Naturally beautiful skin through the innovative PRF therapy

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) – natural, highly compatible, and a groundbreaking approach in anti-aging and regenerative medicine

Effective anti-aging – but completely natural. No incisions, no foreign substances, and results that preserve your natural radiance. This is a request we increasingly hear from our patients at the HAUT- UND LASERZENTRUM AN DER OPER. With PRF treatments, we can fulfill it.

PRF stands for Platelet-Rich Fibrin, derived from the patient’s own blood. This platelet-rich fibrin contains highly concentrated growth factors, exosomes, and signaling molecules or biostimulators, which not only enhance tissue circulation but primarily stimulate new cell formation and collagen production in the skin. These are two key factors in achieving naturally rejuvenated skin.

What is a PRF Treatment?

Not to be confused with a PRP treatment – also known as the Vampire Lift – where platelet-rich plasma is obtained from the patient’s blood, PRF therapy uses fibrin without added anticoagulants. This ensures that no foreign substances are introduced, making the treatment particularly well-tolerated. Administered via microinjections into the targeted facial areas, PRF stimulates regenerative processes and sustainably improves skin quality.

Benefits of PRF Therapy for Your Skin

  • Natural Regeneration: PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is derived entirely from the patient’s own blood and revitalizes the skin naturally. The growth factors in PRF promote cell regeneration and collagen production, making it ideal for reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture.

  • Clinically Proven Effectiveness: Studies demonstrate the positive results of PRF therapy. The treatment improves skin structure and elasticity, resulting in a youthful appearance.

  • Minimally Invasive with Little Downtime: Thanks to the gentle procedure, normal daily activities can usually be resumed within 1–2 days – perfect for those who cannot afford a long recovery period.

  • Safe and Well-Tolerated: PRF uses no artificial substances, making allergic reactions highly unlikely. The treatment is tailored to your individual skin needs.

  • Gentle and Nearly Painless: Fine needles and optional topical anesthesia make the procedure comfortable and virtually pain-free.

  • Versatile Applications: In addition to skin rejuvenation, PRF can reduce dark under-eye circles, enhance overall skin radiance, and improve acne scars.

  • Effective Regeneration After Surgery or Injury: PRF accelerates healing and improves tissue regeneration, ideal for scars or post-surgical recovery.

  • Natural-Looking Results: Unlike fillers or Botox, PRF provides a subtle, naturally rejuvenated appearance.

How PRF Autologous Blood Therapy Works in Our Clinic

Our medical experts guide you through the entire PRF process – from initial consultation to post-treatment care. The procedure is designed to be safe, comfortable, and effective in regenerating and rejuvenating your skin.

1. Consultation and Planning
Your journey begins with a personal consultation where we assess your skin and discuss your goals. Our experienced dermatologists examine your skin, explain the PRF treatment in detail, answer all your questions, and create a customized treatment plan.

2. Preparation
On the day of treatment, a small amount of blood is drawn from your arm. This blood is processed in a specialized centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), which is ready for use within minutes. The treatment area is cleaned and disinfected, and a topical anesthetic may be applied for maximum comfort.

3. PRF Treatment Procedure
Using ultra-fine microinjections, the PRF is delivered to targeted areas of the skin. The high concentration of growth factors stimulates natural regeneration and collagen production, leading to long-term rejuvenation and improved skin structure. Injection depth and technique are tailored to your individual needs. The duration depends on the size of the treated area.

4. Aftercare and Regeneration
After the treatment, the skin may appear slightly red or sensitive, which typically resolves within 1–2 days. You will receive detailed aftercare instructions and recommendations for skincare products to support regeneration and maximize results.

It is important to protect the treated areas from direct sun exposure and harsh chemicals for the first few days. Strenuous exercise, saunas, and tanning beds should be avoided for 24–48 hours.

PRF supports your skin’s self-regeneration over several weeks. For optimal results, 2–5 sessions are recommended at intervals of 4–6 weeks. Maintenance sessions can be performed every 6–12 months to sustain the effects.

Patient Testimonials

How satisfied are our patients?

I went to Dr. Merkel for a skin cancer screening. The practice itself is impressive and well-organized, and I was seen after only a short wait. From the very beginning, I felt well taken care of. Dr. Merkel took plenty of time for the examination and, in my opinion, was very thorough.

I have been very satisfied for years with the medical care provided by Dr. Niederdorfer. He always takes plenty of time and is simply excellent professionally. In addition, he is very personable and trustworthy. I would also like to highlight the practice team, especially Matthias.

Perfect – I feel very well cared for and couldn’t imagine a better dermatologist. Of course, the waiting times for an appointment can be a bit longer – obviously, others think the same as I do!

FAQ

The face, neck, and décolleté. PRF can also be applied to the scalp to support hair growth and counteract hair loss.

PRF is considered highly well-tolerated, making treatment possible even for sensitive skin. However, it should not be applied during active inflammatory phases (itching, redness, pustules).

Yes, this is possible. Depending on the condition of the skin and the patient’s goals, we recommend combining PRF with microneedling, laser treatments (skin resurfacing), fillers, or Botox.

If the patient is taking blood-thinning medications, they should consult with the practitioner before the treatment. On the day of the procedure, alcohol and nicotine should be avoided, and the treatment area should be free of makeup.

This always depends on the treatment goal, area, and desired outcome. In general, most patients require two to three sessions.

PRF itself does not cause pain or discomfort. Only the injection may cause slight discomfort. A topical anesthetic cream can be applied beforehand to minimize any sensation.

Compared to a PRP treatment, the effects of PRF injections appear more gradually. This is because the growth factors are released slowly, supporting the skin’s natural regeneration process. Results develop step by step over several weeks and months, but the final outcome is generally more long-lasting than with PRP. Depending on individual skin condition and lifestyle, the results can be visible for six to twelve months.

No. Only the injection sites may appear slightly red or swollen immediately after the treatment, which can easily be concealed with makeup. As with any injection, minor bruising is also possible.

Since only the patient’s own substances are used, the risk of an allergic reaction or rejection is very low.
