What is PRF treatment?

Perhaps you have heard of PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) before, more commonly known as the vampire facial.

PRF treatment is a version of that, which has proven to be superior and more efficient than PRP.

PRF involves taking a small blood sample, which is spun in a centrifuge on a slow cycle and 100% natural. PRP is spun on a faster cycle and is not 100% natural, due to an anticoagulant within the collection tube. The process for PRF preserves the platelets and fibrin, key components in skin and hair rejuvenation, both improving collagen and elastin within the skin. The platelets remain active throughout the process and are rich in growth factors. These growth factors are released slowly, trapped inside the fibrin mesh.

If you’re looking for an organic approach to treating early signs of aging, scarring, sun damage, tear trough hollowing and thinning hair - PRF is ideal for you.

What are the main benefits of PRF treatment?

Because of aging, we lose volume in our faces and under our eyes, and the appearance of skin alters with decreasing collagen and elastin.

PRF can treat these common signs of aging, stimulating collagen production, restoring volume to the skin, improving the appearance of the under eye area, as well as an effective treatment for thinning hair.

Here at Serenity, we believe in taking a holistic approach. Combing treatments will always deliver you a superior result. We will advise you honestly and with a “value for money” attitude, tailoring you an individualised treatment plan to suit your requirements.

PRF treatment can be used alongside dermal fillers ,botox and microneedling to achieve your desired result: a fresh-faced, youthful looking, rejuvenated you.

Our Serenity Signature Facial combines the power of skin resurfacing and PRF in one treatment for the ultimate “glow up”.

Isn’t it about time you felt confident and loved the skin you’re in?

Improve fine lines, wrinkles, scarring, hollow under eyes, dark circles and thinning hair.

These results are all achievable when you book PRF with Serenity.

 

Specific areas of the skin can be targeted, such as:

  • Full Face
  • Tear Troughs
  • Neck
  • Decolletage
  • Back of Hands
  • Hair

 

What results can I expect from my PRF treatment?

Results last approximately 6 months and may include:

  • Enhanced skin tone and texture
  • Reduced appearance of wrinkles and fine lines
  • Improvement of scarring
  • Improvement of the tear troughs and dark circles
  • Reduced appearance of sun damaged skin
  • Stimulate the natural production of collagen, to plump and thicken skin
  • Improve skin that is dry or oily
  • Reduce redness of the skin

 

PRF Undereye Treatment

Combat under eye dark circles and improve tear trough hollowing.

Until now dermal fillers were the go-to treatment for under eyes. However, when used excessively these fillers can lead to puffiness and can rarely combat dark circles. Often dermal fillers are combined with PRF to address the hollowing and the skin itself. PRF can be used in isolation. Your practitioner will advise you of the most effective option to suit your requirements.

 

PRF Face Treatment

Improve skin texture, treat acne scaring and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

PRF face treatment can be used as a stand-alone treatment or combined with microneedling and skin resurfacing.

PRF face treatment can be used to combat the effects of aging for a youthful and rejuvenated appearance.

If you’re looking to treat the effects of sun damage or smoking, PRF treatment can help with that too. We do advise to refrain from smoking for 3-7 days prior to treatment and 3-7 days after, to ensure effective results.

And when combined with microneedling, PRF face treatment can visibly reduce the effects of acne scarring.

5 Benefits of PRF treatment

  • PRF treatment uses your body's own cells to encourage the health of your skin
  • PRF treatments are powered by collagen – this is the key to achieving youthful plumpness, which we lose as we age
  • PRF does not involve any synthetic fillers
  • PRF treatment can treat under-eye circles, decrease the appearance of wrinkles, stimulate skin healing, improve dry and oily skin, and reduce acne scarring
  • Importantly, PRF treatment is a very safe, natural procedure with minimal risk of side effects

Frequently Asked Questions

 

What does PRF treatment involve?

PRF treatment involves taking a small sample of your blood from which we extract platelets. The sample is placed in a centrifuge (a rotating machine) on a low-speed spin cycle, which separates out red blood cells and platelet-rich fibrin. The platelet-rich fibrin is injected into the area of concern, naturally triggering your cells to repair and regenerate.

