Why We Love It

  • It’s safe and effective for all skin types.
  • It uses concentrated cells from your own blood to naturally rejuvenate skin.
  • It really shines for under eyes, but is great for other areas too!

What to Expect

  • We’ll draw a little of your blood and spin it in a centrifuge to make PRF
  • Before treatment, we apply topical numbing cream to ensure you’re comfortable.
  • When paired with Microneedling or RF Microneedling, PRF is applied topically. PRF is injected to rejuvenate deeper layers of the skin or into the scalp to stimulate hair growth.

PRF Uses

PRF can be applied topically or injected to:

  • Rejuvenate under eye hollows and dark circles
  • Volumize cheeks
  • Reduce the appearance of acne scarring
  • Smooth lines and wrinkles
  • Tighten, firm and improve overall skin texture
  • Restore thinning or balding hair

Pair PRF with Microneedling to Boost Results and Accelerate Healing

Microneedling uses tiny needles to create controlled injury of the skin that triggers the body’s natural healing process. When PRF is applied topically with microneedling, it is absorbed deep into the skin via microchannels created during microneedling. This boosts the benefits of microneedling to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, reduce the appearance of scars, and stimulate collagen production for firmer, smoother skin. PRF also reduces the microneedling downtime by almost half!

Inject PRF to Sculpt and Rejuvenate

PRF can be injected into the skin, just like dermal filler. This triggers your skin’s healing mechanism to generate new collagen and elastin which leads to smoother, firmer, healthier skin. It’s the #1 treatment for under eyes, covering dark circles and smoothing puffy under eye bags. It can also restore lost volume to the cheeks, smooth lines and wrinkles around the mouth, and sculpt a more defined jawline.

Pair PRF with Dermal Filler to Enhance Results

Dermal filler adds or restores lost volume in the face. Adding PRF to dermal filler treatments extends and enhances filler results by improving skin texture and tone for a significantly younger looking appearance.

Inject PRF into the Scalp to Treat Hair Loss

When injected into the scalp, PRF reactivates hair follicles and stimulates new hair growth for a fuller, healthier head of hair. A series of at least four will significantly reduce thinning, restore thickness, and enhance color for strong, beautiful hair.

Pair PRF with Laser Treatments to Boost Results and Accelerate Healing

In the same way that PRF can be paired with microneedling, PRF can also be added to laser skin resurfacing treatments to accelerate pigment reduction, stimulate collagen production to reduce lines, wrinkles and scars, and significantly reduce recovery time.

FAQ

What exactly is PRF?

PRF stands for platelet-rich fibrin. It’s a concentrated solution of the regenerative cells in your blood: plasma, platelets, white blood cells and mesenchymal stem cells.

PRF is created by drawing a small amount of your blood, then spinning it in a centrifuge to separate the red blood cells from the other cells that will be collected and used.

Once the regenerative cells are separated from the plasma, they begin to coagulate and form a fibrin scaffold. This fibrin scaffold is a network of proteins that keeps the other cells active and allows a longer, more durable release of growth factors.

This solution is rich in natural growth factors and platelets that are essential to the body’s healing process after an injury to fight infection, and repair skin and tissue.

In a cosmetic setting, PRF triggers this healing process to naturally rejuvenate skin and create a more youthful appearance.

How is PRF different from PRP?

PRP is platelet-rich plasma. PRF is platelet-rich fibrin. While both are created using your own blood, there are a few key differences.

The first key difference is the centrifuge spin speed. PRF is spun much slower than PRP, which retains all cells other than red blood cells – platelets, white blood cells and mesenchymal stem cells – increasing the solution’s potency and effectiveness.

The second difference is that PRF has less volume, less plasma, and contains fibrin. Plasma is mostly water and some proteins, making PRP more diluted than PRF. The fibrin in PRF slows the release of growth factors to approximately a week, as compared to a few hours with PRP, so the regenerative cells have more time to affect your tissue.

Combined these differences make PRF more effective than PRP.

Which PRF System do you use?

ElaMar uses the industry leading EZPRF system. EZPRF is the ultimate concentrate for skin rejuvenation and hair restoration. EZPRF contains more platelets, leukocytes (white blood cells), and mesenchymal stem cells than other PRP and PRF systems, resulting in greater benefits and better outcomes.

Is there any downtime?

Downtime varies depending on the use. For Microneedling and RF Microneedling with PRF, expect redness and possible bruising for 3 to 5 days. For injections you may notice some redness, swelling, tenderness and bruising at the injection site, but it’s typically mild enough to return to work immediately after. There is no downtime for hair. We’ll always let you know what to expect prior to treatment and provide you with everything you need to recover quickly and comfortably!

When will I see results?

You’ll begin to see results in 1 to 2 weeks, with results continuing to improve and reaching full effect at around 3 months.

How long will results last?

Results from PRF are permanent! However, we can’t stop the aging process so regular treatments are crucial for maintaining your results.

Does it hurt?

Topical numbing cream is applied for treatments to keep you comfortable. PRF injections feel similar to dermal filler and will involve slight discomfort.

Are there any side effects?

Because PRF is taken from your own blood, there are no side effects from the PRF. However, there may be mild side effects such as bleeding, bruising, swelling and redness from the injection. These usually improve within 1-3 days after treatment.

Can I get PRF if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?

We recommend consulting with your doctor prior to receiving PRF treatments if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Pre-Treatment Tips

  • Schedule your treatment at least two weeks prior to events. This allows time for any redness, swelling or bruising to heal.
  • For injections: discontinuing use of aspirin, ibuprofen and other anti-inflammatories for at least 3 days, preferably a week, prior to your appointment will reduce the risk of redness and bruising. Please consult with your primary physician prior to discontinuing any medications.
  • Avoid alcohol, caffeine, Niacin supplement and cigarettes 24-48 hours before and after your treatment. This will significantly reduce the risk of bruising and swelling.
  • If prone to bruising, starting Arnica supplements at least 2 days prior to injections may help reduce bruising.
  • Let the provider know if you have a history of cold sores. An antiviral may be prescribed.
  • Avoid IPL photofacials and laser procedures for 7 days prior to treatment, unless pairing PRF with your laser treatment.

Post Treatment Tips

  • Avoid rigorous exercise activities, excessive sun or heat exposure, and alcoholic beverages for 24 hours following treatment.
  • No facials or saunas for 48 hours after treatment.
  • You may gently wash with soap & water.
  • You may apply a mineral make-up 24 hours after treatment.
  • There may be some mild swelling. You may apply ice packs for 15 minutes every 1 hour, if needed.
  • There may be some bruising. It will resolve like any other bruise in about a week. You may apply Arnica cream to help with healing.
  • We recommend Tylenol if you have any discomfort. Avoid aspirin as it may worsen bruising.
