PRF Treatment is a natural, regenerative option designed to support skin and hair health using your body’s own biological resources. At That Face Place, PRF Treatment is offered as an evidence-based approach for clients seeking subtle, gradual improvements in skin quality, under-eye appearance, and scalp health.
PRF, short for Platelet-Rich Fibrin, is derived from a small sample of your own blood. It contains platelets, growth factors, white blood cells, and fibrin, all working together to support tissue repair and regeneration. Because PRF is completely autologous, meaning it comes from your own body, it is widely chosen by clients who prefer natural treatments without synthetic additives.
PRF Treatment is minimally invasive and can be used on the face, under the eyes, scalp, and other areas where skin quality or hair density is a concern. Results develop gradually over time as your body responds to the growth factors released within the treated area.
PRF Treatment involves collecting a small sample of your blood and processing it using a specialised low-speed centrifuge. This method separates and concentrates platelets, growth factors, and white blood cells within a fibrin matrix.
Unlike older platelet-based therapies, PRF forms a soft, gel-like structure. This fibrin matrix acts as a scaffold, allowing growth factors to be released slowly rather than all at once. This gradual release is what makes PRF Treatment particularly suited to delicate areas such as the under-eye region and areas requiring longer-term tissue support.
Once prepared, PRF is carefully administered into the skin or scalp using fine injections or a cannula, depending on the treatment area and individual needs. Because the material is derived from your own blood, it integrates naturally with surrounding tissue.
PRF Treatment works by supporting your body’s natural repair mechanisms. Platelets and growth factors play a key role in tissue regeneration, collagen production, and healing processes.
When PRF is introduced into the skin, it helps to:
Support collagen and elastin production
Improve hydration and skin quality
Encourage cellular renewal
Strengthen fragile or thinning skin
Improve overall skin texture and tone over time
Because PRF Treatment relies on biological processes rather than immediate volume or cosmetic masking, results develop gradually. This makes it well suited to clients who prefer natural-looking outcomes that improve progressively rather than instantly.
The under-eye area is one of the most popular treatment zones for PRF Treatment. This area has thinner skin, fewer oil glands, and is often the first place to show signs of fatigue, ageing, and volume loss.
PRF Treatment under the eyes may help to:
Because PRF contains no additives or anticoagulants, it is often chosen for delicate areas where a gentle, regenerative approach is preferred. A cannula is commonly used for under-eye treatments to minimise trauma and reduce the risk of bruising.
Results develop over several weeks as collagen production increases and skin quality improves.
PRF Treatment can be used across the face to support skin health and quality. Rather than targeting one specific line or wrinkle, PRF works holistically to improve the skin environment.
Clients often choose PRF Treatment to address concerns such as:
By improving the skin’s underlying structure, PRF Treatment can enhance the way skin looks and behaves over time. Many clients describe their skin as appearing healthier, more hydrated, and more resilient following treatment.
PRF Treatment is also used to support scalp health and the appearance of hair density. When introduced into the scalp, PRF delivers growth factors directly to the hair follicle environment.
PRF Treatment for the scalp may help to:
PRF is commonly chosen by clients experiencing early hair thinning or those seeking a natural adjunct to other hair support treatments. As with skin treatments, results develop gradually over several months.
PRF is a minimally invasive procedure. A small sample of your blood is drawn and processed to concentrate platelets and fibrin. This is then applied to the skin via injections or a cannula (often used in delicate areas like under the eyes).
Because PRF releases growth factors gradually, you’ll see continued improvements over the weeks following treatment. Most clients describe it as comfortable with only mild bruising or swelling in some areas.
PRF Treatment is often described as the next generation of PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma. While both treatments use your own blood, there are key differences.
PRF Treatment:
PRP Treatment, by comparison, releases growth factors more quickly and relies on anticoagulants during processing. The slow-release nature of PRF is what makes it particularly effective for areas requiring sustained tissue support.
For most clients, 2–3 initial treatments are recommended, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. This allows your skin or scalp to respond and regenerate between sessions, providing the best overall results. After completing the initial course, maintenance treatments once or twice a year are usually suggested to sustain and enhance the results.
PRF is a minimally invasive treatment, so downtime is usually minimal. Most clients can resume normal activities immediately, though delicate areas like under the eyes may take a few days to settle.
You might notice:
Mild swelling or redness at the treatment site
Slight bruising, particularly in sensitive areas
These effects are temporary and typically resolve within a few days.
PRF works gradually by stimulating your body’s natural healing processes. You may notice subtle improvements within 2–4 weeks, with full results around 8–12 weeks. Results can last 12–18 months, depending on your skin, lifestyle, and area treated. Maintenance sessions once or twice a year are recommended for long-term benefits.
Absolutely! PRF pairs beautifully with skin needling, laser treatments, and injectables to enhance your results.
PRF Treatment offers a natural, evidence-based approach to skin and hair rejuvenation. By harnessing your body’s own regenerative capabilities, PRF supports gradual, long-lasting improvements in skin quality and scalp health.
At That Face Place, PRF Treatment is delivered by experienced registered nurses in a clinical, supportive environment. Each treatment plan is tailored to your skin, your goals, and your long-term skin health.
