PRF is a 100% autologous concentrate containing platelets within a fibrin scaffold, created via a gentle spin protocol without anticoagulants or additives. The prepared material is applied locally to support a healthy skin environment.

Safety & Screening

Suitability is determined during your visit. PRF is not performed over active infection, in uncontrolled bleeding disorders, or during pregnancy at treatment sites. Please share all medications, supplements, and recent procedures.

After consultation, a small blood draw is processed to create PRF. The PRF is applied to targeted areas using sterile technique. Sessions typically last 45–60 minutes. Temporary redness, warmth, or swelling may occur for 24–72 hours.

FAQs

Is PRF the same as PRP?

PRF forms a fibrin scaffold and is prepared without anticoagulants, which may allow a slower, more gradual release compared with PRP.

When will I notice changes?

Timelines vary. Many notice a refreshed look within weeks, with further changes as sessions progress.

Can PRF be combined with other skin services?

Often, yes. Your plan can include pairing strategies and home care aligned with your skin goals.
