Platelet-rich fibrin therapy concentrates growth factors from your own blood and reintroduces them into targeted skin or scalp areas to stimulate collagen production, improve texture, and support volume restoration. It is entirely natural, biocompatible, and suitable for a wide range of skin types and tones.

Growth factors and fibrin from your own blood are concentrated and precisely introduced into targeted areas. Over the following weeks, these factors support collagen and elastin production, gradually improving skin quality, tone, and firmness in a way that develops naturally and progressively over time.

PRF vs. PRP comes down to how each concentrate is processed. Platelet rich plasma uses an anticoagulant to keep blood in a liquid state, while platelet rich fibrin is processed without anticoagulants, forming a fibrin matrix that releases growth factors more gradually and sustainably. Most patients find that the fibrin approach delivers longer-lasting results per session.

EZ Gel is created from your own blood and processed using controlled heat to form a smooth, stable gel that can be introduced into the skin for subtle, natural volume restoration. Unlike traditional synthetic fillers, it relies entirely on your own biology, making it 100% biocompatible and significantly reducing the risk of adverse reaction.

When introduced into the under-eye area, platelet-rich fibrin and EZ Gel support tissue regeneration and collagen production in this delicate zone. Patients typically notice a gradual softening of hollowness and improvement in the appearance of dark circles over several weeks, with results that continue to develop over time.

Results from these regenerative therapies can typically last 6 to 12 months, though individual outcomes vary based on factors including age, skin condition, and lifestyle habits. A maintenance session every 6 to 12 months may help sustain and build on your initial results.

Most patients see meaningful improvement after an initial series of 2 to 3 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Your provider will recommend a personalized schedule based on your goals and how your skin responds.

Unlike traditional dermal fillers that use synthetic hyaluronic acid to add volume, these regenerative therapies work by stimulating your own collagen and supporting natural tissue repair. Results are more gradual and subtle, making them a compelling option for patients who prefer a natural, filler-free approach to facial improvement.

Downtime is minimal. Patients may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at the treatment site, which typically resolves within 24 to 48 hours. Most patients can return to normal activities within a day, though strenuous exercise and heat exposure should be avoided for the first 48 hours.

The cost of each session varies based on the treatment type, the number of vials required, and the areas being addressed. We encourage patients to schedule a consultation at our San Diego or Vista location, where your provider can assess your goals and offer a personalized recommendation and estimate.
