Prf Platelet Rich Fibrin in Magnolia, WA
Many people want to rejuvenate the skin on their face for a more youthful look, but are intimidated by the idea of invasive procedures or synthetic injectable fillers.
PRF utilizes your body’s natural healing compounds to smooth imperfections and improve complexion.
PRF, or platelet-rich fibrin, is the next generation treatment of platelet concentrate. PRF is a fibrin matrix composed of platelet cytokines, growth factors and cells used to help promote skin rejuvenation and wound healing.
How Do We Use PRF EZGEL at Lux Aesthetics?:
The prepared PRF is immediately ready for injection into the face to fill facial folds and wrinkles, to plump the hollows under the eyes and dark circles, and to improve skin tone and texture when used in addition to SkinPen Microneedling or Morpheus8.
Who Is A Candidate For PRF EZGEL:
PRF is extracted from the patient’s own blood – making the treatment 100% natural and extremely safe. There is no risk of allergic reaction and very little risk of infection or other complications.
PRF EZGEL treatment can be a great solution for you if you’re in generally good health and have a desire to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone and texture, skin laxity, and other common cosmetic concerns associated with the aging process. We’ll go over all the details of PRF EZGEL at your consultation and help you determine if it’s the right treatment to meet your aesthetic goals.
Who Is NOT A Candidate For PRF EZGEL?
You should not get PRF treatments if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, if you have low platelets, if you have an active infection in the treatment area, certain skin diseases, cancer, or any blood or bleeding disorders. Patients on blood thinning medications or who have certain autoimmune disorders are not good candidates for PRF treatments.
Preparing For PRF:
Precare:
Avoid taking any anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen, aspirin or naproxen for at least seven days prior to the procedure. These medications can thin the blood and increase the risk of bleeding and bruising during the injection process.
Avoid consuming alcohol for at least 24 hours prior to the injection. Alcohol can cause dehydration, which can lead to increased pain and discomfort during and after the procedure.
Avoid engaging in physical activity that could cause strain or stress on the area that will be injected with PRF. This includes strenuous exercise or activities such as running or lifting heavy weights.
Postcare:
You may experience bruising, redness, itching, swelling, and/or soreness that may last from 2-5 days following your treatment. It is normal to feel a tingling sensation while the cells are being activated.
Ice or cold compresses can be gently applied to reduce swelling if required.
You should avoid NSAIDS such as aspirin, Advil, Motrin, Ibuprofen, Naproxen, and other anti-inflammatory medications for 3 days after your procedure.
You should try to avoid alcohol, caffeine, and smoking for 3 days after treatment as well.
Avoid blood thinning supplements including Ginko, Fish oil, etc.
Avoid vigorous exercise, sun, and heat exposure for at least 2 days after your treatment.
Continue increased water intake the first week after your treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
At Lux Aesthetics, we offer Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)—the most advanced natural rejuvenation treatment available. PRF is derived from your own blood and processed without any additives, unlike Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), which uses anticoagulants like citrate. PRF contains a fibrin matrix that holds growth factors in the injected area for an extended period (10-12 days), ensuring optimal collagen production and tissue regeneration. It is what we believe makes PRF more effective and longer-lasting than PRP.
While both treatments utilize your body’s platelets to stimulate healing and collagen production, PRF offers distinct advantages:
- Additive-Free Processing: PRF is 100% natural, processed without anticoagulants or additives like citrate, resulting in a purer treatment.
- Fibrin Matrix Formation: PRF forms a fibrin matrix that traps growth factors and platelets at the treatment site, allowing for a sustained release of growth factors over 10-12 days. PRP releases all growth factors immediately, limiting its effectiveness.
- Higher Platelet Concentration: PRF contains a higher concentration of platelets, white blood cells, and mesenchymal stem cells, which enhance tissue regeneration and healing.
- Lower Centrifugation Speed: PRF is processed at a lower centrifugation speed compared to PRP, preserving more platelets and beneficial cells for optimal results.
- Improved Collagen Stimulation: PRF delivers longer-lasting collagen production and more robust skin and tissue rejuvenation than PRP.
- Reduced Inflammation: The natural processing of PRF without additives reduces inflammation risks, promoting smoother recovery and better outcomes.
At Lux Aesthetics, we exclusively offer PRF because it delivers superior, longer-lasting results for our patients.
PRF is incredibly versatile and can be used for a wide range of aesthetic and regenerative purposes, including:
- Hair Restoration: Stimulate growth in thinning or receding areas.
- Under-Eye Rejuvenation: Improve dark circles and hollowing for a refreshed appearance.
- Facial Rejuvenation: Reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and improve skin texture and tone.
- Scar Reduction: Diminish the appearance of acne scars and surgical scars.
- Volume Loss: Subtly restore volume in tear troughs, cheeks, and other areas.
- Neck and Décolleté: Smooth wrinkles and enhance skin quality.
PRF works by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production, so results appear gradually. Most patients begin to see improvements within a few weeks, with optimal results developing after a series of treatments.
Results from PRF treatments can last up to 12-18 months with a full treatment series. Maintenance treatments are recommended every year to sustain the benefits.
Most patients benefit from a series of 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Your personalized treatment plan will depend on your aesthetic goals and the area being treated.
PRF treatments require minimal downtime. Mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site is possible and typically resolves within 24-48 hours. We recommend scheduling your treatment at least two weeks before any significant events to allow for optimal healing.
