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 we use at Aère Aesthetics to support more resilient, healthy-looking skin and hair. By concentrating a portion of your own blood, including platelets, growth factors, and fibrin, we can deliver targeted support to areas that need improved quality rather than simple volume.
PRF is often used where traditional fillers or single-modality treatments fall short, such as delicate under-eye tissue, fine crepiness, or early hair thinning. At Aère, PRF is rarely a stand-alone solution; instead, it’s integrated into a thoughtful plan that may also include microneedling, skin boosters, or injectables for a more complete outcome.
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is an incredibly advanced treatment in aesthetic medicine. It’s a natural treatment in which your blood is drawn, processed, and then re-injected into your body in specified areas. The process takes PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and adds a gel carrier to create the injectable PRF. It has amazing healing properties, supporting cellular regeneration and collagen production in the skin. The results are tighter skin and more volume.
This is one of the best treatments to naturally prevent deep hollows and fine lines on the face. When used with microneedling, PRF improves the skin’s texture. It can be injected into acne scars, the under eyes, and shadows anywhere on the face.
Your PRF treatment starts with a small blood draw, similar to routine lab work.
The blood is placed in a specialized centrifuge that gently separates the PRF layer without anticoagulants. This creates a fibrin-rich concentrate that can then be used in your treatment.
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 particularly useful when the goal is to improve tissue quality rather than add significant bulk. Common uses include:
Your provider will determine if PRF is likely to help with your specific concern or if another modality or combination would be more appropriate.
At Aère Aesthetics, PRF is most often used for:
In some cases, PRF may be used in other small, targeted areas as part of a comprehensive plan, always guided by safety and evidence-based practice.
PRF offers a distinct set of benefits for patients who like a regenerative, subtle approach:
Uses your own biology rather than synthetic materials
Supports collagen production and tissue health over time
Can improve the appearance of texture, fine lines, and dullness
Can be used in areas where traditional fillers may be less ideal
Can complement other treatments, enhancing their impact
Because PRF works by encouraging your own tissues to behave more like they did when they were younger, the changes tend to feel gradual and integrated rather than abrupt.
You may be a good candidate for PRF if you:
PRF may not be recommended for those with certain blood disorders, active infections, or conditions that affect healing. During your consultation, your provider will review your medical history, evaluate your concerns, and discuss whether PRF fits best into your overall plan.
Recovery after PRF is typically mild. You may notice swelling, redness, or tenderness at injection or microneedling sites for a few days, especially in delicate areas like the under-eyes. For scalp treatments, there may be temporary sensitivity or mild soreness.
We usually recommend avoiding intense exercise, saunas, and certain skincare actives for a short period after treatment. You’ll receive personalized instructions based on where PRF was used and what other modalities were involved in your visit.
You can see results from PRF in 1-4 one-hour treatment sessions, and results can last for up to 6 months.
Because PRF is regenerative, results emerge gradually. Many patients begin to notice subtle changes in texture, tone, or fullness within several weeks, with more significant improvements after a series of sessions. For hair-focused treatments, changes can take several months as hair cycles progress.
The effects of PRF vary from person to person and depend on the area treated, your baseline tissue quality, and your lifestyle. Often, a series of treatments is recommended initially, followed by occasional maintenance sessions to uphold the benefits. Your provider will outline a timeline that feels sustainable and aligned with your long-term goals.
PRF at Aère Aesthetics is not offered as a standalone trend; it is integrated into a broader philosophy of regenerative, full-face care.
Our providers are experienced in designing treatment plans that combine PRF with other modalities, such as microneedling, SkinVive, or injectables, when appropriate, to create more complete, thoughtful results.
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 prepared without anticoagulants, creating a fibrin matrix that can release growth factors more slowly than traditional PRP. Your provider can explain the nuances and why one is recommended for your case.
Many patients are advised to start with a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart, followed by periodic maintenance. The exact number depends on your goals and treatment area.
Because PRF is derived from your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction is low. However, all procedures carry some risk, and your provider will review these with you before treatment.
PRF is not a direct substitute for fillers. It supports quality and subtle volume rather than creating bold structural changes. In some plans, the two are used together.
For facial treatments, makeup can often be worn after 24 hours, as long as the skin is not irritated and you avoid heavy friction. Your provider will give specific instructions based on the exact technique used.
