PRF at Aère Aesthetics uses a concentrated portion of your own blood to support natural collagen, under-eye rejuvenation, and hair health with a regenerative approach.
PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) is one of the core regenerative tools at Aère Aesthetics, used to support stronger, healthier-looking skin and hair. By concentrating a portion of your own blood (including platelets, growth factors, and fibrin) PRF allows us to deliver targeted support to areas that need improved quality, structure, and texture rather than simple volume alone.
PRF is especially helpful where traditional fillers or single-modality treatments can be limiting, such as delicate under-eye tissue, fine crepiness, or early hair thinning. At Aère, PRF is thoughtfully integrated into a personalized plan that may also include microneedling, skin boosters, or injectables, creating subtle, natural, full-face results over time.
PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) is an advanced, regenerative treatment that uses your body's own biology to support subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation. A small amount of blood is drawn and carefully processed to concentrate growth factors within a fibrin matrix, creating an injectable form of PRF. This refined preparation is then placed precisely where support is needed, often using ultrasound guidance. PRF helps stimulate cellular renewal and collagen production for smoother, firmer, more resilient skin over time.
PRF is especially valued for soft, delicate areas where patients want refined, undetectable enhancement. It can help soften fine lines, early hollows, and textural changes, and is frequently paired with microneedling to further improve tone and texture. PRF may be used for under-eye shadows, acne scars, and other areas of volume depletion as part of a thoughtful, full-face treatment plan.
Your PRF experience begins with a simple blood draw, much like a standard lab test, performed with care and precision.
The sample is then spun in a specialized centrifuge that gently isolates the PRF layer without anticoagulants, creating a fibrin-rich concentrate tailored for your treatment plan.
Depending on your plan, PRF may be injected under the eyes, along fine lines, into the scalp, or applied topically in combination with microneedling. A topical numbing cream is often used for comfort in more sensitive areas. The entire visit usually takes around 45–60 minutes, and you can return to many daily activities shortly afterward.
PRF is ideal when the priority is enhancing tissue quality, resilience, and luminosity rather than adding noticeable volume. It is often chosen for:
Your provider will thoughtfully assess whether PRF suits your specific concerns or if a different treatment, or a tailored combination, will serve you better.

At Aère Aesthetics, PRF is thoughtfully integrated into personalized treatment plans, most often for:
PRF is ideal for those who want a refined, regenerative approach that works with the skin rather than against it:
Harnesses your own biology instead of relying on synthetic products
Encourages collagen production and long-term tissue quality
Helps soften the look of texture, fine lines, and dullness for a more even surface
Offers a thoughtful option in delicate or challenging areas where traditional fillers may be less suitable
Integrates seamlessly into a comprehensive treatment plan, enhancing and extending the results of other services
Because PRF reactivates your own regenerative pathways, improvements appear gradually and harmoniously, creating refreshed, natural-looking changes rather than sudden, dramatic shifts.
PRF can be a thoughtful option if you prefer a natural, autologous treatment that works with your own biology rather than against it. It is often well suited for those who:
PRF is not appropriate for everyone, including some people with blood disorders, active infections, or conditions that affect healing. During your consultation, your provider will carefully review your medical history, assess your skin or scalp, and discuss how PRF may fit into a broader, personalized treatment plan.
Recovery with PRF is typically gentle and manageable. You may experience temporary swelling, redness, or tenderness at injection or microneedling sites for a few days, especially in delicate areas such as the under-eyes. For scalp treatments, mild soreness or sensitivity is common and usually short lived.
Your provider may recommend pausing intense exercise, saunas, and certain skincare actives for a brief period to support optimal healing. You will receive tailored post-care guidance based on the areas treated, whether PRF was combined with other modalities, and your overall aesthetic plan.
Most people see meaningful benefits from PRF within 1–4 one-hour sessions, with results that can last up to 6 months.
Because PRF is regenerative, improvements develop progressively rather than all at once. Many patients notice early, subtle shifts in smoothness, luminosity, or soft fullness within several weeks, with more visible refinement after a complete series. For hair-focused treatments, changes often appear over several months as the natural growth cycle progresses.
The longevity of PRF results varies based on the treatment area, your baseline tissue health, and lifestyle factors such as sun exposure, stress, and overall wellness. Often, an initial series of sessions is recommended to build a foundation, followed by periodic maintenance to preserve and enhance the outcome.
During your visit, your provider will collaborate with you to design a realistic timeline that feels sustainable, aligns with your long-term goals, and integrates PRF thoughtfully within your broader, full-face or scalp treatment strategy.
At Aère Aesthetics, PRF is never treated as a passing trend, but as part of a refined, regenerative approach to full-face care and naturally balanced results.
Our nationally recognized providers thoughtfully integrate PRF with treatments like microneedling, SkinVive, and injectables when appropriate, creating personalized plans that align with your features, lifestyle, and long-term aesthetic goals.
You’ll receive honest guidance about when PRF is the right tool and when another option may be more effective. Our goal is to use regenerative treatments in ways that make sense for your anatomy, your preferences, and your vision of natural beauty.
PRF is created without anticoagulants, allowing a soft fibrin matrix to form. This matrix can support a slower, more sustained release of growth factors than many traditional PRP preparations. In our practice, PRF is often integrated into a broader, regenerative plan rather than used as a one-off treatment. During your consultation, your provider will walk you through the differences and recommend the approach that best supports your skin, goals, and timeline.
Most patients begin with a series of sessions, typically spaced several weeks apart, to build a foundation of change. After that, maintenance treatments are scheduled based on your skin's response, lifestyle, and other therapies in your plan. Because PRF is part of a full-face, long-term strategy, your provider will outline a personalized schedule rather than a one-size-fits-all number of visits.
PRF is derived from your own blood, so the likelihood of an allergic reaction is low. As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks such as bruising, swelling, or infection. Our team takes a conservative, safety-first approach, using advanced techniques and careful screening to minimize these risks. Before treatment, your provider will review your medical history, explain possible side effects, and answer your questions in detail.
PRF does not act like a traditional dermal filler. Rather than creating immediate, pronounced structure, it supports tissue quality, hydration, and very soft, gradual volume. For many patients, PRF is used alongside fillers to enhance skin health and refine results, especially in a full-face plan. Your injector will help you decide whether PRF, filler, or a combination best aligns with your desired level of change and preference for subtlety.
For most facial PRF treatments, light makeup can usually be applied after about 24 hours, provided the skin is calm and intact. Gentle application is important; avoid heavy brushes, exfoliating products, or friction over the treated areas. Your provider will give you tailored aftercare instructions, including when to resume your usual skincare, how to protect your results, and what to avoid in the first few days.
