Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)

Revitalize Naturally with Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) at the Laser Institute of Pinehurst


Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is an advanced regenerative treatment that uses the body’s own healing properties to restore and rejuvenate the skin naturally. PRF is created by drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood, which is then spun in a centrifuge to separate out a dense concentration of platelets, white blood cells, and fibrin. This nutrient-rich matrix is rich in growth factors, which promote collagen production, tissue repair, and skin rejuvenation when injected into targeted areas. Ideal for reducing fine lines, enhancing skin texture, improving under-eye hollows, and even stimulating hair growth, PRF offers a natural, minimally invasive solution for a refreshed, youthful appearance without the need for synthetic fillers or extensive downtime.

How Does Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) Work?

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) works by harnesses the body’s natural healing properties to stimulate tissue regeneration and collagen production. During a PRF treatment, a small amount of the patient's blood is drawn and then spun in a centrifuge at a lower speed, allowing the blood's platelets, white blood cells, and fibrin to concentrate without additives. This creates a dense, nutrient-rich matrix that contains growth factors essential for healing and rejuvenation. Once injected or applied to targeted areas, PRF releases these growth factors slowly over time, encouraging cellular regeneration, collagen synthesis, and tissue repair for long-lasting, natural improvements in skin texture, tone, and volume.

What To Expect at Your Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) Appointment

Your Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) appointment will start with a simple blood draw. A small amount of your blood is collected and then spun in a centrifuge to separate the PRF from other components, creating a concentrated matrix rich in growth factors. The PRF is then carefully injected or applied to targeted areas, such as under the eyes, cheeks, or scalp, depending on your treatment goals.

The procedure typically takes 30–45 minutes with minimal discomfort, and you may experience mild redness or swelling afterward, which usually subsides within a few hours. Since PRF uses your body’s natural growth factors, there’s little risk of adverse reactions, and you can gradually expect to see smoother skin, improved volume, or increased hair growth over the following weeks as collagen production is stimulated.

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) Maintenance Recommendations

A maintenance schedule is recommended for long-lasting results with Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) treatments. Initially, we suggest a series of three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart to maximize collagen production and tissue regeneration.

After the initial series, maintenance sessions every 6 to 12 months are generally advised to sustain the rejuvenating effects. Following a healthy skincare routine, staying hydrated, and protecting your skin from the sun will further enhance results. 

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) FAQs

PRF is a natural, regenerative treatment that uses your own blood to stimulate collagen production, tissue repair, and skin rejuvenation, offering a more youthful appearance without synthetic fillers.

PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is a newer generation of PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) that contains a higher concentration of platelets, white blood cells, and fibrin without any additives, which allows for slower, sustained release of growth factors.

PRF can treat various areas, including under-eye hollows, cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, scalp (for hair restoration), and acne scars to improve skin tone, texture, and volume.

An initial series of three treatments, spaced four to six weeks apart, is recommended for best results. Maintenance sessions are typically scheduled every 6 to 12 months.
