PRF injections are on the cutting edge of aesthetics. These treatments use your body’s very own regenerative properties to reduce your signs of aging and provide you with a completely refreshed and rejuvenated complexion. While a popular treatment, there still can be some confusion about what PRF is and how often you should receive treatments. Let’s talk a little further about the specifics of PRF, so you know exactly what you can expect.
What Are PRF Injections?
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) injections are an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that uses the body’s natural regenerative properties to refresh the skin and reduce mild signs of aging. PRF is extracted from the blood similarly to platelet-rich plasma (PRP). In both treatments, a small sample of blood is drawn from your arm, similar to the way your blood is drawn for a blood test. That blood is then placed into a centrifuge system where the PRF is separated from the rest of the blood’s fluids.
PRP and PRF are very similar in their regenerative properties. Some find that PRF releases platelets at a slower rate than PRP, and others find that PRP has more stem cells than PRF. When it comes to choosing which treatment is best for you, it’s important you talk to your aesthetician. They’ll be able to tell you which treatment offers unique benefits for your specific skin concerns.
How Often Should I Get PRF or PRP Injections?
When first beginning PRF treatments, it’s important you receive one treatment per month for the first 3 months. This is because PRF must build up over a period of time to rebuild collagen and provide you with your desired results. Following your initial series of treatments, it’s often recommended you receive regular maintenance treatments about once every 4 to 6 months – similar to the schedule for Botox®.
The number of treatments you’ll need to achieve your desired results is going to be unique to you. For that reason, we recommend consulting with your aesthetic provider before booking your initial appointments.
What Can PRF Injections Treat?
PRF treatments are popular for a reason – they offer a wide range of benefits to patients who are looking to hit refresh on their complexion. Common concerns PRF injections can treat include:
- Mildly loose or sagging skin
- Nasolabial folds or laugh lines
- Thin or crepey skin
- Frown lines between the brows
- Fine lines across the forehead
- Lipstick lines or vertical lip lines
- Dark circles under the eyes
- Certain types of acne
