PRF Bio-Gel is an advanced regenerative treatment that uses your body's own platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) to naturally restore volume, improve skin texture, and stimulate collagen production. Unlike synthetic dermal fillers, PRF Bio-Gel works with your biology to create gradual, natural-looking rejuvenation. At Nurture Wellness & Aesthetics, we offer this innovative treatment as part of our commitment to regenerative aesthetics.
What Is PRF Bio-Gel?
PRF stands for Platelet-Rich Fibrin, a concentration of platelets, growth factors, and white blood cells derived from your own blood. When processed into a Bio-Gel form, PRF becomes an injectable material that can add gentle volume while simultaneously delivering a concentrated dose of growth factors to the treatment area.
The key difference between PRF Bio-Gel and traditional PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is the fibrin matrix. This natural scaffold releases growth factors slowly over 10 to 14 days, providing a sustained healing and regenerative response rather than a single burst. The result is longer-lasting improvements in skin quality and texture.
How PRF Bio-Gel Is Created
The process begins with a simple blood draw, similar to a routine lab test. Your blood is then placed in a specialized centrifuge that separates the components. Unlike PRP preparation, PRF uses a lower centrifugation speed and no anticoagulants, which preserves more of the beneficial growth factors and creates the fibrin matrix.
The resulting PRF is then carefully processed into a Bio-Gel consistency that can be injected precisely where volume and rejuvenation are needed. Because the material comes entirely from your own body, there is virtually no risk of allergic reaction or rejection.
Treatment Areas
PRF Bio-Gel can be used to address a variety of concerns across the face and neck:
- Under-eye hollows and dark circles
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Fine lines around the mouth and lips
- Cheek volume loss
- Jawline definition
- Neck lines and crepiness
- Overall skin quality improvement across the face
What to Expect During Your Appointment
A PRF Bio-Gel treatment typically takes about 60 to 90 minutes from start to finish. After the blood draw and preparation (approximately 30 minutes), the Bio-Gel is injected using fine needles or cannulas, depending on the treatment area. Topical numbing is applied beforehand to ensure your comfort.
Most patients experience mild swelling and possible bruising for 2 to 5 days after treatment. There is no significant downtime, and most people return to their normal activities the following day. Results develop gradually over 3 to 4 weeks as the growth factors stimulate collagen production and tissue remodeling.
Results and Maintenance
Because PRF Bio-Gel works by stimulating your body's own regenerative processes, results continue to improve for several weeks after treatment. Most patients notice initial improvement within 2 weeks, with optimal results at 6 to 8 weeks. The regenerative effects can last 6 to 12 months depending on the individual.
For best results, a series of 2 to 3 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is typically recommended. Maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months help sustain results. PRF Bio-Gel pairs beautifully with microneedling and other regenerative treatments for enhanced outcomes.
PRF Bio-Gel vs. Traditional Fillers
While traditional hyaluronic acid fillers provide immediate volume, PRF Bio-Gel takes a different approach. It provides subtle initial volume that gradually improves as collagen builds, creates natural-looking results that enhance your own tissue quality, carries no risk of vascular complications or allergic reactions, and treats the root cause of volume loss by stimulating your body's collagen production. Many patients choose PRF Bio-Gel for areas where a natural, subtle improvement is preferred over dramatic volume correction.
