Platelet-Rich Fibrin ‘PRF’

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) Treatment

*All medical procedures carry risks. Treatment suitability, risks and expected outcomes will be discussed during consultation with a qualified health practitioner.

Platelet Rich Fibrin Treatment ‘PRF’ is a autologous treatment derived from your own blood that harnesses the power of your blood cells to may support collagen production and skin healing. Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) treatments for clients seeking non-surgical cosmetic options!

What is PRF?

PRF, or Platelet-rich Fibrin, is an platelet concentrate treatment. It uses components derived from white blood cells, growth factors, and fibrin to rejuvenate your skin, may be used in procedures that aim to support hair density or tissue healing. As a natural concentrate from your blood, it typically works in harmony with your body’s mechanisms.

How is PRF obtained?

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is prepared from a small sample of your own blood. The process involves placing the sample into a centrifuge to separate specific components, without the use of anticoagulants. This allows a fibrin matrix to form, containing platelets and other naturally occurring substances found in your blood.

PRF may be applied using a variety of methods depending on your treatment plan, which may include:

  • Skin needling techniques
  • Topical application
  • Direct administration by a qualified health practitioner

 

Important: Before any procedure or treatment, a consultation should be done to determine the most suitable method based on your individual needs and clinical assessment. This will also include talking about your medical history.

How Does Platelet-Rich Fibrin Treatment Work?

PRF treatment is based on the concept of using your body’s own blood components to may assist in supporting tissue repair processes. After blood is drawn and processed in a centrifuge, the resulting PRF contains a concentration of platelets, growth factors, and fibrin. These components may be applied to the skin to support healing, may assist in improving the appearance of skin texture, or complement other cosmetic procedures.

Because no anticoagulants or additives are used in the preparation of PRF, the process is entirely autologous (derived from your own body), with no synthetic ingredients.

What steps are involved in PRF Treatment?

Step 1: Blood Collection

A qualified practitioner collects a small amount of your blood using a sterile technique.

Step 2: Centrifugation

The collected blood is placed in a centrifuge, which separates the components based on density. This process takes approximately five minutes.

Step 3: Application

The separated PRF is prepared for application using a technique suitable to the treatment area and your goals. This may include skin needling, injections, or other methods performed under clinical supervision.

What is the difference between PRP and PRF?

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) are both autologous treatments used in aesthetic and regenerative medicine. While both utilise components from your own blood, there are differences in how they are prepared and the type of components retained:

  • PRF is prepared without anticoagulants, allowing a fibrin matrix to form naturally.
  • PRF may contain a higher concentration of leukocytes and growth factors compared to some PRP preparations.
  • PRF is released more slowly over time due to its structure, potentially offering prolonged exposure of growth factors.

 

The choice between PRF and PRP should be based on your treatment goals and the clinical judgment of your practitioner.

What areas can be treated with PRF?

  • Scalp – may assist in improving the appearance of hair thinning
  • Eyes – may assist in improving the appearance of volume loss or skin texture
  • Acne – may assist in improving the appearance of acne scarring
  • Face – may assist in improving the appearance of fine lines and skin texture
  • Neck – may assist in improving the appearance of skin laxity
  • Jawline – may assist in improving the appearance of skin texture
  • Hands – may assist in improving the appearance of skin quality
  • Décolletage – may assist in improving the appearance of skin texture

Why Should You Consider a Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) Treatment?

PRF benefits those seeking a holistic approach to skin and hair rejuvenation. PRF treatment may assist in improving the appearance of skin texture and may support collagen production. By aiding in collagen production, PRF can help improve the skin’s firmness and texture. 

Who May Be Suitable for PRF Treatment?

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) may be considered for individuals seeking a non-surgical treatment that uses components derived from their own blood. It is commonly used in skin and scalp procedures, where it may assist in supporting tissue repair, enhancing skin texture, or complementing other aesthetic treatments.

Suitability for PRF treatment is still to be determined through a clinical consultation, during which your medical history, treatment goals, and individual health factors will be assessed by our qualified practitioner. While it is a non-invasive treatment, not everyone is appropriate for it.

How Long Do PRF Results Last?

PRF treatments typically involve multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart. A commonly recommended treatment plan includes three sessions spaced six to eight weeks apart, with maintenance treatments considered every six to twelve months.

As PRF is an autologous treatment (uses your own blood components), results may vary depending on factors such as age, skin condition, and individual biology. Some individuals report noticeable changes in skin texture and tone after several weeks, with continued improvement over time.

*Outcomes vary between individuals and are not guaranteed.

Does PRF Have Any Risks or Side Effects?

As with any medical or cosmetic procedure, PRF treatments also carry potential risks and side effects. These may include:

  • Redness or swelling at the injection site
  • Bruising or tenderness
  • Temporary soreness or discomfort


Side effects may occur and vary between individuals and subside within a few days. Your practitioner will advise on appropriate aftercare and precautions, including avoiding harsh skincare or hair products for at least 72 hours following scalp treatments.

All risks and post-procedure expectations will be discussed during your consultation.
