PRF stands for Platelet-Rich Fibrin, a natural substance derived from your own blood. Similar to PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), PRF is the next generation of regenerative therapy – but even more advanced.
During the treatment, a small amount of your blood is drawn and spun in a special centrifuge at a slower speed than PRP. This process preserves more of the platelets, white blood cells, and stem cells, creating a fibrin matrix that releases growth factors gradually over time.
The result? Longer-lasting rejuvenation and improved tissue healing that looks and feels completely natural – because it is.
PRF works by stimulating your body’s natural repair process. Once injected into targeted areas, the fibrin matrix slowly releases powerful growth factors that encourage collagen production, cell regeneration, and tissue repair.
These growth factors are the same ones your body uses to heal injuries or renew skin – only now, they’re focused on areas where you want rejuvenation.
PRF can be used in several ways, including:
Because PRF comes directly from your own body, there’s no risk of allergic reaction or rejection – making it a safe and effective choice for nearly all patients.
Both PRF and PRP use your blood’s natural components to stimulate rejuvenation, but PRF has distinct advantages. While PRP relies on a faster spin that separates platelets quickly, PRF uses a gentler process that retains more healing cells.
This allows PRF to release growth factors slowly over 10 to 12 days, compared to PRP’s shorter 24 hour release period.
The slower release means more consistent and longer-lasting results, particularly for delicate areas like the eyes or scalp. In short, PRF is an evolution of PRP – designed for patients seeking a natural yet powerful anti-aging solution.

At your appointment, a small sample of blood is drawn – usually from your arm – and processed in a sterile centrifuge. Once the PRF is prepared, it’s injected into targeted areas using fine needles or microneedling techniques, depending on your treatment plan.
Most patients describe the experience as quick and comfortable, with minimal downtime. Mild redness, swelling, or tenderness may occur, but these side effects typically subside within a day or two.
Results begin to appear gradually as collagen production increases and the skin rejuvenates naturally.
For optimal results, a series of treatments – typically spaced four to six weeks apart – is often recommended.
