What is PRF or PRF Gel?
Platelet rich fibrin (PRF) is the plasma component derived from a patient’s whole blood sample that contains platelets, stem cells, growth factors, and other components of the cellular clotting/healing cascade. It is all-natural and has no additives or anticoagulants.
PRF Gel consists of the same PRF regenerative properties, but adds an albumin gel component to make it an all-natural alternative to filler. The albumin component also extends cellular activation from 5-7 days with regular PRF, to 4-5 months with PRF Gel.
Why is PRF used?
In esthetic applications it is used to stimulate the body’s own healing and regenerative processes to grow collagen and improve skin integrity, or stimulate hair growth.
In areas where volume restoration is also desired PRF Gel is the best option., ex: tear troughs.

At our spas in Utah, PRF is injected intradermally for tissue regeneration and collagen stimulation, or into the scalp for hair restoration.

Most clients will have swelling for 3-4 days, and bruising is common around the eyes. Instruct clients to avoid icing the area or using NSAIDs. We are purposely stimulating the inflammatory response and do not want to suppress it if possible. Advise clients to take Tylenol if needed for pain/headache. We recommend sleeping slightly elevated to manage swelling.
