How Does a PRF Facial Work?
At Este Medical, our PRF facial shares a starting point with our PRP Facial. A small blood sample is taken from the patient – giving reason for the name “Vampire Facial” - which then undergoes a specialised centrifugation process. By separating the platelets and growth factors from other components in the blood, the centrifuge creates a PRF solution that is highly rich in platelets and bioactive proteins essential for regenerating and revitalising the skin.
Similar to our PRF Hair Loss Treatment, our PRF treatment for face goes a step above PRP, as it does not involve the use of any anticoagulants or chemicals and uses up to 10x more platelets.
The absence of chemicals in PRF treatments means that the plasma is allowed to form a fibrin scaffold that is rich in platelets and white blood cells when introduced to the treatment area. This causes the gradual release of growth factors over time which help to sustain the results for longer, as opposed to PRP’s quicker release, which offers shorter term effects.
Additionally, the blood in PRF is cooled before centrifugation, resulting in a higher volume of PRF liquid—up to 20-50% more. This results in better treatment coverage, and more enhanced and reliable facial rejuvenation.

Benefits of PRF Therapy for Face
- Natural Rejuvenation
PRF facial treatments at Este Medical Group promote natural skin rejuvenation without the use of any anticoagulants or chemical, harnessing the body's own platelets and growth factors to stimulate collagen production for enhanced skin vitality and radiance.
- Long-Lasting Results
A slower and more sustained release of growth factors in PRF contributes creates much longer-lasting results compared to PRP, providing a continuous stimulation of collagen production for a lasting impact.
- Enhanced Cell Adhesion
The absence of chemicals allows the PRF plasma to form a platelet and white blood cell-rich fibrin scaffold, enhancing cell adhesion and optimising the effectiveness of the treatment.
- Increased Volume for Better Coverage
The cooling process before centrifugation results in up to 20-50% more volume of PRF liquid. This helps to ensure comprehensive coverage when injected into targeted facial areas for optimal results.
- Minimal Downtime
Our PRF facial treatment is known for its minimal downtime, meaning you can get back to your daily activities as soon as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a PRF Facial and PRP Facial?
A PRF facial treatment differs from a PRP facial by excluding anticoagulants and chemicals. As a result, the composition of PRF results in a platelet and white blood cell-rich fibrin scaffold, offering a sustained release of growth factors for longer-lasting rejuvenation compared to the quicker release from PRP. This makes our PRF treatment for face much more effective than PRP.
What kind of results can I expect from PRF Facial treatment?
Our PRF facial treatment is designed to stimulate collagen production, enhance skin elasticity, and improve overall skin texture and tone. Patients often notice a more revitalised and refreshed appearance with natural-looking and long-lasting results. It is important to note that the results can vary by person, but our experts will discuss realistic expectations for your unique treatment during your consultation.
How long do the results last?
The results can last up to 12-24 months, after which you may need regular top-up treatments to maintain the results.
How many PRF facial rejuvenation treatments will I need?
This will depend on your unique skin goals. We recommend 3 treatments spaced 4-8 weeks apart, with maintenance treatments every 6-12 months to maintain the desired results.
How do I know if this treatment is right for me?
