Plasma Rich Fibrin (PRF)
The Next Generation Plasma Treatment
What is PRF?
Platelet-Rich Fibrin or PRF is a technology that uses your own body’s natural and powerful healing proteins and concentrated growth factors to rejuvenate skin, treat hair loss, and restore volume. With a simple blood draw, a high concentration of natural growth factors can be collected and used as a natural anti-aging alternative.
All Natural.
PRF uses the latest technologies to maximize natural growth factors without the need for the additives or anti-coagulants found in PRP.
More Platelets.
PRF has 2X the platelets than PRP and up to 10 times more platelets than the body. The higher concentration of platelets the more effective for skin rejuvenation.
Slower Release.
A fibrin scaffolding forms with the plasma allowing for more Growth Factors, kept alive for a longer and released slowly over a much longer period of time.
WHAT CAN PRF DO FOR YOU?
- Brightens and plumps skin under the eyes
- Reduces appearance of wrinkles
- Smooths skin texture and evens skin tone
- Firms and tightens skin
- Reduces acne scars and dark spots
- Restores volume in the cheeks
- Creates a more defined jawline
- Thickens and restores hair
What Does PRF Treat?
Volume Loss
- All natural with no additives
- Does not attract water
- Can be injected into multiple layers of the face
- Safer for those with autoimmune disorders
- Rejuvenates naturally as opposed to the fill and plump
Skin Rejuvenation
PRF is an amazing natural additive to microneedling treatments to reduce pore size, eliminate fine lines and treat sun damage. Microneedling produces fine channels in the skin that initiate the body to heal and restore. PRF is added before and after microneedling to facilitate your skin’s response. It can be applied topically to the entire treatment area during the treatment or injected. PRF plus microneedling is gentle enough for all skin types.
- Creates youthful skin that glows.
- Works with fillers and toxins.
- Improves the overall texture and tone of the skin.
- Minimizes hyperpigmentation and dark spots.
- Increases collagen production and promotes cell turnover.
- Reduces the appearance of pores, fine lines and sun damage.
Hair Restoration
Hair thinning is a normal part of aging and affects both men and women. However in some, hair loss could occur due to genetics, alopecia areata, and even severe stress. Platelet-Rich-Fibrin (PRF) hair restoration is a new, non-surgical treatment that uses cell growth factors to regenerate and restore the inactive hair follicle through wound-healing technology.
Before the procedure, the patient’s scalp is numbed with a topical anesthetic cream to make the treatment virtually painless. Once the serum is isolated, it is strategically injected into the scalp where hair loss or hair thinning has occurred. When the procedure is over, the patient can resume their normal daily activities. The hair follicles treated with PRF will immediately be reinvigorated and begin to grow new hair. The hair will strengthen and become thicker as time goes on. Hair growth is a slower process, and results can be seen within three to six months.

Frequently Asked Question
Frequently Asked Questions
Platelet-Rich Plasma is a result of double spin method — a hard spin to separate red blood cells from everything else in the autologous (or whole) blood and a soft spin to separate the platelets and white blood cells. The result is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), Platelet-Poor Plasma (PPP) and Red Blood Cells.
PRF is a newer method that we often use here and suggest. Sort of the PRP 2.0, if you will. In PRF, after the first centrifugation, the middle layer is taken—which contains less platelets but more clotting factors. This gradually forms into a fibrin network and traps in the cytokines. It is then centrifuged in a PRF centrifuge resulting in PRF, a fibrin layer containing platelets and plasma.
The biggest and best difference the clients are seeing with the PRF is that there is much less swelling and downtime for the patient.
A growth factor is a naturally occurring substance capable of stimulating cellular growth, proliferation, and cellular repair. Our bodies produce natural growth factors. They are found in high concentrations in our own fat and our own blood. Growth factors in our fat and Platelet Rich Fibrin can help prevent and improve our aging skin and underlying tissue. We are able to separate growth factors by separating our red blood cells from our platelet rich plasma.
New studies suggest Platelet-Rich Plasma and its gelled cousin Platelet-Rich Fibrin differ in the release of growth factors which can significantly affect the healing outcome.
PRF results have displayed a continual and steady release of growth factors over a 10-day period. Some argue that PRP enriched with a large number of growth factors (a portion of it may even be excess) produce short-term effects and is less desirable than a PRF whose release is slower and thus more beneficial in the long run.
PRF is created within a small sample of blood withdrawn from you at the time of your appointment. Once the sample has been taken, it is inserted and spun in a centrifuge. Blood plasma, white and red blood cells, and other growth properties bond as the sample spins, creating the PRP formula. The PRP solution is purified and the platelets are preserved, creating PRF.
