What is PRF?

PRF gel is an autologous bio-stimulating filler, meaning its rejuvenating properties stem from your own body. To prepare PRF we  draws your blood and separates its components through centrifugation. This process extracts and isolates PRP (platelet rich plamsa) the platelets, growth factors, and stem cells and combines with an albumin matrix from the same blood sample to create PRP gel filler.

How Does PRF Work?

PRF combines your body’s own platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) with albumin to create a natural filler that may be safer and more versatile than most injectables because it uses your body’s own blood components. PRF provides an innovative, flexible consistency that allows the gel to adapt to the various treatment areas, including:

• Best filler for undereye circles o hollows

• Sunken cheeks

• Fine lines and deep wrinkles

• Enlarged pores

• Chin and jawline contouring

• Lip augmentation

The treatment smooths lines and wrinkles, restores volume, and creates a scaffolding that promotes collagen and elastin generation for smoother, younger-looking skin.

Does PRF Hurt?

Dr. Rowe understands that pain and discomfort may deter patients from seeking desired cosmetic treatments. Fortunately, nerve blocking, a procedure that prevents pain signals from reaching the brain, allows patients to experience the transformative benefits of cosmetic procedures without discomfort. With over 25 years of experience injecting and expertise in nerve blocking, Dr. Rowe can perform procedures at a leisurely pace for natural-looking results.

How Is PRF Different From Other Injectables?

PRF Gel is unique in its versatility. While neuromodulators like Botox® Cosmetic and Daxxify® target dynamic wrinkles in expressive areas of the face, most dermal fillers (e.g., Juvederm® and Restylane®) restore lost volume. Biostimulators like Radiesse® and Sculptra® stimulate collagen and can boost volume, but they contain synthetic materials.

PRF does both. It instantly restores lost volume and encourages new collagen — without a single unnatural ingredient. Everything in PRF Gel comes from you. It is the preferred filler for undereye dark circles or hollows.

Benefits of PRF

• 100% natural injectable

• Does cause blueing undereyes like HA filler

• Improves blood flow and tissue regeneration

• Increases collagen and elastin production

• Reduces signs of aging

• Continues improvement over several weeks to months after one treatment

• Minimal to no pain or downtime

• Non-surgical procedure

• Long-lasting results

• Lower risk of allergic reactions

What to Expect During PRF Injections

PRF Gel is a three-step process that includes the following:

Step 1: Our medical assistant collects a blood sample and places it in a centrifuge to separate its plasma, platelet, and fibrin components.

Step 2: The centrifuge spins the blood to isolate the PRF, which undergoes controlled heating and cooling to create a gel filler rich with growth factors, leukocytes, and mesenchymal stem cells.

Step 3: During this time, Dr. Rowe provides numbing medication to minimize discomfort. Once the PRF solution is ready, he uses a fine needle to inject the PRF into treatment areas.

The entire procedure usually takes around 45 minutes, depending on the injection location. For optimal results 2-5 treatments spaced a minimum of 4-6 weeks apart may be necessary, depending on your skin condition and aesthetic goals.

When Will I See Results After PRF Injections?

The plasma gel provides immediate volumizing effects maintained for 3–6 months. The long-term effects of growth factors and collagen production produce continued results for the next 2-6 months, depending on your lifestyle, metabolism, activity level, and other factors.

Is PRF Gel Safe?

PRF gel is a safe and effective procedure when performed by a qualified and experienced provider. Autologous treatments like  PRF are less likely to cause allergic reactions than synthetic injectables, as they use your body’s own materials.
