PRF (PLATELET-RICH FIBRIN)

Transform Your Skin Naturally with Advanced PRF Treatments

At Refreshed M.D. in Portland, OR, we want you to feel confident and comfortable in your skin. PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is a natural, non-invasive procedure promoting youthful appearance. Whether you’re interested in skin rejuvenation, collagen stimulation, or enhanced skin tone, we are here to walk you through the process, ensuring you feel at ease at every step.

What is PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)?

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is your body’s natural supercharger for skin rejuvenation! This safe and effective regenerative treatment uses your blood, rich with growth factors, to stimulate collagen production and promote natural healing. No foreign substances are involved with PRF just your body’s healing power working its magic!

PRF is like a gentle wake-up call for your skin cells, encouraging them to repair and regenerate tissue as they would with a wound. This makes it one of our favorite regenerative treatments at Refreshed M.D. The result? Tighter, smoother skin with enhanced blood flow, giving you that radiant, natural glow .

PRF works wonders for addressing skin texture improvement, under-eye hollowing, discoloration, and dark circles. It is a fabulous alternative to traditional under-eye fillers. PRF also has benefits for stimulating hair follicles, making it an excellent treatment for those concerned with hair loss or thinning, promoting improved skin tone, and more.

Before and Aftercare for PRF Treatment in Portland

Before Your PRF Appointment

  • Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements a week before treatment to avoid bruises unless specifically recommended by your doctor. The biggest culprits for bruising are Aspirin, NSAIDs, ginkgo biloba, Cod Liver Oil, Vitamins A and E, and Fish Oil.
  • Avoid Retinol and exfoliating acids for three days before and after your treatment to reduce the chance of irritation.
  • Hydrate! Stay hydrated and avoid caffeine and alcohol two days before your appointment.
  • Before your appointment, eat a meal or snack to prepare for your blood draw.

After Your PRF Appointment

  • Do not lie down for four hours post-injection.
  • You may cleanse your face normally; do not massage or pick at the treated area.
  • Take it easy at the gym post-treatment. Avoid strenuous activity for 24-48 hours.
  • Saunas, steam rooms, and hot tubs should be avoided for three days post-procedure.
  • Tylenol or acetaminophen is okay to take for discomfort. A gentle, cool compress (not ice) for 15 minutes each hour can also reduce swelling or pain.
  • Avoid aspirin for 2 weeks post-procedure unless medically prescribed by your doctor’s office.

PRF Frequently Asked Questions

How long do PRF results last?

PRF results typically last 6 months to a year, depending on your skin’s needs and how your body responds to collagen stimulation. Maintaining the results can help extend the results, providing ongoing skin rejuvenation.

PRF is generally well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort. You may feel a slight pinch or pressure during the injection process, but the procedure is quick, and any discomfort is temporary.

Bruising, swelling, and mild redness are common side effects, but they usually disappear within a few hours to a day. A PRF procedure is safe and minimally invasive, with minimal risk of side effects.

PRF can be used in conjunction with Botox® for complete facial rejuvenation. Our expert staff at Refreshed M.D. will help you plan a personalized care treatment that fits your goals.
