PRP/prf FILLER
PRP filler (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRF Filler (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is a regenerative skin treatment using the body’s own platelets and growth factors to promote collagen production. Unlike traditional fillers, PRP and PRF offer a natural approach to reducing wrinkles, treating under-eye circles, and enhancing skin texture.
What is PRP?
Platelet-Rich Plasma is a component of your own blood that contains a concentrated level of platelets and growth factors. When injected or micro-channeled into the skin, PRP supports collagen production, tissue regeneration, and improved texture for a gradual, natural rejuvenation.
What is PRF?
Platelet-Rich Fibrin is created by spinning your blood at a lower speed to preserve more leukocytes and stem cells while forming a fibrin matrix. This gel-like matrix allows a slower, sustained release of growth factors, which can extend the rejuvenating effect and support delicate areas like under eyes and lips.
What is the difference between PRP and PRF?
Both come from your own blood and stimulate collagen and repair. The key difference is the fibrin matrix in PRF, which delivers growth factors over a longer period. PRF may offer a thicker, more stable product with potential for longer-lasting results compared to traditional PRP.
How it is done
We perform a quick blood draw, then process the tube in a specialized centrifuge. The PRP or PRF layer is collected and placed with precision into targeted areas using fine needles or micro-needling techniques to support volume, texture, and overall skin quality.
What to expect
Temporary redness, swelling, or mild bruising can occur and typically resolves in a few days. Results develop gradually over several weeks as collagen remodels. Many clients choose a series of treatments for a stronger, layered effect.
How to prepare
- Hydrate well for 24 hours before your visit to support an easy blood draw.
- Avoid alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E, and herbal blood thinners for 3 to 5 days, unless prescribed by your clinician.
- Arrive with clean skin and no makeup on treatment areas.
- Cold sores: tell us if you have a history of oral cold sores so we can start an antiviral prior to your procedure.
Will it hurt?
We use topical numbing to help ease discomfort. Most clients describe a tolerable pressure or pinch during treatment and feel comfortable throughout the session.
Is it safe?
PRP and PRF are autologous, which means they come from your own blood. This significantly reduces the risk of allergy or rejection. At SELF Aesthetics & Wellness we follow sterile technique and evidence-based protocols to support safety and consistent outcomes.
