Bio Fillers - PRF
For those looking for a natural, regenerative treatment to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and rejuvenate their skin, Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) offers an advanced solution. This next-generation technology takes the benefits of PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) to the next level, using a more concentrated form of platelets, fibrin, and white blood cells to boost collagen production and accelerate healing. Dr. V in Raleigh, NC, specializes in PRF injections for areas like under the eyes, providing personalized care and natural-looking results with safety and precision.
What Is PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)?
PRF is a 100% natural treatment derived from your own blood. Similar to PRP, PRF is processed to concentrate the platelets, fibrin, and growth factors. However, PRF contains a higher concentration of white blood cells and a fibrin matrix that releases growth factors more slowly, leading to longer-lasting results.
Where PRP treatments focus on immediate results, PRF works gradually over time, promoting collagen regeneration and skin healing. This makes PRF treatment particularly effective for delicate areas like under the eyes and around the mouth, where volume loss and fine lines tend to appear early.
PRF vs PRP for the Face: What’s the Difference?
While PRP and PRF both use your body’s natural platelets to stimulate collagen production, there are some key differences between the two treatments:
PRF has a higher concentration of platelets and white blood cells, which helps with tissue regeneration and healing.
PRF forms a fibrin matrix that slowly releases growth factors over time, providing longer-lasting benefits.
PRF injections are more versatile and are often used for areas where volume loss and delicate skin are more pronounced, such as under the eyes.
Overall, PRF tends to offer more natural, gradual results, while PRP may deliver faster but shorter-term improvements.
What Can PRF Treatment Do for You?
The benefits of PRF treatment include:
Under-Eye Rejuvenation: One of the most popular uses of PRF injections is to address hollowness, dark circles, and fine lines under the eyes. The gentle, gradual release of growth factors helps smooth and plump this delicate area for a more refreshed look.
Volume Restoration: Like dermal fillers, PRF can restore lost volume in areas like the cheeks, nasolabial folds, and under the eyes without the use of synthetic substances.
Skin Texture Improvement: PRF stimulates collagen production, improving overall skin tone, texture, and elasticity. This can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Natural Healing: Since PRF is derived from your own blood, there’s little to no risk of allergic reactions or adverse effects. The body recognizes its own cells and promotes healing more effectively than with synthetic fillers.
Common Areas for PRF Injections
PRF Under Eyes: One of the most requested areas for PRF treatment, the under-eye region benefits from the natural volumizing and skin-rejuvenating effects of PRF, reducing dark circles, fine lines, and hollowing.
Cheeks and Mid-Face: Restore lost volume and contour in the mid-face area for a more youthful and lifted appearance.
Nasolabial Folds: Soften the deep lines that run from the nose to the mouth with the natural, volumizing effects of PRF.
Fine Lines Around the Mouth: Improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of wrinkles around the mouth.
What to Expect During PRF Treatment
Your PRF treatment begins with a consultation where Dr. V will assess your skin, discuss your goals, and craft a personalized treatment plan. A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm, which is then processed to isolate the Platelet-Rich Fibrin. Once prepared, PRF is injected into the targeted areas using a fine needle.
The procedure is quick, typically taking about 30 minutes, and discomfort is minimal. PRF treatments are non-surgical and require little to no downtime, making them ideal for those with busy schedules.
How Long Do the Results Last?
PRF offers long-lasting benefits due to the slow release of growth factors from the fibrin matrix. While some improvements may be noticeable immediately after treatment, the full effects will develop over several weeks as collagen production increases. Results can last up to 12 months, depending on the individual and the area treated.
