Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a next-generation regenerative treatment that uses your body’s own blood-derived growth factors to restore youthful skin, stimulate hair growth, and improve overall tissue quality—without the use of synthetic additives or chemicals. At Sullivan Dermatology, we are proud to offer PRF as a natural, highly effective solution for patients seeking skin rejuvenation, under-eye volume restoration, and early intervention for hair loss. This advanced treatment leverages the healing components of your own biology to trigger collagen production, improve circulation, and support long-term tissue renewal. Whether you’re looking to reduce fine lines, brighten tired eyes, or promote thicker hair, PRF offers a safe, biocompatible option with lasting benefits.

Ideal if you Have
PRF is an excellent option if you are seeking improvement in skin texture, tone, or volume loss—without undergoing surgery or using synthetic fillers. It is especially effective for:
- Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and mouth
- Under-eye hollows and dark circles
- Thinning or crepey skin on the face, neck, and décolletage
- Hair thinning or early-stage hair loss (androgenetic alopecia or telogen effluvium)
Patients looking for natural collagen stimulation and skin tightening
Because PRF is derived from your own body, it’s also ideal for patients who prefer chemical-free, biocompatible treatments or have sensitivities to traditional dermal fillers.
How it Works
PRF is created by drawing a small amount of your blood and spinning it in a specialized centrifuge that separates the platelet-rich fibrin matrix from red blood cells. Unlike PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), PRF contains a higher concentration of healing growth factors, white blood cells, and fibrin—without anticoagulants or additives.
The PRF is then injected into targeted areas of the skin or scalp using fine needles or microneedling techniques. Once injected, the growth factors and fibrin matrix stimulate collagen production, improve blood flow, and enhance tissue regeneration over time. The slow release of healing factors ensures a longer-lasting rejuvenation process.
Results Include
Patients treated with PRF can expect gradual but noticeable improvements in skin quality and hair density. Results typically include:
- Firmer, more youthful skin with reduced fine lines
- Smoother texture and improved elasticity
- Brighter, more even skin tone
- Restoration of volume in delicate areas like under the eyes
- Thicker, healthier hair regrowth in treated scalp areas
Because the treatment works by activating your body’s natural regenerative processes, results build over several weeks and continue to improve over time. A series of 2–3 sessions may be recommended for optimal outcomes.
At Sullivan Dermatology, we use the most advanced PRF preparation systems and combine them with expert technique to ensure safe, effective, and natural-looking results. Contact us today to schedule your consultation and learn if Platelet-Rich Fibrin is right for you.

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) – Frequently Asked Questions
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a regenerative, injectable treatment that uses your body’s own healing components to stimulate collagen production, restore tissue quality, and promote hair growth. Unlike synthetic fillers or neurotoxins, PRF is 100% natural—derived from a simple blood draw and processed to concentrate platelets, fibrin, stem cells, and growth factors. It is ideal for patients seeking a biocompatible solution to improve skin texture, under-eye hollowing, and early hair thinning.
PRF works by isolating a fibrin-rich matrix from your blood that is then injected into target areas. This matrix slowly releases growth factors over time, encouraging your body to build new collagen, improve circulation, and regenerate tissue. Unlike Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), PRF contains no additives or anticoagulants and creates a more stable scaffold for long-term rejuvenation.
PRF is effective for treating both the skin and scalp. Common treatment areas include:
· Under-eye hollows and dark circles
· Cheeks and nasolabial folds
· Fine lines around the mouth and eyes
· Décolletage and neck
· Thinning areas of the scalp for hair regrowth
· Acne scars and overall skin texture
Yes. PRF is one of the safest aesthetic treatments available because it uses your own blood, eliminating the risk of allergic reaction or rejection. It is processed without chemicals or synthetic additives and is widely used in dermatology, oral surgery, and orthopedics for its healing and regenerative properties.
Results begin to develop gradually over 3–4 weeks as your body starts producing new collagen and regenerating tissue. Hair restoration results may take 8–12 weeks to become noticeable. Because PRF works with your natural biology, improvement continues over time.
Results can last 6–12 months or longer depending on the area treated and your individual skin health. Most patients undergo a series of 2–3 treatments spaced about a month apart for optimal results, followed by maintenance treatments once or twice a year.
PRF injections are generally well tolerated. The procedure involves a small blood draw and precise injections with a fine needle. A topical anesthetic is available to maximize comfort, especially in sensitive areas like under the eyes or scalp.
Downtime is minimal. You may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, which typically resolves within 24–72 hours. Most patients resume normal activities the same day.
Because PRF is autologous (from your own body), side effects are uncommon and typically mild. These may include temporary swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site. Infection risk is extremely low when performed under sterile technique by a board-certified dermatologist.
PRF stimulates your own collagen production over time, improving tissue quality naturally. Dermal fillers add immediate volume with hyaluronic acid, while neurotoxins like Botox or Letybo relax muscles to smooth dynamic wrinkles. PRF is not a substitute for those treatments but is often combined with them for a more comprehensive rejuvenation plan.
Ideal candidates are healthy adults who want natural, gradual improvement in skin tone, texture, or hair density. PRF is especially suited for patients looking to avoid synthetic materials or who may not be candidates for traditional injectables due to sensitivities or allergies.
We typically recommend a series of 2–3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart for optimal regeneration. Maintenance sessions every 6–12 months can help extend results and support long-term skin and scalp health.
Yes. PRF pairs well with microneedling, laser therapy, and even dermal fillers to enhance results. When used together, these treatments offer a synergistic effect—smoothing skin, restoring volume, and improving overall texture and tone. Your provider will design a customized plan based on your goals.
While both PRF and PRP use your own platelets for healing, PRF is spun at a lower speed, allowing it to retain more stem cells and white blood cells. PRF also forms a fibrin matrix that releases growth factors more slowly over time, providing longer-lasting and more natural results.
PRF is a natural treatment made from your own blood that stimulates collagen and improves skin quality over time. Fillers are synthetic gels (like hyaluronic acid) that add immediate volume to smooth wrinkles and contour the face. PRF works gradually and regeneratively, while fillers offer instant, sculpted results. Many patients benefit from combining both for optimal rejuvenation.
