What is PRF Treatment?

PRF, which stands for Platelet-Rich Fibrin, is a treatment that uses your own blood to promote healing and rejuvenation. A small blood draw is processed in a centrifuge to separate platelets and fibrin, rich in growth factors for healing and tissue repair. The serum is used for skin rejuvenation and hair growth restoration.

Is PRF treatment painful?

The procedure is generally well-tolerated. The blood draw causes minimal discomfort. Sensation during injections can vary depending on the site, but most patients report mild discomfort. Care is taken to minimize discomfort.

How does Bio-PRF rejuvenate the skin?

Bio-PRF produces 6-8 times more regenerative cells than whole blood. This results in more growth factors, better infection control, and reduced post-procedure pain using natural methods. It is considered to be more effective than other leading therapies.

The Benefits of PRF Injections

PRF injections help skin recover faster and perform better after procedures while delivering visible rejuvenation on their own. This treatment supports the body's natural renewal cycle for results that continue to improve in the weeks ahead.

Stimulates collagen and elastin for firmer, more resilient skin
Brightens dark circles and softens fine lines under the eyes
Enhances recovery and reduces redness after microneedling, laser, or peel treatments
Smooths texture and evens tone without synthetic fillers or chemicals
Minimizes downtime by calming inflammation and accelerating healing

These effects make PRF a smart choice for under-eye rejuvenation and a powerful add-on to other treatments, elevating results while keeping skin calm and comfortable.

Frequently Asked Questions About PRF Injections

Many of our patients are new to PRF. Below are some common questions we receive about this procedure. If you have any other questions, please share them at your free consultation, and our team will do its best to answer them.

How do PRF injections work?

We draw a small tube of blood and spin it to concentrate platelets and white blood cells in a soft fibrin matrix. Your provider places tiny micro-deposits with a fine needle or cannula into precise planes, such as along the tear trough.

The matrix slowly releases growth factors that signal cells to produce new collagen and elastin, improve microcirculation, and calm inflammation. Early softness and brightness often appear in two to four weeks, with remodeling continuing for several months.

Are PRF injections safe?

Yes. PRF is autologous (meaning all of it comes from your own body) - there are no additives at all. You can expect some mild swelling, tenderness, or small bruises for one to three days, especially in delicate areas, like under the eyes.

To reduce any potential side effects, it's important to hydrate, avoid alcohol the day before, and pause non-essential blood-thinning supplements if advised. Afterward, use brief cool compresses and simple skincare for 24 to 48 hours. For safety, we avoid treatment for individuals with active infections, bleeding disorders, severe anemia, or recent isotretinoin use.

How long do results last?

Longevity varies with age, sun exposure, sleep, and skincare, but most people enjoy results for 6 to 12 months after a 3 to 4-session treatment series. You'll see early changes by weeks 4 to 8, then peak refinement around months 2 to 3.

Maintenance once or twice a year helps sustain collagen gains, and pairing PRF with microneedling, fractional laser, or a peel can extend results as it remodels multiple pathways in the skin.
