PRF
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a regenerative treatment that uses your body’s own growth factors to support tissue repair, collagen production, and overall skin and hair health. Unlike traditional injectables that add volume or relax muscles, PRF works by stimulating your body’s natural regenerative processes.
At Elevé Esthetics, PRF treatments are used to improve under-eye hollowing, skin quality, hair thinning, and overall tissue health. Because PRF is created from your own blood, it is often chosen by patients looking for a more natural approach to rejuvenation and restoration.
PRF can be used on its own or combined with other treatments such as microneedling, hair restoration treatments, or collagen stimulators depending on your goals.
What PRF May Improve
PRF is used to support tissue regeneration, collagen production, and follicle support in multiple areas of the body.
PRF may help improve:
Under-eye hollowing and dark circles
Thin or crepey under-eye skin
Hair thinning and early hair loss
Skin texture and skin quality
Fine lines and early skin aging
Acne scars
Overall skin rejuvenation
Healing and tissue repair
Treatment recommendations are based on the area treated, your goals, and your treatment plan.
PRF Treatment Options
PRF can be used in different ways depending on the treatment area and your goals.
PRF Under-Eye Rejuvenation
PRF can be injected under the eyes to improve dark circles, hollowing, and thin under-eye skin. This treatment works gradually by improving skin quality and supporting collagen production in the under-eye area.
PRF Hair Restoration
PRF can be injected into the scalp to support hair follicles, improve hair thickness, and reduce hair shedding. This treatment is most effective for patients with early to moderate hair thinning.
Microneedling with PRF
PRF can be combined with microneedling to enhance collagen production, skin healing, and overall skin rejuvenation. This combination treatment helps improve skin texture, acne scars, fine lines, and overall skin quality.
PRF EZ Gel (Natural Volume Restoration)
PRF EZ Gel is a natural regenerative treatment created from your own blood that can be used to improve under-eye hollowing, fine lines, and areas that need subtle volume and tissue support. This is often used as a natural alternative to filler in certain areas.
Your provider will determine which PRF treatment is most appropriate based on your goals and treatment area.
Is PRF Right for You?
PRF may be a good option if you:
- Prefer a natural treatment using your body’s own growth factors
- Have under-eye dark circles or hollowing
- Are experiencing hair thinning or shedding
- Want to improve skin quality and texture
- Are looking for a regenerative treatment rather than a traditional filler
- Want gradual, natural-looking improvement
During your consultation, we evaluate your concerns and determine whether PRF is appropriate for you and whether it should be used alone or combined with other treatments.

What You Should Know
What is PRF?
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is a regenerative treatment that uses your body’s own growth factors to support healing, collagen production, and tissue regeneration.
How is PRF different from PRP?
PRF contains a higher concentration of growth factors and releases them more slowly over time, which helps support longer-lasting regenerative effects.
When will I see results?
Results develop gradually over several weeks as collagen production and tissue regeneration improve.
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients benefit from a series of 3-4 treatments spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. Treatments depend on the area treated and the concern being addressed.
Is there downtime?
Downtime is minimal, but mild swelling or bruising may occur depending on the treatment area.
Can PRF be combined with other treatments?
Yes. PRF is often combined with microneedling, hair restoration, collagen stimulators, light therapy, or under-eye rejuvenation treatments as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