Is PRF safe?

PRF is a great natural alternative to injecting synthetic substances or it can be used in conjunction with injectables. At Serenity, we believe in a natural and holistic approach. Typically, PRF treatment is very safe due to the nature of the naturally occurring injectable (plasma and fibrin). Like any injectable, there is a risk of bruising, swelling, and pain at the site of the injection. However, this should go down within a few days following treatment.

What does PRF contain?

Unlike fillers and Botox injections, PRF treatment is 100% natural and organic. PRF contains substances naturally found in your body, your own blood, and fibrin, a protein matrix.  Once these natural substances have been harvested, a gel is formed which is made up of a high concentration of white blood cells, stem cells (for growth) and fibrin, which is injected back into your skin for facial rejuvenation.

What is Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF)?

PRF injections (made from plasma and fibrin) stimulate healing at a cellular level. Platelets are rich in growth factors and remain active during the process. The Fibrin acts a mesh for the collagen and hyaluronic acid. PRF can be used for rejuvenation, thinning hair, the improvement of scarring and under eye hollowing.

Does PRF treatment hurt?

A very mild stingy sensation may be felt when the injections are made. Injections are made with very fine needles or a cannula to minimise the pain and can be administered with a local anaesthetic. You can discuss any concerns you have with us for full support and guidance.

Are there any side effects?

There are a few side effects associated with PRF treatment you should consider.

These include:

  • Mild bruising and swelling of the skin where injected
  • Some tenderness of the skin

Please note that these side effects should go in a few days.

How long is the healing process?

Following the procedure, there is usually minimal to no downtime, so you can resume daily activities as normal. However, we do advise that you have no special events for 3 days after. The healing process is gradual with side effects (as described above) fading after a few days and the desirable results of the treatment appearing noticeable between 2 to 4 weeks.

How long does PRF treatment take to administer?

PRF treatment takes approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour to administer and is performed in a series of treatments spaced out, 4 weeks apart.

Can I expect results immediately?

The effects of PRF may be seen within a few days. However, you may need several treatments to see results. As your skin begins to produce more collagen you should begin to notice more significant results 4 to 6 weeks after your treatment. For long-term benefits, such as enhanced skin quality, we suggest repeating treatments every 6-12 months.

How long do the results of PRF treatment last?

Results typically last 6-12 months. However, please note that each patient is different. The treatment outcome is dependent on the quality of your own blood. We recommend living a healthy lifestyle in the lead up to your treatment and after. Maintain hydration levels and refrain from smoking.

What areas respond best to PRF treatment?

  • Full face
  • Under eyes
  • Hair (thinning hair NOT hair loss)
  • Neck
  • Decolletage
  • Back of Hands

PRF can also be used to treat forehead lines, crow’s feet and cheek lines, etc.

How can I benefit from PRF treatment?

If you are looking to achieve youthful-looking rejuvenated skin, Improving the appearance of scarring, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, or improve under eye hollowing and dark circles, PRF treatment can help you achieve that.

What should I do before and after my PRF treatment for the best results?

Before your PRF treatment

  • Avoid alcohol, tobacco, blood thinning supplements, and painkillers
  • Keep hydrated for a week leading up to the PRF treatment
  • Wash your hair on the morning of the PRF treatment (for hair thinning treatment)
  • Arrive with no make-up

After your PRF treatment

  • Avoid heavy exercise for 24 hours
  • Avoid alcohol, tobacco, blood thinning supplements, and painkillers
  • Avoid make-up for 24 hours
  • Do not touch the treatment area for 24 hours
  • Wear a hat to protect from UV rays
  • Avoid styling products for 24 hours (for hair thinning treatment)
  • Shampoo your hair the day after the procedure (for hair thinning treatment)

Is there anything else I need to be aware of?

The number of sessions needed can vary from patient to patient. For example, smokers may require more sessions than non-smokers, as smoking effects wound healing and blood quality. Typically, those that lead healthy lifestyles with no underlying health conditions will respond more effectively.
