Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF)
Experience a science-backed, natural path to skin renewal and hair restoration with Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) treatments at Contour Laser Medi Spa in Fredericton, NB. Harness the healing power of your own blood to revitalize your skin and scalp with minimal downtime.
What is Platelet-Rich Fibrin?
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is an advanced regenerative treatment derived from your own blood. Unlike Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), PRF contains a higher concentration of growth factors, white blood cells, and a fibrin matrix, which offers longer-lasting effects. It’s completely natural—no additives or chemicals—making it ideal for sensitive areas like the under eyes, lips, and scalp.
PRF stimulates collagen, improves skin texture, reduces wrinkles, and promotes hair growth by accelerating tissue regeneration. Whether injected or applied post-microneedling, PRF offers a gentle, effective solution for aging skin and hair thinning, safely boosting radiance and youthfulness from the inside out.
Benefits of PRF
Naturally Stimulates Collagen Production
PRF promotes collagen synthesis by releasing powerful growth factors that boost cellular regeneration. This makes skin firmer, plumper, and more youthful without the need for synthetic fillers.
Smooths Texture and Refines Pores
With consistent treatments, PRF helps even out skin texture and reduce the appearance of large pores. Your complexion becomes softer, clearer, and more radiant over time.
Safe for Sensitive Areas
Unlike many treatments, PRF is safe for delicate areas such as under the eyes and lips. Its natural composition minimizes risks, making it ideal for patients with sensitive or reactive skin.
Platelet-Rich Fibrin Process
At Contour Laser Medi Spa, your Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) treatment begins with a personalized consultation where we assess your skin or hair concerns and create a custom plan. The process starts with drawing a small amount of blood from your arm. This blood is then placed in a specialized centrifuge that gently spins it at a low speed to separate the fibrin matrix from the red blood cells and plasma. This golden concentrate is rich in platelets, white blood cells, and growth factors.
For facial rejuvenation, the PRF is either injected directly into delicate areas such as under the eyes or applied after microneedling to maximize absorption. For hair restoration, the PRF is carefully injected into the scalp to stimulate dormant follicles and improve circulation. The treatment takes about 45–60 minutes and is well tolerated due to a topical numbing cream. Any redness or swelling typically fades within 24–48 hours, revealing smoother, fresher skin or healthier hair growth.
PRF Maintenance treatments
While PRF offers powerful regenerative benefits, it’s most effective when part of a structured treatment plan. Most patients benefit from an initial series of 3–4 sessions, spaced approximately 4–6 weeks apart. This gives your body time to regenerate collagen and activate long-term results in skin texture, firmness, and elasticity—or for hair, increased density and regrowth. After the initial phase, maintenance treatments are recommended every 3–6 months depending on your skin or scalp condition, lifestyle, and goals.
These sessions keep your collagen production active, support hair follicle vitality, and help extend the visible results. Maintenance appointments also allow us to adjust your treatment strategy as needed—whether you’re addressing new signs of aging, targeting lingering acne scars, or managing early stages of hair thinning. With regular upkeep, PRF becomes a reliable ally in your long-term wellness and beauty routine, offering continued improvement and the assurance of healthy, radiant skin and fuller, stronger hair.
