The Next Generation of PRP

effective non-surgical solution to hair loss

PRF is the latest injectable regenerative therapy and an evolution of PRP (or platelet-rich plasma) for cosmetic concerns. PRF stands for platelet-rich fibrin, and it is the next generation of PRP, delivering 3x the effectiveness.

When injected or delivered via microneedling (à la Vampire Facial), it stimulates intense cellular regeneration. Through enhanced cellular repair, PRF offers an advanced approach to rejuvenation, an all-natural alternative to dermal fillers, and an effective non-surgical solution to hair loss. Allume Med Spa offers Petaluma PRF injections and PRF microneedling to provide patients with this advanced and versatile treatment option. Our relaxing and inviting med spa environment provides the perfect backdrop for your treatment, and our skilled team of providers ensures that you achieve the best results possible upon every visit.

What is PRF?

approach your treatment with complete confidence

Platelet-rich fibrin is a substance naturally found within the blood that contains a higher concentration of growth factors compared to PRP. When administered via injection or microneedling, these growth factors promote comprehensive cellular repair in soft tissues, including skin and hair follicles.

PRF also contains collagen type-1 for superior skin health support and features a three-dimensional fibrin meshwork that allows it to serve as a dermal filler, unlike PRP, which aids skin repair but does not affect volume. By using your body’s natural growth factors to rejuvenate your skin or hair, you can rest assured that your treatment is completely natural and poses no risk of allergic or adverse reaction. In addition, you can approach your PRF treatment with complete confidence that you will achieve a naturally younger, more energized, and attractive appearance.

How Do I Know if PRF is Right for Me?

PRF is ideal for repairing cosmetic skin concerns, enhancing volume in the cheeks and eyes, and treating hair loss due to alopecia areata. It is extremely well tolerated and is a safe and effective option for virtually any patient. PRF can also be used in combination with hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers for patients with thin skin to produce smooth, seamless contours and natural support.

Your PRF Procedure

Similar to PRP, your Petaluma PRF treatment at Allume will begin with a simple blood draw. Your treatment provider will place your blood sample in a centrifuge to separate your blood’s contents into three distinct layers.

Your fibrin will be found in the middle layer, sandwiched between cellular plasma at the top and red blood cells on the bottom. After removing the upper layer, your specialist will collect your platelet-rich fibrin clot and process it for treatment. If you are receiving microneedling with PRF, your provider will prep your skin and use a handheld tool to create thousands of micro-channels in your skin’s surface before applying the PRF directly onto your treated skin, allowing optimal absorption and dramatically enhancing your body’s natural healing mechanism. If you are receiving PRF injections, it will be injected directly into the target area. The location and number of injections you will receive will depend on your specific treatment goals.

PRF Recovery

PRF recovery is minimal, with most patients returning to their regular daily activities soon after treatment. You may experience some redness, swelling, or tenderness in treated areas, though these minor side effects should subside quickly.

PRF Results

You will begin to notice a difference in your results within four to eight weeks of your PRF treatment. However, your results will continue to develop for as long as three to six months after your last session. PRF results are long-lasting, with most patients returning to us for maintenance treatment after about 18 months. While a single session offers significant benefits with PRF injections Petaluma patients can expect to achieve the best results with an initial series of two to five appointments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How effective is PRF?

With universal benefits, PRF is a highly effective treatment method for men and women of all ages and produces beautifully natural-looking results.

Is PRF better than fillers?

PRF offers longer-lasting and more authentic-looking results than dermal fillers. In addition, PRF contains no synthetic ingredients, presenting a reduced risk of allergic or adverse reactions.

Is PRF good for under the eyes?

Yes! PRF injections are an excellent alternative to dermal fillers for tear trough hollowing. Dermal fillers can, in some cases, produce results that appear over-filled or unnatural. PRF injections, however, simply employ your body’s natural regenerative mechanisms to restore a bright, firm, youthful appearance.

Does PRF thicken hair?

Yes! Following PRF hair restoration, you can expect enhanced hair growth, with hair that is thicker, stronger, and denser than before. The best part is you can achieve the full look you want without any incisions, scarring, or other indications that you’ve undergone treatment.
