PRF
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is an advanced, all-natural treatment that utilizes your body’s own healing properties to rejuvenate skin and promote hair growth. At our clinic, we specialize in PRF treatments for tear trough rejuvenation and hair restoration, offering a minimally invasive solution to enhance your natural beauty.
What is PRF?
PRF is derived from your own blood and contains a high concentration of platelets, fibrin, white blood cells, and stem cells. Unlike Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), PRF is processed without anticoagulants, resulting in a fibrin matrix that acts as a scaffold to support cell migration and the sustained release of growth factors. This matrix promotes tissue regeneration and healing, making PRF an effective treatment for various aesthetic concerns.
Treatment
PRF for Tear Trough Rejuvenation
The tear trough area, located under the eyes, is prone to volume loss, dark circles, and fine lines as we age. PRF injections can improve dark circles and tear troughs where the lower eyelids meet the cheek area. If significant volume loss is present, we may recommend PRF Gel as a more suitable option.
PRF for Hair Restoration
Hair loss can be a distressing experience for both men and women. PRF hair restoration is a non-surgical procedure that involves injecting platelet-rich fibrin into the scalp to stimulate hair growth. The growth factors and stem cells present in PRF promote the regeneration of hair follicles, leading to improved hair density and thickness.
Our Approach
At our clinic, we prioritize personalized care tailored to your unique needs. During your consultation, we will assess your specific concerns and develop a customized treatment plan to achieve optimal results.
Benefits of PRF Treatments
- Natural and Safe: Utilizes your body's own cells, reducing the risk of adverse reactions.

- Long-Lasting Results: Stimulates natural tissue regeneration for enduring improvements.
- Versatile Applications: Effective for both skin rejuvenation and hair restoration.
What to Expect
- 1. Consultation: Discuss your goals and medical history.
- 2. Blood Collection: A small sample of your blood is drawn.
- 3. PRF Preparation: The blood sample is processed to isolate the PRF.
- 4. Injection: The PRF is carefully injected into the targeted areas.
- 5. Post-Treatment: You may experience mild swelling or bruising, which typically subsides within a few days. Make sure to review provided pre and post instructions carefully.
FAQs
How many PRF sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies depending on individual goals and the treatment area. Typically, a series of 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results.
When will I see results?
Improvements from PRF treatments develop gradually as collagen production and tissue regeneration occur. Most patients notice visible changes within a few weeks, with continued improvements over several months.
Are there any side effects?
Since PRF uses your own blood components, side effects are minimal. Some patients may experience temporary swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection site.
Is there any downtime?
Downtime is minimal. Most patients can resume normal activities immediately after the procedure.
How does PRF differ from PRP?
At our office, we use the latest technology to generate Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF), which is a complex fibrin matrix rich in platelets, leukocytes, and mesenchymal stem cells. For 10-12 days, this results in the constant release of growth factors and interleukins, which accelerate tissue healing and regeneration processes. This 100% autologous rejuvenation technique is a substantial advancement from the well-established Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) technique, where growth factors are released only for a few minutes after treatment. PRF is entirely natural, with no coatings, additives, or anticoagulants present in the tubes, and it has been proven to release a higher concentration of growth factors over a longer period.
What is the difference between PRF and PRF Gel?
PRF is a liquid formulation containing platelets, fibrin, and growth factors, ideal for improving skin quality, collagen production, and tissue regeneration. PRF Gel, also known as PRF EZ Gel, is created by heating and cooling PRF to create a thicker consistency, making it a natural alternative for volume restoration similar to traditional fillers.
Which do I need? PRF or PRF Gel?
Deciding between PRF and PRF EZ Gel depends on your specific aesthetic goals. PRF may be the ideal choice if you’re primarily interested in skin rejuvenation, improving skin tone, and boosting collagen production. For those seeking a natural approach to facial volumization alongside regenerative benefits, PRF EZ Gel offers the best of both worlds.
Consulting with Dr. Milman or Becki is crucial in determining the most appropriate treatment for your needs. They can assess your skin concerns, volume loss, and overall aesthetic goals to guide you toward the best option. Both PRF and PRF EZ Gel represent cutting-edge advancements in aesthetic medicine, offering natural, biocompatible solutions for skin rejuvenation and volume restoration.
