PRF treatment is the next step after PRP. It’s a way of using your own blood to release growth factors more slowly, giving your body more time to repair and rebuild.
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) therapy represents the next generation of regenerative medicine, providing a natural and advanced approach to healing and rejuvenation. This comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know about PRF treatment, from the science behind it to what you can expect during your journey.
PRF therapy builds on the principles of PRP but uses a fibrin matrix rich in platelets, growth factors, and stem cells derived from your own blood. Unlike PRP, PRF is prepared without additives or anticoagulants, allowing it to form a natural scaffold that supports longer-lasting release of regenerative signals. This process enhances tissue repair, reduces inflammation, and stimulates collagen production delivering more sustained and effective healing outcomes.
PRF stands for platelet-rich fibrin. Like PRP, it begins with a blood sample, but the preparation method is different. Because PRF is spun at a lower speed and without anticoagulants, it forms a fibrin matrix. This matrix holds platelets and white blood cells that release growth factors slowly once injected into the scalp or skin.

The tube is spun at a low speed to create a fibrin-rich layer without additives.
The PRF concentrate is injected into the scalp, under eyes, or skin depending on the treatment goal.
Because PRF has a fibrin scaffold, growth factors are released for longer compared to PRP. This gives tissue extra time to respond. People often notice stronger regrowth when PRF is used for hair and a smoother, fuller look when PRF is placed under the eyes or in skin.
Some people choose PRF alone, while others combine it with PRP for hair regrowth or PRF skin needling to enhance collagen stimulation.
A session begins with consultation and photos. Blood is collected, spun, and prepared within minutes. The PRF is injected or applied through micro-needling depending on your plan. The process usually takes less than an hour. Some mild swelling or redness can appear but usually fades within a day.
PRF suits people with early to moderate hair thinning, hollow or tired-looking under-eyes, or skin needing extra firmness. It’s also a good choice if you want a natural option without synthetic fillers or additives.
Recovery from PRF treatment is typically very minimal, with most patients able to return to their normal activities immediately. Some mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection sites may occur, but these effects are temporary and usually resolve within 24–48 hours. Because PRF is derived entirely from your own blood without additives, the treatment is considered safe, natural, and well-tolerated, offering a smooth recovery and effective results.
The cost of PRF treatments in Melbourne usually ranges between $500–$1,000 per session. Packages are often recommended, bringing a course of three to four treatments to around $1,500–$3,500. As PRF is considered a cosmetic procedure, it is not covered by Medicare or private health insurance.
PRF is spun at a lower speed, and without anticoagulants, so it forms a fibrin matrix. This allows a slower release of growth factors compared to PRP treatment.
Most people benefit from 3–4 sessions spaced four weeks apart. Maintenance every 6–12 months can help keep results.
Early signs can appear within 8–12 weeks. Skin texture changes often show first, while hair density builds gradually.
Discomfort is generally mild. Numbing cream is available for sensitive areas like under the eyes or scalp.
Yes, PRF is often combined with skin needling, Rejuran, or PDO mono threads for enhanced results.
