PLATELET-RICH FIBRIN
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) for Facial Rejuvenation
What is Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)?
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a type of autologous blood therapy derived from a patient’s own blood. It is a concentrated form of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) that contains a high concentration of growth factors and cytokines. These natural substances help promote tissue repair and regeneration, making PRF an ideal treatment for those seeking a natural, regenerative approach to fresher, firmer, and more radiant-looking skin.
Key Components:
-
Platelets: Release growth factors such as PDGF, VEGF, TGF-β, EGF, and IGF-1.
-
Leukocytes (WBCs): Contribute to immune modulation and tissue remodeling.
-
Fibrin Matrix: Provides a 3D structure for slow release of bioactive molecules.
Benefits of PRF Injections for Facial Rejuvenation
1. Non-surgical: PRF is a non-surgical treatment designed to support facial rejuvenation without incisions or general anaesthesia, making it a gentler option for those seeking a natural refresh.
2. Minimal downtime: PRF treatments typically involve little downtime, allowing most patients to return to their usual routine soon after their appointment.
3. Natural-looking rejuvenation: Because PRF uses your body’s own healing factors, it works in harmony with your skin to support gradual, natural-looking results.
4. Well tolerated: PRF is created from the patient’s own blood, making it a natural treatment option with a low risk of allergic reaction.
5. Collagen support: PRF helps encourage collagen and elastin production, which can improve skin firmness and overall skin quality over time.
6. Brighter, smoother skin: PRF can help support improvements in skin texture, tone, hydration, and radiance for a fresher-looking complexion.
7. Softens fine lines and under-eye hollows: PRF may help reduce visible signs of ageing, including fine lines, wrinkles, and tired-looking under-eye areas.
What to expect from PRF injections
An initial course of 2–3 PRF treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, is usually recommended for optimal results. Maintenance treatments every 6–12 months can help preserve a fresh, radiant appearance..
During the procedure, a small amount of blood is drawn from the patient's arm and processed using a centrifuge to create the PRF. The PRF is then extracted and injected into the treatment areas. The injections are administered using a fine needle, which minimises discomfort.
Patients may experience some mild discomfort, swelling, or redness at the injection site, but these symptoms usually subside within a few days. Patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure.
Aftercare
After your treatment, avoid makeup and touching the face for 12–24 hours. We also recommend avoiding exercise, alcohol, saunas, and excessive heat for the first 24 hours.
Use gentle skincare products and wear SPF daily to protect the skin and support recovery. Some mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur, but this is temporary and should resolve naturally.
