Advanced Regenerative Skin & Hair Treatment

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is an advanced regenerative treatment that uses your body’s own natural healing components to improve skin quality, stimulate collagen and support tissue repair.

 

Often considered the next evolution of PRP, PRF is processed using a slower, additive-free protocol. This allows for a higher concentration of platelets, white blood cells and fibrin, resulting in a more sustained release of growth factors and longer-lasting regenerative effects.

 

Our approach focuses on accurate diagnosis, evidence-based treatment planning and long-term scalp health.

What Can PRF Treat?

PRF is particularly suited to patients seeking natural, subtle improvement in skin quality and regeneration.

It may be used to address:

  • Under-eye hollowing and crepey skin

  • Fine lines and early signs of ageing

  • Skin texture, tone and radiance

  • Acne scarring and uneven skin tone

  • Hair thinning and early hair loss

PRF is ideal for patients who prefer regenerative, natural treatments rather than volume-based approaches.

How PRF Works

A small sample of your blood is taken and processed to isolate platelet-rich fibrin. This is then carefully injected into targeted areas.

 

PRF works by:

  • Stimulating collagen and elastin production

  • Improving microcirculation

  • Supporting cellular repair and tissue regeneration

  • Enhancing overall skin quality over time

 

Results develop gradually, with continued improvement seen over several weeks to months.

PRF vs PRP

Both PRF and PRP use your body’s own platelets, but PRF offers several key advantages:

  • No anticoagulants or additives

  • Higher concentration of regenerative cells

  • Slower, sustained release of growth factors

  • Particularly suited to delicate areas such as the under-eye.

 

 

PRF is often chosen where a more natural, progressive result is desired.

Treatment Duration & Downtime

For optimal results, PRF is typically performed as a course of treatments:

  • Face / under-eye: 2–3 sessions

  • Hair restoration: 3–6 sessions

PRF can also be combined with other regenerative treatments, such as medical microneedling or PRP, as part of a personalised treatment plan.
