Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) Filler

PRF is a concentrated part of your blood that contains: 

• Platelets
• White blood cells
• Stem cells
• A soft fibrin matrix

These work together to release growth factors — the body’s natural healing signals — over 7–14 days, with some studies showing release for up to 4 weeks. This slow release helps your skin build collagen, improve texture, and regenerate from within. 

The process is simple and quick: 

1. A small blood sample is taken from your arm.
2. The tube is placed into a special low‑speed centrifuge.
3. Because no anticoagulants are used, the blood naturally forms a soft fibrin gel.
4. The top layer — often called “liquid gold” — is collected and used as the injectable filler.

This gel contains your own platelets and stem cells in a natural scaffold that slowly releases healing signals into the skin. 

Depending on the area, your practitioner may use: 

• A cannula (blunt, flexible instrument) for delicate areas like the under‑eyes • A fine needle for precise placement • Micro‑droplet injections for skin‑quality improvement

The treatment is usually well‑tolerated, with minimal discomfort.  

What PRF Filler Can Help With 

PRF is especially effective for: 

✨ Under‑eye hollows and dark circles  

Soft, natural improvement without the heaviness that can occur with traditional fillers. 

✨ Fine lines and crepey skin 

Around the eyes, mouth, and cheeks. 

✨ Skin texture and radiance 

Improves pores, scars, and overall glow. 

✨ Early volume loss 

Gives a subtle, refreshed look. 

✨ Hair growth support 

When used on the scalp. 

• 100% natural — no synthetic material
• Very low allergy risk
• Gradual, natural‑looking results
• Improves skin quality, not just volume • Stimulates collagen and tissue regeneration • Minimal downtime • Safe for delicate areas like the tear troughs

• Results are subtle, not dramatic
• May require multiple sessions
• Not a replacement for structural volume fillers • Temporary swelling or puffiness can occur • Results take weeks, not days

• Regeneration begins around 6–8 weeks
• Improvements can last 6–12 months
• Growth factors continue releasing for 7–14 days, sometimes up to 4 weeks

Most patients choose a series of 2–3 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, for best results. 

PRF is ideal for people who: 

• Prefer natural, regenerative treatments
• Want under‑eye improvement without synthetic fillers 
• Have early signs of ageing or skin thinning
• Want better skin quality, not just volume
• Are sensitive to traditional fillers

PRF may not be suitable if you have: 

• Autoimmune conditions affecting blood or healing • Blood disorders • Very low platelet counts • Active infection or inflammation • Severe volume loss needing structural filler • Are on strong anticoagulant medication

Your practitioner will assess suitability during consultation.  

Pre‑Procedure Preparation 

To ensure the best results: 

1. Hydrate well

Drink plenty of water for 48 hours beforehand — hydrated blood produces better PRF. 

2. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours

It can increase bruising. 

3. Avoid anti‑inflammatory medications

Ibuprofen, aspirin, and naproxen can affect platelet function. 

(If prescribed by your doctor, do not stop without medical advice.) 

4. Arrive well‑rested and nourished

Healthy blood = better PRF quality. 

5. Pause supplements that increase bruising

If safe for you: fish oil, vitamin E, ginkgo, garlic tablets (stop 3–5 days prior). 

Aftercare Instructions 

Immediately After 

• Expect mild swelling, puffiness, or small bumps — especially under the eyes • Avoid touching or massaging the area • No makeup for 12–24 hours • Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours

For the First 48 Hours 

• Avoid saunas, steam rooms, hot yoga
• Avoid alcohol
• Sleep slightly elevated if the under‑eyes were treated

 For One Week 

• Avoid facials, peels, or microneedling • Avoid anti‑inflammatory medications unless medically necessary (Inflammation is part of the healing process)

• Increasing redness
• Persistent swelling beyond 5–7 days
• Pain that worsens rather than improves

 These are uncommon but should be checked. 

Expectation Management: What Results Look Like 

Immediately After Treatment 

• You may look slightly puffy or swollen • The area may feel warm or full • This settles over 24–72 hours

 First 2 Weeks 

• The PRF matrix slowly releases growth factors • Skin begins healing and regenerating • You may notice subtle brightness or firmness

6–8 Weeks 

• This is when the real results appear
• Under‑eyes look smoother and less hollow • Skin looks healthier, firmer, and more even

Long‑Term 

• Results continue to improve with repeated sessions • Best outcomes come from 2–3 treatments
