Facial injections with PRF (platelet rich fibrin) utilizes your own body’s natural and powerful healing properties and concentrated growth factors found within your own blood. PRF rejuvenates skin and increases collagen production, decreases the appearance of wrinkles, tightens skin, and reduces acne scarring.
What It Is
Facial injections with PRF is similar to neurotoxin (Botox/Dysport/Xeomin) injections. However, instead of neurotoxins, PRF is used. No artificial substances are used in this procedure.
How it’s done
A small sample of your blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to separate your blood into layers. The middle layer (also known as the buffy coat) contains growth factors that produce collagen production to tighten skin, decrease the appearance of wrinkles, and reduce scarring.
What to expect
Expect a minimal amount of discomfort during the procedure. Unlike, neurotoxin injections, it may take about a month to see results and sometimes, multiple treatments are needed for full effects to be seen. This is due to the your own body producing collagen that acts naturally to tighten skin and reduce scarring. There may be some redness that will go away in a few hours. There is no downtime with this procedure.
