At Accent Aesthetics, we’re proud to offer Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF), a cutting-edge, all-natural treatment that uses your body’s own regenerative properties to reverse visible signs of aging and promote healthier skin. PRF is the next generation of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), offering enhanced healing, collagen production, and skin rejuvenation benefits with longer-lasting results.
Whether you’re looking to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, or enhance other aesthetic treatments, PRF offers a natural, safe, and effective solution.
PLATELET RICH FIBRIN (PRF)?
PRF stands for Platelet Rich Fibrin, a powerful skin rejuvenation treatment that harnesses the healing properties of your own blood. It’s the second generation of PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) but offers enhanced benefits due to a richer concentration of growth factors, leukocytes, and stem cells. PRF works by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production, helping to restore youthful skin texture, volume, and elasticity.
Unlike PRP, which uses a faster spin process that can strip away some regenerative properties, PRF is processed using a slower centrifugation technique. This method retains a higher concentration of healing components and fibrin matrix, allowing for extended release of growth factors and prolonged skin benefits.
How PRF Works
PRF works by isolating the most beneficial components of your blood and reintroducing them into targeted areas of the skin for natural rejuvenation. Here’s how the process works:
- Blood Draw: A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm, similar to a routine blood test.
- Centrifugation: The blood is spun at a low speed to separate its components. This method preserves the plasma, platelets, leukocytes, and fibrin – the essential healing elements.
- PRF Extraction: The PRF (platelet-rich layer) is carefully collected from the tube and prepared for use.
- Application: PRF can be applied in multiple ways depending on your treatment plan, including microneedling, injections, or subdermal cannula techniques.
PRF stimulates collagen regeneration, promotes tissue repair, and enhances skin texture for a glowing, youthful complexion.
OF PLATELET RICH FIBRIN
All-Natural Skin Rejuvenation
PRF uses your own blood with no synthetic additives, making it an all-natural treatment. It works with your body’s natural healing processes, making it ideal for those seeking chemical-free solutions for skin rejuvenation.
Stimulates Collagen Production
PRF is highly effective in stimulating collagen and elastin production, essential proteins responsible for skin firmness and elasticity. This collagen boost helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while improving overall skin texture.
Long-Lasting Results
Due to its slower release of growth factors, PRF continues to stimulate collagen production for weeks to months after treatment. This results in long-term skin improvements and a gradual reduction in signs of aging.
Treats Multiple Concerns
PRF can effectively address a wide range of skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Skin laxity
- Dark under-eye circles
- Acne scarring
- Dull skin tone
- Hair restoration
Enhances Other Treatments
PRF can be combined with treatments like microneedling, dermal fillers, and Hyperdilute Radiesse (HDR) for enhanced results. It acts as a skin booster, amplifying the benefits of other procedures by accelerating healing and improving skin texture.
Minimally Invasive with Minimal Downtime
PRF treatments involve minimal discomfort and downtime. Most patients can resume normal activities within a day or two, making it a convenient choice for busy lifestyles.
Pre-Treatment Guidelines:
To maximize the quality and effectiveness of your PRF treatment, it’s important to prepare your body by optimizing your nutrient levels and hydration. The results of PRF rely on the quality of the platelets, growth factors, and stem cells present in your blood. To enhance your results, we recommend:
- Turmeric, Vitamin C, Zinc, and Antioxidants: These supplements can boost your body’s natural healing properties.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water 2-3 days before your treatment to ensure a smoother blood draw.
- Avoid Smoking: Smoking can inhibit the regenerative response, so it’s best to avoid it before your treatment.
Our team will provide personalized recommendations during your consultation to help you prepare for your PRF session.
During a PRF Treatment:
Step 1: Numbing & Preparation
Depending on the treatment area, a topical numbing cream or ice may be applied for comfort.
Step 2: Blood Draw & Processing
A small blood draw is performed, and the sample is immediately placed into a centrifuge to isolate the PRF.
Step 3: Application of PRF
PRF can be used in various ways depending on your goals:
- Microneedling: PRF is applied topically while microneedling channels are created for deeper absorption.
- Injections: PRF can be injected directly into areas of volume loss, fine lines, or under-eye concerns.
- Subdermal Cannula: PRF can be injected under the skin using a cannula for a more gradual collagen-boosting effect.
Post-Treatment Care
Microneedling with PRF:
- Redness, mild swelling, and pinpoint bleeding are common for up to a week.
- Avoid direct sun exposure and use SPF 30+ sunscreen.
- Keep the area clean and moisturized using recommended products.
Filler or Cannula-Based PRF:
- Avoid NSAIDs and alcohol for 48 hours to reduce bruising.
- Apply ice as needed for comfort.
- Swelling, lumps, and tenderness may occur and typically resolve within 1-2 weeks.
Our team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions based on the specific technique used during your treatment.
