PRF is generally considered safe because it uses the patient’s own blood, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions or infections. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects, which will be reviewed prior to treatment. 

The entire PRF procedure typically takes about 1 hour including blood drawing, processing, and injection.

The number of sessions varies depending on the specific treatment goals and the individual’s response to the therapy. Multiple sessions may be recommended, and maintenance sessions may be needed for long-term benefits.

Results from PRF therapy can vary, and it may take several weeks to months to see noticeable improvements. Collagen stimulation and tissue regeneration are gradual processes.

Side effects are generally mild and may include temporary swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site. 

Discomfort during PRF injections is typically minimal. A numbing cream is often applied to the treatment area to enhance patient comfort.

PRF may contribute to improvements in skin texture and tone, which could lead to a reduction in the appearance of dark circles. However, results can vary.
