PRF Facial: London's Specialist Clinic

A PRF facial london at PRP London Clinic combines medical-grade microneedling with injectable Platelet-Rich Fibrin (I-PRF) to deliver sustained growth factor stimulation to the skin. Unlike a standard PRP facial, PRF microneedling uses a fibrin matrix that continues releasing growth factors for 10 to 14 days after treatment — providing a prolonged regenerative stimulus for collagen synthesis, elastin production, and cellular renewal.

At 33 Cavendish Square, London W1G, our GMC-registered doctors use the T-Lab PRF System (CE Class IIB) for all PRF facial treatments. A 2025 systematic review of 20 studies (514 patients) found PRP/PRF treatment significantly improved skin thickness in 80% of studies and elasticity in 75% of studies, with all studies reporting positive patient satisfaction and no serious adverse events.

For patients seeking volumisation rather than surface skin improvement, see our PRF Biofiller / EZ Gel page. For the standard PRP approach, see PRP Facial.

Your PRF Facial Treatment Team

Every PRF facial london session is performed by a GMC-registered doctor from our clinical team — Dr Bruno Amendola (GMC: 4346629), Dr Mohamed Nafei (GMC: 7520509), and Dr Reem Nouri (GMC: 6149512). Our doctors follow standardised PRF facial rejuvenation treatment protocols developed through shared clinical workflows, ensuring consistent outcomes regardless of which physician performs your procedure. Never a nurse, technician, or non-medical practitioner.

How PRF Works for Facial Rejuvenation

Sustained Growth Factor Delivery to Skin

When I-PRF is applied to the skin following microneedling, the fibrin matrix integrates with the microchannels created in the dermis. Growth factors including PDGF, TGF-β, VEGF, and EGF are released gradually over 10–14 days, stimulating fibroblast proliferation, new collagen formation, and improved skin vascularity from within.

Skin Texture and Elasticity

A 2025 systematic review of 20 studies confirmed that PRP/PRF treatment significantly improves skin thickness (80% of studies) and elasticity (75% of studies). The sustained release mechanism of PRF may provide a more prolonged regenerative stimulus compared to standard PRP application.

PRF for Lips

PRF lips treatment uses injectable PRF to improve lip texture, hydration, and fine perioral lines. The sustained growth factor delivery stimulates collagen renewal in the lip vermilion and surrounding skin — a natural approach to lip rejuvenation without synthetic fillers.

Neck and Décolletage

PRF microneedling can be extended to the neck and décolletage — areas commonly affected by sun damage, crepiness, and loss of elasticity. The same sustained growth factor delivery mechanism stimulates collagen renewal in these often-neglected treatment zones.

Under-Eye and Tear Trough

For periorbital concerns including dark circles, crepey skin, and tear trough hollowing, we offer PRF as a separate dedicated treatment. See our PRF/PRP Under Eyes page for details. For deeper volume restoration, our PRF Biofiller / EZ Gel may be more appropriate.

PRF Facial: Technique and Technology

T-Lab PRF System for Facial Treatment

All PRF facial treatments are prepared using the T-Lab PRF System with the I-PRF protocol — 1500 RCF for 4 minutes. This produces a liquid fibrin concentrate optimised for topical application following microneedling, or for direct micro-injection into specific treatment zones.

Microneedling with PRF

Microneedling with PRF combines two complementary mechanisms: the microneedling device creates thousands of controlled microchannels in the dermis, stimulating a wound-healing response. The I-PRF is then applied topically, allowing the fibrin matrix and its growth factors to penetrate into the dermal layer through these channels. Needle depth is adjusted for each treatment zone — shallower for delicate periorbital skin, deeper for cheeks and jawline.

Treatment Zone Adaptations

  • Full face — microneedling + topical PRF across forehead, cheeks, jawline, chin
  • Lips — micro-injection of I-PRF into the lip vermilion and perioral lines
  • Neck / décolletage — extended treatment area for sun-damaged or crepey skin

Under-eye treatments are offered as a separate dedicated session — see our PRF/PRP Under Eyes page.

Your PRF Facial: Step by Step

Here is what to expect during your PRF facial london appointment:

1

Consultation and Skin Assessment

Your doctor examines your skin, discusses your concerns (texture, elasticity, fine lines, dark circles), and confirms PRF suitability.

2

Blood Draw

A small sample (10–20ml) is drawn from your arm into additive-free T-Lab PRF tubes.

