Can Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) Reduce My Wrinkles?

Medical aesthetics continues to advance. Only a few decades ago, your options for managing wrinkles were limited. It was basically a facelift or bust.

Fortunately, things have changed. Now, a wide range of treatment options can help you banish wrinkles and defy aging. Cosmetic injectables have emerged as an extremely popular choice here, and for good reason. They’re effective, minimally invasive, and have next-to-no downtime. 

These injectables are evolving as science advances. Today, Elaine Phuah, DO, MBA, FACOI, can deliver a filler that’s not from synthetic ingredients. Instead, platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) filler can help smooth wrinkles with a solution made from your own blood.

If you want to see how this leading-edge treatment could help you, schedule a consultation with Dr. Phuah at Hanami Medspa in Fort Worth, Texas. 

How PRF works in your skin

Dr. Phuah makes PRF bio-filler with a very small sample of your own blood. She uses a centrifuge to separate other components in your blood from the platelet-rich fibrin. This fibrin matrix contains:

• Growth factors
• Cytokines
• Leukocytes

All of these components work to stimulate tissue regeneration. As the PRF filler goes to work, it encourages your body to make more collagen. This protein acts like a scaffolding in your skin, helping it stay firm and elastic. Collagen loss, which happens naturally with age, directly contributes to wrinkles.

Fortunately, the PRF bio-filler gives you a way to combat that directly. By injecting this solution where your wrinkles bother you, Dr. Phuah equips your body to fight that sign of aging. 

Plus, because the filler comes from your own blood, there’s almost no risk of complications. You might have some mild swelling or bruising, but it should fade quickly. There’s no chance of an allergic reaction or anything else that could significantly impact how you look or feel. 

A natural way to get natural-looking results

If you’ve shied away from other fillers because they can look unnatural, you don’t need to have the same concerns with PRF. 

These fillers don’t work immediately. Instead, over the weeks, your body uses the PRF to gradually regenerate tissue in the treated area. That means you ease into your results. You don’t need to worry about looking overfilled or plastic.  

The natural-looking results usually last at least a few months and can extend for up to a year. 

Dr. Phuah tailors a treatment plan based on your cosmetic goals. We can plan repeat treatments as needed to maintain or even further enhance your results.
