What Are PRF Injections?
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a groundbreaking evolution of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, specifically engineered to optimize the natural regenerative properties of your blood. Here’s how it works:
- To create PRF, your blood is drawn and spun at lower speeds than PRP in a centrifuge without the need for anticoagulants, allowing the platelets, growth factors, white blood cells, and stem cells to remain in a fibrin matrix
- This fibrin network acts as a supportive scaffold, slowly releasing growth factors into the tissues over an extended period
- As these growth factors are delivered steadily, they stimulate the body’s healing response more effectively, promoting tissue rejuvenation
PRF Injection Benefits
- Natural Collagen Boost: Collagen is the secret to youthful-looking skin. PRF actively encourages new collagen production, resulting in firmer, healthier-looking skin.
- Enhanced Radiance: PRF can restore a fresh glow to the complexion by stimulating cellular turnover and nourishing tissues from within.
- Smooth Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Over time, PRF can soften the appearance of fine lines and creases, helping you look relaxed and refreshed.
- Safe and Biocompatible: Because PRF is created from your blood, it is exceptionally well-tolerated, with minimal risk of adverse reactions.
- Long-Lasting, Progressive Results: Unlike some quick fixes, PRF continues to work in the weeks and months following treatment, improving your skin’s quality from within.
Am I a Good Candidate for This Treatment?
You may be an ideal candidate if:
- You have mild to moderate signs of aging, including fine lines, minor skin laxity, or a dull complexion that you’d like to refresh
- You want noticeable improvements but are not ready for more invasive procedures
- You’re in generally good health
Simply put, most healthy adults looking to boost collagen production and enhance their complexion can benefit from PRF.
What to Expect Before, During, and After
Consultation
Your journey begins with a private consultation at our Newport Beach medspa, where Dr. Joe Cerni or a member of our skilled team will assess your skin’s condition and discuss your aesthetic goals. We’ll explain the treatment process, recovery guidelines, and projected results, ensuring you feel comfortable and informed every step of the way.
Procedure
On the day of your PRF injections, we’ll gently draw a small vial of your blood and process it in a specialized centrifuge to separate the platelets and fibrin. Once prepared, your custom blend of PRF is meticulously injected into the areas that need rejuvenation. Most patients find the procedure quick and minimally uncomfortable.
Recovery and Results
Because PRF is made from your own cells, there’s little downtime. You may experience mild redness or swelling at the injection sites, which typically resolves quickly. Over the next several weeks, your skin gradually appears smoother, firmer, and more radiant, thanks to enhanced collagen production and increased circulation.
FAQ
How many PRF sessions will I need for optimal results?
The number of sessions can vary based on your skin condition and personal goals. Many patients see noticeable improvement after one treatment, but a series of two to three sessions spaced several weeks apart may be recommended for longer-lasting more comprehensive rejuvenation.
Can PRF injections address areas other than the face?
Absolutely. Although PRF is popular for facial rejuvenation, it can also be applied to areas like the neck, décolletage, hands, and even the scalp for hair restoration. Because PRF relies on your body’s own regenerative abilities, it’s versatile enough to support healthy tissue renewal in multiple areas.
What does PRF feel like during the injection process?
Most patients describe the injections as feeling similar to a standard injectable treatment—some pressure or mild discomfort, but it’s usually very tolerable. We can also provide a topical numbing agent or other comfort measures if needed.
How long do results from PRF injections typically last?
Many patients enjoy results for several months, and sometimes longer, depending on their skin’s natural regenerative capabilities. Because PRF stimulates your body’s own collagen production, the improvements can continue even after initial results are visible. Periodic maintenance treatments can help extend these benefits.
Is there anything I should avoid right after treatment?
While post-treatment downtime is minimal, we often recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, direct sun exposure, and extremely hot environments (like saunas or steam rooms) for at least 24 to 48 hours. This helps minimize any potential swelling and ensures optimal conditions for collagen stimulation.
Can I combine PRF injections with other treatments?
Yes! PRF is an excellent complement to many other aesthetic procedures—like microneedling, laser skin resurfacing, or injectable fillers—because it enhances cellular renewal from within. Our team can design a customized plan that layers PRF with other therapies to maximize your rejuvenation results.
Can I Get PRF Injections if I’m Pregnant or Breastfeeding?
While PRF is considered safe because it uses your own blood, we generally recommend postponing elective aesthetic procedures until after pregnancy and breastfeeding. It’s always best to consult your OB-GYN and our medical team to determine the safest course of action for your unique situation.
