PRF (platelet rich fibrin) Injections

Service Description

PRF, or platelet-rich fibrin, is a fibrin matrix comprised of platelet cytokines, growth factors and cells used to help promote skin rejuvenation, hair growth and wound healing. It’s a natural aesthetic treatment because it uses the patient’s stem cells and growth factors, reducing the possibility of allergic reactions. PRF may be administered topically, as an injection, or in combination with other aesthetic procedures. A common type of PRF procedure is what we call PRF injections. They are for facial treatment in areas that show the initial signs of aging such as the under-eyes, cheeks, and scalp. Immediately before the treatment, blood will be collected—just like a usual blood test. Then it’s placed in a centrifuge that separates the PRF from the other components of the blood. Once the PRF is introduced back into the body, it helps achieve a more natural way of skin rejuvenation by creating new skin cells, collagen, and blood vessels. The procedure takes approximately 60 minutes. The temporary effect of PRF can be its volumizing benefit, however, long-term effects may include improvement of skin quality and rejuvenation. PRF has shown success in providing skin rejuvenating effects because of its high concentration of fibrin and white blood cells. Aside from having PRF alone, patients may also opt to have it in combination with hyaluronic acid fillers for optimum results. It’s best to consult your provider about which procedure to consider. PRF Injections for Under Eye Treatment The undereye skin and bone, or tear trough, is one of the most common targets for PRF injections. Aside from it being one of the first areas in the face to have visible signs of aging, undereye complaints such as dark circles or discoloration, puffy eyes, and wrinkles are very common. In the clinical studies done, PRF has shown success in skin rejuvenation and improved discoloration of the undereye area after 3 treatments, 4-weeks apart. The provider injects PRF as an undereye filler. As with other aesthetic procedures, results may slightly vary in some patients because of several factors. However, common results of PRF injections for undereye treatment include reduced fine lines, improved pigmentation, and enhanced skin firmness, texture, and volume. PRF injections are an extremely safe type of procedure, but patients can expect swelling and bruising for 3-5 days
