PRF
Harness your body's natural growth factors to rejuvenate skin, improve texture, and support natural healing.
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is created from a small sample of your own blood. It contains platelets, fibrin, white blood cells, and growth factors that help stimulate tissue repair and collagen production. PRF is commonly used to improve skin quality, reduce under-eye hollows, support hair restoration, and enhance overall skin rejuvenation.
What PRF Can Treat
Under-Eye Hollows
Improve the appearance of tired-looking eyes and support healthier, smoother under-eye skin.
Acne Scars
Support skin remodeling and improve the appearance of certain acne scars over time.
Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Stimulate collagen to soften fine lines and improve overall skin texture.
Hair Thinning
Stimulate the scalp to encourage healthier hair growth in appropriate candidates.
Skin Quality
Enhance skin tone, firmness, elasticity, and natural radiance using your body's own growth factors.
Overall Skin Rejuvenation
Promote natural healing and collagen production for healthier, more youthful-looking skin.
What to Expect
Treatment Day
Treatment typically takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. A topical numbing agent may be used for comfort, and Sculptra is carefully injected into targeted areas.
Results
Results develop gradually as the treated area responds.
Improvement may become noticeable over the following several weeks.
Skin quality and texture may continue to improve over time.
Results vary depending on the treatment area, number of sessions, and individual response.
Recovery
Most patients return to normal activities the same day. Mild swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising may occur and generally improves over the next several days.
Follow-Up
PRF treatment plans are personalized. Alicia may recommend a series of treatments and follow-up visits based on your concerns, treatment area, and response.
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about PRF, recovery, and how treatment supports natural skin rejuvenation.
How does PRF work?
Platelet-Rich Fibrin is prepared from a small sample of your own blood. The resulting concentration contains platelets, fibrin, and growth factors that are used to support tissue repair, collagen production, and gradual skin rejuvenation.
What can PRF improve?
ScPRF may be used to improve skin texture, elasticity, fine lines, and the appearance of the under-eye area. It may also be used for hair-restoration treatments in appropriate patients.
When will I see my results?
Results develop gradually as the skin responds to treatment. Some studies have evaluated improvement over several weeks to approximately three months, although timing varies by treatment area, protocol, and individual response.
How many treatments will I need?
The recommended number of treatments varies depending on your concerns and treatment area. Some facial-rejuvenation research has used a series of three sessions, but Alicia will create a personalized plan based on your goals and response.
Is there any downtime?
Most patients experience limited downtime. Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising, or small injection-site bumps may occur and generally improve as the area heals. Published reviews have primarily reported mild, temporary adverse effects.
Does PRF treatment hurt?
Most patients find treatment tolerable. Discomfort may occur during the blood draw and injections, but Alicia can discuss comfort measures and explain what to expect before treatment.
How long do PRF results last?
The duration of improvement varies, and research has not established one standard timeline for every PRF preparation or treatment area. Some periorbital studies found that improvements diminished by around six months, while protocols and individual outcomes differed considerably.
Who is a good candidate for PRF?
Adults interested in gradual skin rejuvenation, improved texture, under-eye treatment, or hair restoration may be candidates. Alicia will review your medical history, treatment goals, and anatomy to determine whether PRF is appropriate.
