A natural, evidence based approach to supporting skin quality
PRF, also known as Platelet Rich Fibrin, is a natural treatment used to support healthy skin regeneration and improve overall skin vitality. At That Face Place on the Gold Coast, PRF is performed by trained Registered Nurses using techniques designed to enhance skin texture, luminosity and tone without synthetic additives.
This blog breaks down how PRF works, what it is used for, what to expect and why many people choose it as part of their long term skin journey.
What is PRF
Platelet Rich Fibrin is created from your own blood using a gentle centrifuging method that allows the natural fibrin matrix to remain intact. This fibrin network traps platelets, white blood cells and growth factors that gradually release over time, supporting the skin’s natural restoration processes.
Because PRF contains no anticoagulants or additives, it is considered a more natural, slower releasing option when compared to similar regenerative treatments.
Why people choose PRF
PRF is widely used in skin clinics for its ability to support collagen production and improve overall skin quality. It is often chosen by those wanting a natural option that works in harmony with the skin’s own biology.
PRF can help improve:
- Skin texture
- Luminosity
- Fine lines and creping
- Under eye quality
- Overall skin health and firmness
It can be applied using needling techniques, injected in a targeted way or used alongside other skin treatments.
PRF vs PRP
While both PRF and PRP are created from your own blood, they differ in their preparation and release behaviour.
- PRF clots naturally and forms a fibrin matrix that slowly releases platelets and growth factors over time.
- PRP is spun at higher speeds and contains anticoagulants, resulting in a faster release.
Many people choose PRF for its slow release behaviour and natural composition, as it can provide sustained support to the skin.
What to expect during a PRF treatment
Your appointment begins with a consultation to assess your skin and determine the most suitable treatment plan. A small blood sample is collected and placed into a specialised centrifuge to separate the PRF.
Once prepared, the PRF can be used in a few different ways depending on the targeted area and desired outcome. Your nurse will explain each step, the purpose behind it and what your skin can expect afterwards.
Most people experience minimal downtime, with possible mild redness or swelling that typically settles within a short period.
How many PRF sessions are recommended
For best results, PRF is often performed as a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart. The gradual release of growth factors means improvements continue to develop over time. Your nurse will recommend a plan based on your skin goals and starting point.
Is PRF suitable for everyone
PRF is a widely used treatment, but suitability depends on individual factors including medical history, skin concerns and overall treatment goals. A consultation ensures PRF is the right choice and allows your nurse to tailor the approach for safe, effective results.
