Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a blood-derived preparation containing platelets and a fibrin component. It is prepared from your own blood using a processing protocol that differs from platelet-rich plasma (PRP).
The fibrin matrix is one of the distinguishing characteristics of PRF. Preparation and composition can vary with the technique used. During your consultation at Regentics in Mount Waverley, we discuss your skin concerns, health history, proposed application, available evidence, potential risks and recovery.
PRF is not automatically more effective than PRP. Suitability and outcomes vary, and no particular result is guaranteed. Compare PRF Skin with PRP Skin, or explore PRF under-eye consultations for a different treatment area.
Your consultation starts with the changes you have noticed in skin texture and appearance, your goals and your current skincare routine.
Tell your practitioner about medicines, supplements, previous procedures and health conditions so they can assess whether PRF is suitable for you.
Results vary. Your practitioner will explain the limitations of PRF and whether other approaches may better suit your concerns.
Your consultation includes alternative approaches, including skincare or no treatment, so you can make an informed choice.
Discuss recovery time, aftercare instructions and who to contact if you have concerns before deciding to proceed.
PRF is not suitable for everyone. Your practitioner will assess your circumstances and explain relevant risks before treatment.
Your practitioner reviews your skin concerns, medical history and goals and discusses whether PRF or another approach is appropriate.
Before any treatment, discuss the proposed procedure, possible risks, recovery, alternatives and costs. Ask questions and take time to decide.
The skin is cleansed, and numbing may be applied depending on the device and your comfort needs.If PRF is suitable and you choose to proceed, your practitioner will explain how your blood sample is collected and prepared and how the planned procedure will be performed.

Blood collection and the proposed procedure can cause discomfort. Your practitioner will explain what to expect and discuss suitable comfort measures.
Recovery depends on the procedure and your individual response. Ask about redness, swelling, bruising and aftercare, and allow appropriate time before important events.
There is no single schedule for everyone. Any proposed course and review timing should reflect your assessment, response, preferences and costs.
