Transform Your Skin
What is a PRF treatment?
A platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) treatment is an advanced, non-surgical procedure that uses your own blood to stimulate collagen production and accelerate skin rejuvenation. Unlike PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), PRF leaves platelets intact in the fibrin matrix, enhancing their effectiveness. This innovative treatment addresses fine lines, wrinkles, skin texture, and volume loss.
The Allure of Revitalization
What is the PRF procedure like?
PRF is typically performed in-office under local anesthesia for your comfort. Dr. Gurley will draw a small amount of your blood, which will then be processed to concentrate the platelets. The PRF is injected into targeted areas or applied after microneedling, laser treatments, or mixed with dermal fillers or fat for more significant volume restoration. The entire procedure is quick, with minimal discomfort and no need for recovery time.

What conditions does PRF address?
PRF is highly effective in treating a variety of skin concerns, including:
- Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Stimulates collagen production to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.
- Volume Loss: Restores natural volume to the face, particularly in the under-eye area, cheeks, and lips, helping to rejuvenate a more youthful contour.
- Uneven Skin Texture and Tone: Improves skin texture and radiance, addressing roughness, dullness, and uneven pigmentation.

- Post-Surgical or Post-Treatment Healing: Enhances recovery and minimizes scarring by accelerating the healing process and stimulating skin regeneration.

- Hair Growth: Provides a natural, non-surgical path to hair regrowth on the scalp.
Elevate Your Skin
What areas of the body can PRF address?
