What is PRF?
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) isn’t a traditional drug. It’s a formula of components from your blood that help your body heal and rejuvenate naturally. Specifically, it contains two essential parts:
Blood plasma
Blood plasma is the yellowish liquid that carries your red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets through your veins and arteries. It consists of water and various proteins.
Platelets
Platelets are a type of cell in your blood that, when activated, help rebuild your tissues after an injury. They clot together and release growth factors to kick off the healing process.
How Do PRF Injections Differ from Traditional PRP Injections?
While both PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRF involve utilizing components from your blood for therapeutic purposes, PRF is a more advanced version. PRF contains a higher concentration of platelets, fibrin, and growth factors, which allows for longer-lasting effects and improved tissue regeneration.
What Are the Benefits of PRF Injections?
PRF injections offer a range of benefits, including improved skin texture and tone, reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, enhanced skin elasticity, and minimized scarring. PRF’s natural components stimulate collagen production and cell growth, resulting in a more youthful and radiant complexion.
What Areas Can be Treated with PRF Injections?
PRF injections are versatile and can be used to treat various areas, including the face, neck, décolletage, hands, and even hairline. They are particularly effective for addressing crow’s feet, smile lines, acne scars, and areas with lost volume.
What is the Procedure Like?
The PRF injection procedure involves a few simple steps: a small amount of blood is drawn from your arm, spun in a centrifuge to separate the PRF, and then the PRF is carefully injected into the targeted areas. The procedure is minimally invasive and usually takes about an hour, making it convenient for those with busy schedules.
Is There Any Downtime After PRF Injections?
One of the advantages of PRF injections is that there is minimal to no downtime. You may experience some redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, but these effects are generally mild and short-lived. Many individuals are able to resume their regular activities immediately after the procedure.
How Soon Will I See Results?
Results from PRF injections become noticeable over time as collagen production is stimulated and skin rejuvenation occurs. Typically, improvements become more apparent a few weeks after the treatment, with optimal results often seen after a series of sessions.
How Many Sessions Are Recommended?
The number of sessions required varies depending on individual goals and the condition of the skin. A series of treatments, often spaced several weeks apart, is usually recommended for optimal and longer-lasting results.
Are There Any Contraindications for PRF Injections?
PRF injections may not be recommended for individuals with certain medical conditions, such as bleeding disorders or active infections. It’s crucial to discuss your medical history with your healthcare provider to determine if PRF injections are suitable for you.
How Long Do the Results of PRF Injections Last?
Results can vary depending on factors like individual response, lifestyle, and maintenance. Generally, results from PRF injections can last several months to over a year. Periodic touch-up sessions are often recommended to maintain the benefits.
Who is an Ideal Candidate for PRF Injections?
Individuals seeking non-surgical and natural methods of skin rejuvenation, wrinkle reduction, scar improvement, and overall aesthetic enhancement are potential candidates for PRF injections. A consultation with a qualified practitioner will help determine your suitability for the treatment.

What Can PRF Treat?
The team at Amélie is excited to offer many enhancements using PRF to promote cell regeneration and youthfulness. Your options include:
PRF Under Eyes
PRF is our favorite treatment for under-eye concerns! PRF helps reduce dark pigmentation, improve texture, smooth fine lines and, over time, restore lost volume! We recommend 3 initial rounds of PRF injections and maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months moving forward.
PRF Facelift +
By combining dermal fillers with PRF, you can boost your skin’s natural collagen production for long-lasting, natural facial enhancements.
PRF Facial
Often mistaken for a PRF facelift, a PRF facial is a microneedling treatment with an infusion of PRF. It boosts collagen and elastin growth in your skin to make it firmer, smoother, and tighter.
V-Shot
The V-Shot is an injection of PRF for your feminine functioning. The shot revitalizes the tissues in your vagina and clitoris to improve sexual response and treat urinary incontinence.
What are the benefits of using PRF for my treatment?
PRF provides a number of benefits compared to various medications and treatments with similar intentions. The main advantage of using PRF, besides its ability to stimulate cell regeneration, is its lack of side effects. Since the substance comes from your own body, you have little to no chance of rejecting it or experiencing an adverse reaction.
