Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)
At Advanced Medical Spa & Laser Center, platelet-rich fibrin therapy offers a natural, regenerative option without synthetic ingredients. Using your own blood, PRF supports healing, improves skin texture, and restores volume. It is a strong option if you prefer gradual, natural-looking results. We serve patients from Flemington and Hillsborough, NJ.
What Is Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)?
Platelet-rich fibrin is a regenerative treatment made from a small sample of your own blood. After the blood is drawn, it is centrifuged to separate platelets, growth factors, and fibrin from the serum.
This serum is then applied or injected into targeted areas. The fibrin acts as a slow-release matrix, delivering growth factors over time to support collagen production, tissue repair, and skin renewal.
PRF vs. PRP: What is the difference?
Both PRF and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) come from your own blood, but PRF is processed at a lower spin speed without anticoagulants. It preserves more white blood cells, stem cells, and fibrin, creating a richer, more concentrated product.
Because PRF releases growth factors more slowly through the fibrin matrix, it tends to produce longer-lasting results than traditional PRP. It is also free of additives, making it one of the most natural regenerative options available. Learn more about our PRP treatments to see how both approaches compare.
What can PRF treat? Areas and skin concerns addressed
Natural healing with platelet-rich fibrin can address a wide range of concerns across the face, scalp, and body. Common treatment areas include:
- Under-eye hollows and dark circles
- Fine lines and early wrinkles around the eyes and mouth
- Uneven skin texture or tone
- Acne scarring and post-inflammatory marks
- Thinning hair and scalp concerns
- Loss of volume in the cheeks or temples
- Dull or tired-looking skin

Am I a Good Candidate for PRF Treatment?
You may be a good candidate for PRF treatment if you:
- Want to improve skin quality or address early signs of aging
- Prefer a non-invasive option without surgery or synthetic fillers
- Are in generally good health
- Have realistic expectations about gradual, natural results
- Prefer a biologically based approach using your own blood
PRF may not be suitable if you:
- Have active infections or skin conditions in the treatment area
- Have certain blood disorders
- Are taking blood thinners or medications that affect healing
Dr. Anubha Sinha will review your medical history during your consultation to determine if PRF is appropriate for your goals.
How Does the PRF Procedure Work?
The process begins with a simple blood draw, typically from your arm. The sample is placed in a centrifuge and spun at a controlled speed to separate the platelet-rich fibrin from other blood components. This takes about 10-15 minutes.
Once prepared, the PRF serum is either injected into treatment areas or applied topically during a microneedling session, depending on your skin concern. Most sessions take 45-60 minutes from start to finish. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to keep you comfortable throughout.
PRF Recovery Timeline and What Results to Expect
Most patients experience mild redness, slight swelling, or tenderness at the treatment site for one to three days. These are normal responses and typically resolve on their own. You can return to most daily activities within 24-48 hours.
PRF results develop gradually. You may notice early improvements in skin texture and tone within 2-4 weeks, with more visible changes appearing over the following 2-3 months as collagen production increases. Most patients benefit from a series of 2-3 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
Benefits of PRF Treatment
PRF regenerative treatment offers several advantages for patients seeking a natural approach to skin and hair concerns, including:
- Uses your own blood; no synthetic substances or foreign materials
- Stimulates collagen and elastin production naturally
- Improves skin tone, texture, and overall radiance
- Can reduce fine lines, scarring, and dark under-eye circles
- Supports hair follicle health and may reduce shedding
- Minimal downtime compared to more invasive procedures
- Results continue to improve over several weeks
How Much Does PRF Treatment Cost?
The cost of platelet-rich fibrin therapy varies based on the area being treated, the number of recommended sessions, and whether PRF is combined with microneedling or other services. During your consultation, you will receive a clear price estimate based on your specific plan.
Financing options such as CareCredit may be available, allowing you to spread payments over time. This can make treatment more manageable based on your budget.
