Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is an advanced regenerative treatment that uses the healing power of your own blood to naturally improve skin health and support hair restoration. After a simple blood draw, the sample is placed in a centrifuge that spins at low speed to create a concentrated solution rich in platelets, white blood cells and growth factors. This forms a soft fibrin matrix that helps activate natural healing and tissue regeneration.
Once applied to the skin or scalp, PRF works by gradually releasing growth factors that support natural regeneration. It helps improve skin firmness, smooth out fine lines, reduce under-eye hollows and fade acne scars. On the scalp, it can help stimulate hair growth in areas affected by thinning. Because PRF is derived from your own blood and free of additives, it integrates smoothly with your body and delivers results that look and feel natural.
After a small blood draw, your sample is placed in a centrifuge that spins slowly. This gentle process separates and concentrates the most healing parts of your blood such as platelets, white blood cells and growth factors into what we call platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). This golden, gel-like substance is then applied to the skin using microneedling or small injections.
Once under the skin, PRF slowly releases natural growth factors over several days. These growth factors help boost collagen production, improve blood flow and encourage your skin cells to repair and renew themselves. The result is smoother, firmer and more even-looking skin that improves gradually and naturally over time.
Compared to platelet-rich plasma (PRP), PRF works more slowly but lasts longer. It does not contain any additives or anticoagulants, which allows it to work in harmony with your body for soft and natural-looking results.
PRF is used to target common concerns such as hollow under-eyes, volume loss in the cheeks, smile lines, acne scars and early signs of skin laxity. It also supports hair restoration by reactivating dormant follicles on the scalp. Applied either through microneedling or mesotherapy, depending on the area, this treatment integrates naturally with your skin and can be combined with advanced technologies like exosomes to enhance cellular regeneration and extend results.
Your journey begins with a one-on-one consultation with a Dermapure professional. During this visit, your skin or scalp will be assessed, your goals will be discussed, and your provider will determine whether PRF is the most suitable treatment for your needs. This step ensures a personalized, medically guided approach tailored to your concerns.
Photos of the treatment area may be taken and added to your file. These images help document your baseline and allow you to track your progress over time.
A small blood sample is drawn and placed in a centrifuge that spins at a controlled, low speed. This process isolates the fibrin-rich layer, which contains high concentrations of platelets, white blood cells and growth factors.
Before application, the targeted area is cleansed and disinfected to ensure a safe and sterile treatment environment.
The PRF is applied to the skin using fine injections or microneedling, depending on the indication and area being treated. This allows the active components to penetrate more effectively and stimulate tissue regeneration.
You may experience mild redness or swelling following the procedure, which typically resolves within 24 to 48 hours. Your provider will give you clear post-treatment instructions to support optimal healing.
Because PRF releases growth factors gradually over several days, results appear progressively. Skin texture, tone and volume improve over the following weeks, with continued collagen stimulation and visible, natural-looking rejuvenation.
Because every treatment plan is personalized, the cost of PRF may vary based on the number of sessions recommended and the areas being treated. During your consultation, your provider will assess your needs and outline a tailored plan along with a detailed cost estimate.
PRF is often part of a broader skin health strategy and may be combined with other treatments to support optimal results. Our team will guide you through your options and help you build a plan that aligns with your goals and budget.
PRF delivers progressive and long-lasting results. In most cases, a series of 2 to 4 sessions spaced several weeks apart is recommended to activate optimal skin or hair regeneration. Your provider will determine the ideal number and frequency of sessions based on your skin condition and goals.
To enhance outcomes, PRF can be combined with other aesthetic treatments such as RF microneedling or dermal fillers. These combinations can support deeper collagen stimulation and restore volume more effectively. Your provider will tailor a treatment plan that aligns with your skin’s needs and long-term objectives.
PRF is a safe treatment derived from your own blood, but it may not be suitable for everyone. Individuals with certain medical conditions or blood disorders may not be eligible for this procedure. Contraindications may include active infections or inflammatory skin conditions in the treatment area, blood clotting disorders or anticoagulant therapy, autoimmune diseases affecting skin healing and pregnancy or breastfeeding.
During your consultation, your provider will review your medical history to ensure that PRF is appropriate and safe for you.

PRF and exosome treatments both aim to support skin regeneration, but they work differently. PRF is fully autologous, meaning it comes from your own blood and contains platelets, white blood cells and natural growth factors. Exosomes, on the other hand, are lab-produced and typically derived from stem cells. While exosomes may offer targeted signals for cell repair, PRF provides a broader mix of healing components and integrates more naturally with your body. Many patients prefer PRF for its safety, biocompatibility and proven ability to stimulate collagen and tissue renewal over time.
Since PRF is made from your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is extremely low. Most side effects are minor and temporary, such as redness, swelling, mild bruising or tenderness at the injection site. These usually resolve within a few days. As with any injectable procedure, there is a small risk of infection or localized inflammation, but these are rare when the treatment is performed in a controlled, medical environment. Your provider will review your medical history to ensure that PRF is safe and appropriate for you.
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) and PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) are both derived from your own blood, but they differ in preparation and how they work. PRF is processed at a lower speed without anticoagulants, allowing it to form a fibrin matrix that releases growth factors slowly over several days. This results in more gradual, longer-lasting effects. PRP, on the other hand, contains additives and releases growth factors quickly for faster, short-term results.
PRF can be injected into areas such as the under-eye hollows, cheeks, smile lines, acne scars, and scalp. It is ideal for delicate areas where subtle volume restoration and tissue regeneration are needed.
