What Are PRF Injections?

PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) injections are a regenerative medical treatment that uses the patient’s blood components to promote healing. The procedure involves drawing a small amount of blood, processing it to isolate the platelet-rich fibrin, and injecting this solution into the targeted area. PRF contains a high concentration of platelets, growth factors, and cytokines that naturally support tissue regeneration and repair processes. Unlike PRP (a similar treatment), PRF forms a fibrin matrix that provides a slow, sustained release of growth factors to the treatment site. This therapy has applications in various medical fields, including orthopedics, dermatology, and aesthetic medicine.

PRF Injection Procedure

Consultation and Assessment

Before the procedure, a comprehensive consultation takes place to evaluate the patient’s condition and determine treatment suitability. Our provider examines the target area, reviews medical history, and discusses expectations. This initial assessment helps create a tailored treatment plan and establishes appropriate injection sites for optimal therapeutic effect.

The PRF procedure begins with collecting a small amount of the patient’s blood, typically from the arm, similar to a routine blood draw. The amount gathered varies based on the size of the treatment area and the number of injections needed. Collection typically takes only a few minutes and requires minimal preparation.

Once gathered, the blood sample is immediately placed in a specialized centrifuge. This device spins it at a calibrated speed to separate platelets, red blood cells, and white blood cells into distinct layers. Unlike similar procedures, the PRF process uses specific centrifugation parameters that optimize the formation of the fibrin matrix.

After centrifugation, the PRF layer is carefully extracted. This golden-yellow substance contains concentrated platelets, leukocytes, and a fibrin matrix that serves as a scaffold for tissue regeneration. No anticoagulants or additives are used in the process, allowing for a pure preparation.

The PRF is transferred to sterile syringes for immediate application. Our provider injects the solution directly into the target area using precise techniques appropriate for the specific condition. Depending on the treatment plan, multiple injections may be performed during a single session.

After the procedure, the patient is observed briefly to monitor for immediate reactions. Our provider may apply light pressure or cold compresses to minimize swelling at injection sites. Before departure, patients receive specific aftercare instructions to maximize the therapeutic benefits of the PRF treatment and ensure proper healing.

Aftercare

Proper aftercare following PRF injections is essential for optimal results and minimizing complications. Patients should avoid touching or pressing the treated area for at least 24 hours and refrain from strenuous activities for 1-2 days. Mild swelling or redness is normal and typically subsides within 48 hours. Patients are advised to stay well-hydrated, avoid blood-thinning medications unless medically necessary, and follow any specific care instructions our practitioners provide for their particular treatment area.

What Is the Difference Between PRP and PRF Injections?

While both treatments utilize the patient’s blood components to promote healing, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and PRF differ in several important ways. Here are the main distinctions:

Candidates for PRF Injections

PRF injections suit a broad range of patients seeking regenerative treatments for various conditions. The following groups are typically appropriate candidates:

Benefits of PRF Injections

Natural Regeneration and Pain Relief

PRF harnesses the body’s innate healing mechanisms to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain at the source. The concentrated growth factors accelerate tissue repair while decreasing inflammatory markers, providing a dual action of regeneration and relief without reliance on medications or steroids.
PRF injections stimulate collagen production, triggering the body’s natural regenerative processes. The growth factors released from the platelets enhance cellular turnover and tissue repair, providing significant anti-aging effects. This natural approach helps rebuild and revitalize aging skin without synthetic chemicals or topical products, which are only skin deep.
The fibrin matrix in PRF provides structural support while delivering a sustained release of growth factors that enhance skin elasticity. This improvement in texture occurs gradually and progressively, revealing the patient’s natural beauty through improved firmness and resilience. Unlike many medical spas, Advanced Wellness has a team of licensed professionals who achieve excellent results.
PRF injections offer effective wrinkle reduction by promoting cellular renewal and repair in areas affected by aging or environmental factors. The regenerative properties of PRF can also help reduce hyperpigmentation and address sun damage by supporting healthy new skin cell development.
When injected into the scalp, PRF delivers concentrated growth factors directly to hair follicles, rejuvenating dormant ones and strengthening existing tissues to combat hair thinning. The natural proteins and cytokines in PRF create an optimal environment for addressing hair loss by extending follicles’ growth phase and increasing blood supply to the area.
PRF injections typically cause minimal discomfort due to fine needles and the option for topical anesthetics when needed. Most patients report only mild sensations during treatment, with little to no downtime afterward, allowing them to return to normal activities almost immediately.
PRF utilizes the patient’s blood components, eliminating risks of allergic reactions or rejection commonly associated with synthetic materials. This exceptional biocompatibility allows PRF to integrate seamlessly with the body’s tissues, promoting natural healing processes without introducing foreign substances.
The fibrin matrix in PRF provides a slow, sustained release of growth factors that continues to work long after the initial treatment. These progressive improvements often create results that last significantly longer than other injectable procedures, with many patients enjoying benefits for 12-18 months before maintenance sessions are recommended.
