Liquid PRF

What is Liquid PRF?

PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) are regenerative treatments that use your body’s own growth factors to improve skin quality, stimulate collagen, and support natural tissue repair.

A small sample of your blood is drawn and processed to concentrate platelets and healing proteins. These growth factors are then injected into targeted areas to rejuvenate the skin and support long-term collagen production.

Because PRF comes from your own blood, the treatment is natural, biocompatible, and minimally invasive.

These treatments are commonly used for skin rejuvenation, under-eye concerns, acne scars, and smile lines. 

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between PRP and PRF treatments?

PRP releases growth factors quickly and is commonly used with microneedling and hair restoration, while PRF releases growth factors more slowly and is often used for injections and under-eye rejuvenation.

What areas can PRF treat?

PRF liquid can be used for under-eye concerns and smile lines (nasolabial folds), as well as facial rejuvenation, acne scars, neck, chest, hands, perioral lines, stretch marks, and surgical or traumatic scars to improve skin quality and stimulate collagen production.

How long does the treatment take?

The procedure usually takes 60 minutes, including the blood draw and treatment.

Is the treatment painful?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort. Topical numbing cream is typically used before treatment.

How many treatments will I need?

Most patients benefit from a series of 3 treatments spaced about 4–6 weeks apart.

When will I see results?

When will I see results? Results develop gradually as collagen production increases, usually within 4–8 weeks.

How long do results last?

PRP/PRF stimulates your skin’s natural collagen production. Most patients notice improvement for about 2–4 months, and results can last longer with a series of treatments.

Is there downtime after treatment?

You may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising for a few days, but most patients return to normal activities quickly.

Liquid PRF Pre-Treatment Guidelines

• Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, omega-3, vitamin E, and ginkgo) for 5–7 days, if medically appropriate.

• Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your treatment.

• Stay well hydrated for at least 24–48 hours prior to your appointment, as hydration helps improve the quality of PRP/PRF.

 

  • Avoid excessive sun exposure or sunburn before treatment.

  • Avoid heavy exercise on the day of your appointment.

  • Arrive with clean skin (no makeup if facial treatment).

  • Inform your provider if you have active skin infections, cold sores, or are currently taking blood-thinning medications.
