What is PRF Bio-Filler? 

PRF is an advanced form of PRP (platelet-rich plasma). It stands for platelet-rich fibrin and, like PRP, is rich in platelets, stem cells, white blood cells, and fibrin. PRF’s fibrin scaffold is not found in PRP – this scaffold gives it the benefit of slower, more potent release (around 7-10 days) so you can enjoy the benefits for much longer than traditional PRP.

PRF can be used for many of the same functions as PRP. Like PRP, it comes with no additives or chemicals and is a 100% natural way to rejuvenate the skin and body. PRF can be used as an injectable or combined with microneedling.

PRF Gel (Biologic Filler)

PRF Gel is an all-natural substance similar to PRP but for a different purpose. Just like PRP, it is created using your own blood sample but processed using a cooling and heating technique creating the gel-like substance.  PRF Gel is used in a similar fashion as dermal fillers, and is considered a bio-filler.  It is injected to create volume and help with collagen production and skin tone & texture.  

PRF Gel (bio-filler) is generated by placing the blood sample within a specialized centrifuge to isolate the beneficial cells, then the sample goes through a cooling and healing process to mix the plasma’s albumin and PRF’s growth factors. This extremely potent, organic serum can instantly revitalize the skin and release rejuvenating growth factors for up to 12 months after 3 treatments. Along with rejuvenating the skin, it can restore volume, reduce wrinkles, and achieve an overall more youthful look.

What Concerns Does PRF Gel Help With?

PRF injections are used similarly to dermal fillers and can help with the following skin concerns:

• Nasolabial folds
• Vertical forehead lines
• Under-eye hollows
• Volume loss

What to Expect from a PRF Gel Treatment

PRF injections take about 20-45 minutes depending on the area being treated and how many injections are needed. First, blood will be drawn and separated in the centrifuge. While you wait, we can apply numbing cream if desired to help you feel comfortable during the injections. Once the PRF has been separated from the red blood cells and other blood components, the gel will be injected into your face with a cannula.

Results and Recovery with PRF Gel

PRF injections require virtually no downtime. Have treatment, mild swelling and bruising are common but will subside within a few days. If you have an discomfort, you can use an ice pack and over-the-counter pain medication. Results will start to develop after two weeks and are often fully settled within a couple of months. For the best results, you may need 3-5 treatment sessions.
