Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a second-generation version of PRP therapy. PRF has a higher concentration of platelets, fibrin, and white blood cells. In addition, PRF has a small percentage of stem cells, which cannot be found in traditional PRP therapy. The Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) technique uses the latest generation of Smart Blood Concentrates to generate a complex Fibrin Matrix rich in Platelets, Leukocytes and Mesenchymal stem-cells. For 10-12 days the constant release of Growth Factors accelerates tissue healing and the skin's regeneration process promoting collagen production.

PRF is 100% natural with zero additives. Platelet-Rich Fibrin is a component of your own blood. Blood contains platelets, which contain growth factors that help stimulate soft tissue healing.

A numbing cream may be applied to the area of treatment. *(depending on need and area being treated)

Approximately 2-4 vials of blood will be drawn from your arm.
The tubes of blood are then centrifuged to separate the PRF component cells.

The liquid is then transferred into a syringe and applied topically or injected using a fine needle.

PRF is effective with as little as 1-4 treatments, in most cases, though no guarantees can be made regarding specific benefit from this procedure. Additionally, the nature of any cosmetic procedure may require a patient to return for numerous visits to achieve the desired results and/or to determine whether PRF is effective in treating your concerns.

As long as the suggested treatment plan is maintained with proper skin care products as recommended by your treatment provider, results can last upwards of 4-6 months with as little as 1 treatment. We recommend averaging two to three (2-3) treatments per year to sustain desired results for regular maintenance and rejuvenation.

All skin types (Fitzpatrick 1-6) are safe to treat!

The PRF procedure requires no preconditioning of the skin prior to treatment. However, it is best to come in as hydrated as possible, with minimal caffeine and aspirin use, but it is not a contraindication.

The patient may feel a slight stinging or tingling sensation which will subside after 45-90 seconds. Numbing is generally applied if done with micro needling, but not required for standard PRF injection. A fan or cool breeze may be used for the comfort of the patient.

The PRF treatment can typically be done in approximately 45-60 minutes. Once the first procedure is completed, future applications will become more streamlines. The actual PRF application only takes 15 minutes to administer.

Normal activities may be resumed immediately post treatment. We only recommend avoiding heavy exercise and flying immediately post procedure.

If the PRF treatment is done in conjunction with micro-needling, makeup should not be worn for at least 24 hours. Otherwise, just like any other injectable procedure, makeup can be applied gently to the treated areas, and bruising may or may not be present.

The face, neck, chest and hands are the most commonly applied areas. Once you've met with a medical provider, we can create a personalized treatment plan.

The PRF technique was designed to help improve various problematic skin conditions. By rebuilding collagen and stimulating new cell regeneration, we can minimize the damage and scarring from acne. A series of micro-needling and PRF injections will be will be necessary and can be customized to each patient.

The PRF when done in conjunction with other treatments, will help minimize fine lines and wrinkles, reduce enlarged pores, help build collagen and elastin which will help to tighten and firm the skin. In addition, i Acne Scars, and even regular scars, can be dramatically improved.

Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants and Registered Nurses.

Sun exposure should be limited for at least 24-48 if done with micro-needling.

Patients with a history of cancer, or have received chemotherapy are not eligible for treatment. Please see our medical treatment provider for alternative options.
