a scaffold and is effective in treating under eye hollowing and deeper wrinkles. It is recommended to do 3-4 treatments of PRF 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results. This treatment has minimal downtime, is safe and 100% natural.

PRF VS PRP
PRF has 10x the growth factors compared to traditional PRP
PRF is spun at a lower speed and for a shorter time than PRP. While PRP separates red blood cells and platelets, leaving only a third of the plasma rich in growth factors PRF achieves nearly 100% platelet recovery. This makes PRF richer in growth factors, which is vital for cell regeneration and healing.
Release of growth factors over a longer period compared to PRP
PRF releases growth factors steadily over a period of up to 10 days whereas PRP releases growth factors over a 24 hour period. This rapid release of growth factors has early healing benefits without long term improvement. PRF has an overall higher release of growth factors due to the slow and steady release
Why are growth factors so important?
Growth factors play a key roll in cell turnover, strengthening the skins barrier, stimulating collagen, improving hydration and skin quality
100% Natural
Many promote PRP as entirely natural since it is derived from your own blood; however, the tubes contain anticoagulants to prevent clotting, making it less natural than we are led to believe. In contrast, PRF tubes have no additives or anticoagulants, making them fully autologous, which ensures they are 100% natural and carry a lower risk of adverse reactions.
The centrifuge matters
You may ask your provider to change the settings on the centrifuge to produce PRF- this is not possible. The centrifuge is vital when it comes to PRF and I recommend only going to a provider that has a centrifuge specifically made and studied for PRF.
If the centrifuge is not backed by literature, no one has tested the actual concentration of growth factors, platelets and cells in the fibrin, therefore you may not see any results.
What to expect at your PRF appointment
We will do a blood draw and then spin the tube with the blood in the centrifuge. After the spin cycle is completed, we will extract the highly concentrated PRF from the tube and inject it in the area of concern
Expect to have swelling if treating the under eyes for 2-3 days. You could also experience a small pinpoint bruise at injection site.
Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours, extreme temperatures, avoid touching or rubbing the area.
We Recommend 3-4 treatments, 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results.
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions,
What is PRF in aesthetics?
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is a treatment made from your own blood that contains high levels of platelets, white blood cells, and growth factors. It is used to stimulate collagen, repair tissue, and improve skin quality naturally.
How is PRF different from PRP?
PRF is spun at a lower speed than PRP, which allows nearly 100% platelet recovery. It also releases growth factors slowly for up to 10 days, while PRP releases them in just 24 hours.
What does PRF treat?
PRF can improve under-eye hollows, fine lines, acne scars, overall skin texture, and even support hair restoration by stimulating new growth.
How long do PRF results last?
Results from PRF treatments can last 6–12 months. A series of sessions is often recommended to build collagen and maintain improvements.
When will I see results from PRF?
Most clients notice improvement within a few weeks, with full benefits building over several months as collagen increases.
