What Is PRF?

PRF harnesses the most potent regenerative elements of your own blood through a simple injection. This treatment is excellent for various areas of the face for anti-aging and skin rejuvenation and the scalp for hair loss/thinning. PRF is also well-known as PRP but PRF is believed to be more powerful due to its unique composition.

PRF - Injectable platelet-rich fibrin uses the a person's own blood plasma, which contains the following:

Platelets – store growth factors

Fibrin – organises tissue for healing and keeps growth factors concentrated in the area

Stem cells powerful cells that trigger healing and rejuvenation processes

Treatment Areas & Benefits:

PRF is collected and isolated from whole blood taken and injected back into the skin with very fine needles to stimulate healing and regeneration. 

  • Overall skin rejuvenation
  • Age prevention 
  • Under eye 
  • Hair loss/thinning 

The high concentration of healing factors leads to significant improvements in skin texture through a natural process, which is simply accelerated and amplified.

PRF enhances the functioning and reproduction of cells, with cumulative and long-lasting effects and is 100% natural. The results are the production of new fibroblasts, collagen, and elastin. You’ll notice improved skin elasticity and complexion, reduced fine lines, and better hydration. Even pigmentation and rosacea may decrease.

PRF treatment is typically administered in a series of 3 or 4 sessions at 4 week intervals. After your initial set of treatments, you may wish to top up with a session once or twice a year to maintain the results.

What to expect during your appointment:

First we will then take a sample of blood and then this is then spun in a centrifuge. We take your enriched PRF from the top of the vial the blood was collected in and use a small needle to inject into the scalp. We also use a microneedling pen to create micro channels so that we can distribute even more PRF to obtain maximum results. The procedure takes approximately 1 hour. Downtime is minimal, after the treatment you can expect a little inflammation and redness for 24 – 72 hours, on the odd occasion bruising can occur.
