What Is a PRF Treatment?
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is a natural skin regeneration technique that uses a small sample of your own blood, processed without additives. Through a special centrifugation process, a fibrin-rich plasma is obtained that contains platelets, white blood cells, and growth factors. The fibrin forms a delicate matrix within the skin, serving as a natural scaffold for regeneration and gradually releasing bioactive substances over several days.
How It Works and How It Differs from PRP
While PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) remains liquid, PRF forms a soft gel-like structure due to its fibrin content. This allows growth factors to act more evenly and over a longer period, creating a lasting effect on collagen production, circulation, and skin firmness.
Key Differences:
- Especially suitable for sensitive skin and the eye area
- No anticoagulants or activators are used in PRF preparation
- The effects last longer than with PRP
- The denser consistency allows for more precise application
Despite its slightly gel-like texture, PRF is not a volumizing filler — claims to the contrary on social media are medically incorrect. PRF stimulates regeneration, but it does not replace fillers.ehandlung.
Who Is a Good Candidate for PRF?
Natural Regeneration and Subtle Skin Tightening
The PRF treatment is suitable for nearly all skin types and is especially recommended for:
- Fine lines, loss of elasticity, or tired-looking skin
- Dark circles and under-eye shadows
- Thin, sensitive, or mature skin
- A desire for natural rejuvenation without foreign substances
PRF is not performed in cases of active skin infections, blood clotting disorders, or during pregnancy and breastfeeding, as aesthetic treatments are generally avoided during these phases for safety reasons.
PRF Treatment for Hair Loss
The PRF treatment for the scalp follows a similar principle to PRP for hair loss, utilizing the body’s own regenerative power with a few key differences:
- Slower release of growth factors: The fibrin network allows PRF to act longer within the tissue, stimulating hair follicles over several days.
- No anticoagulants added: The blood remains completely natural, improving overall biocompatibility.
- Denser consistency: PRF is injected slightly deeper than PRP and stays at the injection site for an extended period.
The PRF hair treatment can enhance scalp circulation, supporting healthier and stronger hair growth. In my practice, it is offered under a dedicated treatment protocol, separate from the facial PRF procedure, as the injection technique, dosage, and treatment frequency differ.
Combination with Other Treatments
PRF therapy can be effectively combined with other aesthetic procedures to further enhance regeneration:
- Microneedling: improves skin absorption
- Skinboosters or polynucleotides: increase hydration and radiance
- Laser treatments or chemical peels: PRF supports healing and reduces downtime
- Botulinum toxin or fillers: complement treatment for expression lines or volume restoration
These combinations allow for a personalized and individually optimized treatment plan.
My Approach to PRF Treatment: Natural Skin Rejuvenation Without Chemical Additives
I have been offering autologous blood therapy in Munich for many years—long before it became widely used in aesthetic medicine. From the beginning, I was convinced by its combination of medical logic and natural regeneration.
I integrated the PRF method into my practice about three years ago, once it was scientifically validated. Its biological mode of action, entirely free from additives, fully aligns with my approach.
PRF embodies the core of my practice philosophy, “Timeless Beauty at Every Age” — favoring natural regeneration over artificial intervention. I also use PRF regularly myself, often in combination with microneedling, to keep the skin healthy, smooth, and resilient.
To me, PRF represents one of the most effective advances in minimally invasive aesthetics: gentle, safe, and supported by science.
Treatment Procedure
The PRF treatment is a straightforward procedure that uses no foreign substances. After a medical consultation and review of possible contraindications, only minimal preparation is required. The treatment is performed on an outpatient basis and involves virtually no downtime.
- Blood draw – About 10–15 ml of your own blood is taken from a vein in the arm.
- Processing – The sample is centrifuged to separate the PRF plasma from the other blood components.
- Skin preparation – The face is thoroughly cleansed and, if desired, treated with a numbing cream.
- Injection or microneedling – The processed PRF is precisely injected into the skin using fine needles.
- Aftercare – The skin may appear slightly red or swollen afterward. Cooling and avoiding makeup for about 24 hours help promote quick recovery.
The entire session takes around 30–45 minutes (excluding consultation and numbing time). After PRF injections, the skin typically returns to normal within a few hours, with no real downtime. When combining PRF with microneedling, expect more noticeable redness that can persist for 2–3 days.
When Will I See Results – and How Long Do They Last?
Visible Results
After a PRF treatment, the first improvements usually appear within two to four weeks. The skin looks smoother, firmer, and more hydrated. Because the growth factors are released gradually over several days, the results continue to improve over the following weeks.
Long-Lasting Effect
After a PRF treatment, the first improvements usually become visible within two to four weeks. The skin appears more even, firmer, and better hydrated. Because the growth factors are released over several days, the effect continues to build gradually over the following weeks.
Risks and Possible Side Effects
Because PRF contains only the body’s own components, side effects are rare. Temporary reactions may include:
- Redness or mild swelling, especially when combined with microneedling
- Small bruises at the injection sites
- Tenderness in the treated area for 1–2 days
Serious complications are extremely uncommon, as no foreign substances or chemical additives are used. The treatment is considered natural, safe, and well-tolerated, supporting optimal skin regeneration. Since no external materials are introduced, PRF is also suitable for sensitive skin types.
