Platelet Rich Fibrin

Platelet Rich Fibrin

PRF (platelet rich fibrin) is a cutting edge cosmetic injectable treatment for naturally rejuvenating the skin & repairing the signs of aging.  PRF is the next generation of PRP (platelet rich plasma) & contains about 10 times more platelet concentration than normal blood, therefore having great healing & regenerative properties.  Platelets, leukocytes, mesenchymal stem cells & growth factors in PRF stimulate collagen & elastin production resulting in tighter, smoother skin. Because it boosts collagen, PRF is a great treatment for improving skin texture & tone (especially for people with acne & rosacea).  PRF is very effective for difficult-to-treat areas such as the under eye area.  It can also be used to reverse hair loss, reduce the appearance of stretch marks, enhance breast volume, improve lip color & hydration as well as overall facial rejuvenation.

The advantages of this treatment include:  

  • 100% autologous material without additives such as anticoagulants or bovine thrombin gel 
  • Absence of blood manipulation results in a more significant number of live cells
  • Growth factors are released for several days (not hours) after treatment 
  • PRF contains more healing factors & stems cells (compared to PRP) &, when injected, results in less trauma to the tissues

PRF Facial Rejuvenation

Use the regenerative powers of your own blood to boost elastin & collagen production.  While microneedling with PRF is one of the best treatments for tone & texture of the skin, PRF injections reach deeper layers when injected in targeted areas. Unlike dermal fillers, this treatment is 100% natural.

Platelet Rich Fibrin can be used for overall face & neck rejuvenation.

Results from Platelet Rich Fibrin & PlasmaSculpt take about 4-6 weeks to appear. 

Results typically last for 12-18 months after the initial series of 2-3 treatments spaced at least 4 weeks apart. PlasmaSculpt results last for 2-5 years. 
PRF face rejuvenation is done with a blunt thin tube (cannula) to minimize potential side effects.  If side effects occur, they may include mild tenderness, bruising, & swelling.  It is best to plan 2 weeks ahead of any important events.  

7 Days Before Your Treatment:

  • Avoid chemical peels, waxing, electrolysis, laser treatments, or threading
  • Discontinue blood thinning agents such as vitamin E, vitamin A, Ginkgo, garlic, flax, cod liver oil, essential fatty acids, and multivitamins, a minimum of 14 days prior to treatment. You may continue iron and vitamin D.
  • If you're taking any blood thinners, please discuss with your provider, as they may represent a contraindication to this treatment. These medications include Plavix and Coumadin and Heparin.
  • Avoid aspirin, Advil, Motrin, Ibuprofen, Naproxen, Voltaren and other anti-inflammatory medications if approved by your primary care provider. We want inflammation to occur – as this is one mechanism by which PRF works. You may use Tylenol (acetaminophen) as needed prior to the treatment.
  • Prescription medications should be taken as prescribed right up to, and including, the day of your treatment.
  • Avoid excessive sun or heat exposure.

3 Days Before Your Treatment:

  • Avoid topical products such as Tretinoin (Retin-A), Retinols, Retinoids, Glycolic Acid, Alpha Hydroxy Acid, Salicylic Acid, or other “anti-aging”, “acne”, and “bleaching” products.
  • Avoid alcohol.
  • Avoid waxing, bleaching, tweezing, or the use of hair removal cream on the treated area.
  • Avoid excessive sun exposure and wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily of SPF 40 or higher.

Immediately Following Treatment:

  • You may expect mild discomfort, redness, swelling and/or irritation after treatment.
  • You may have a bruise at the blood draw site.
  • Pain should be minimal and you may take Tylenol as needed. Ice can be applied to reduce swelling if necessary.
  • Do not take any anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen, Motrin or Advil. These agents will interfere with the natural inflammatory process that is critical and responsible for PRF rejuvenation qualities.
  • Avoid exercise, sun and heat exposure for at least 24 hours following your treatment.
  • Make sure you only use clean linens and towels during the healing process.
  • During the healing phase, disinfect your cell phone or landline phone with alcohol wipes before use. Avoid your treated skin's contact with the phone by choosing a hands-free option.

  • Avoid warm environments (i.e., hot tubs, jacuzzis, steam rooms, hot yoga, saunas, etc.) for 3 days post treatment.
  • By day 2 or 3, your skin may feel a bit dry. This is normal and will resolve on its own.
  • You may return to your skincare products and makeup when your skin is not irritated, typically 4 - 5 days after treatment.
  • You'll begin to see improvements in the overall texture and tone shortly after your treatment, but the optimum improvement takes up to 3 months.
  • New collagen formation takes 4-6 weeks to develop. Please be patient.
