PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) Treatment
Why it matters.
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) uses your body’s own growth factors and fibrin matrix to naturally stimulate collagen, tissue repair, and skin rejuvenation. Since PRF is injected or applied to the skin, tiny entry points temporarily compromise the skin barrier. Following aftercare is essential to protect these sites, reduce downtime, and support the best possible healing and results.
Care Guidelines.
Avoid touching, rubbing, or applying makeup for at least 12 hours.
Use a gentle, non-active cleanser and avoid harsh skincare products for 3–5 days.
Keep skin well-hydrated with a simple, soothing moisturiser.
Apply a broad-spectrum SPF daily, as the skin will be more sensitive to UV damage.
Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, steam rooms, and alcohol for 24–48 hours.
In-Clinic Support.
Book a follow-up review at 2 weeks to assess healing and track progress.
If bruising is a concern, we recommend using a topical cream to help minimise appearance, please reach out to the clinic for our recommendation.
LED Light Therapy is highly recommended either directly after treatment or within 24–48 hours, and ideally 3 times in the first week, to reduce inflammation, support skin repair, and enhance results.
Work with your practitioner on a tailored skin treatment plan to maintain skin health and enhance the regenerative effects of PRF.
Concerns.
Mild swelling, redness, and bruising are expected and should subside within a few days. However, if you notice severe pain, excessive swelling, spreading redness, signs of infection (such as warmth, pus, or fever), or anything that feels unusual or worsening, contact your clinic immediately. Your safety is always the priority, so don’t hesitate to reach out with any concerns.
What to expect.
It’s normal to experience mild swelling, redness, and tenderness for 24–48 hours. Bruising may occur, as PRF injections involve multiple entry points beneath the skin. The treatment works gradually, so results develop over weeks as new collagen and tissue regeneration occur. You may also notice some tightness or mild skin sensitivity in the treated area.
Day 1–2: Gentle cleanse (am/pm), hydrating moisturiser, SPF in the morning.
Day 3–4: Continue gentle routine; avoid exfoliants, AHAs, BHAs, retinols, and actives.
Day 5–7: Slowly reintroduce active ingredients if no irritation is present.
Day 7-Ongoing: Resume full skincare routine, including targeted serums or treatments, as tolerated.
Incorporating Skincare.
PRF works gradually, stimulating natural regeneration over weeks. Multiple sessions are usually required for optimal outcomes, and maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain results. Pairing with an ongoing skin health program will further improve longevity.