3

I-PRF Centrifugation

The sample is processed at 1500 RCF for 4 minutes while your skin is prepared for treatment.

4

Topical Anaesthetic Application

Numbing cream is applied to the treatment area for 20–30 minutes for your comfort during microneedling.

5

Microneedling with PRF Application

Your doctor performs medical-grade microneedling across the treatment area, with I-PRF applied topically to penetrate through the microchannels into the dermis.

6

Targeted PRF Micro-Injections

For specific areas such as lips or deep lines, additional I-PRF is delivered via precise micro-injections.

7

Review and Aftercare

Post-treatment instructions are provided, including sun protection and skincare guidance. A follow-up is scheduled.

Your consultation includes a full skin assessment, discussion of expected outcomes, and a clear treatment plan with itemised pricing. See the pricing table below for a full breakdown.

Is PRF Facial Safe?

The PRF facial has an excellent safety profile. A 2025 systematic review of 20 studies (514 patients) reported no serious adverse events across any included study, with all studies reporting positive patient satisfaction.

Temporary side effects may include:

  • Redness and mild swelling for 24–48 hours (expected following microneedling)
  • Minor bruising at injection points
  • Temporary skin sensitivity
  • Occasional pinpoint bleeding at injection sites

All treatments are performed under sterile conditions by our GMC-registered doctors using single-use T-Lab PRF tubes and medical-grade microneedling devices.

PRF Facial Aftercare

First 24–48 Hours

  • Do not apply makeup for at least 6–12 hours
  • Avoid touching, rubbing, or applying pressure to the treated area
  • Skip strenuous exercise, saunas, steam rooms, and swimming pools
  • Avoid direct sun exposure
  • Avoid anti-inflammatory medications (ibuprofen, aspirin)
  • Use only gentle, fragrance-free cleanser and moisturiser

First 2 Weeks

  • Apply SPF 50 daily — the skin is more sensitive to UV following microneedling
  • Avoid active skincare ingredients (retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, vitamin C serums) for 5–7 days
  • Maintain good hydration

Follow-Up

Your doctor will schedule a follow-up to assess your skin's response and discuss timing for your next session. Most PRF facial protocols recommend 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance every 3–6 months.

  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • Chronic liver disease

Clinical Disclaimer

A PRF facial is a biological medical procedure combined with microneedling. Individual results vary based on age, skin type, baseline skin condition, and lifestyle factors. While clinical evidence supports PRF/PRP improvements in skin thickness and elasticity, PRF is a treatment to support natural skin regeneration — it is not a guaranteed solution for all skin concerns. A professional consultation is required to determine suitability.

Myths vs Facts

M

A PRF facial is the same as a PRP facial.

F

They use different preparations. PRF is additive-free and forms a fibrin matrix for sustained growth factor release over 10–14 days. PRP uses sodium citrate anticoagulant and releases growth factors immediately. A 2025 systematic review found PRF improved periorbital texture and wrinkles, while PRP showed stronger evidence for pigmentation.

M

Microneedling with PRF is extremely painful.

F

Topical anaesthetic is applied for 20–30 minutes before treatment, making the procedure comfortable. Most patients describe the sensation as mild and tolerable.

M

PRF facials require weeks of recovery.

F

Most patients experience redness and mild swelling for 24–48 hours. You can typically return to normal activities the same day, with makeup application possible after 6–12 hours.

M

PRF only works on the face.

F

PRF can be applied to the face, under-eyes, lips, neck, décolletage, and hands. The treatment is adapted for each zone by adjusting microneedling depth and PRF delivery technique.

M

One PRF facial session is enough.

F

While some improvement may be noticed after one session, optimal results require a course of 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Results are cumulative as collagen remodelling occurs over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

A PRF facial london at PRP London Clinic starts from £295 per session. A course of 3 sessions is recommended. Transparent pricing is provided during your consultation.
A PRF facial uses platelet-rich fibrin prepared without anticoagulant, creating a fibrin matrix that releases growth factors over 10–14 days. A PRP facial uses platelet-rich plasma with sodium citrate for immediate growth factor delivery. A 2025 systematic review found PRF improved periorbital texture and wrinkles, while PRP showed stronger evidence for pigmentation correction.
Microneedling with PRF combines two mechanisms: microneedling creates thousands of controlled microchannels in the dermis, stimulating a wound-healing response. PRF is then applied topically, allowing the fibrin matrix and growth factors to penetrate into the dermal layer for sustained regenerative stimulation over 10–14 days.
Yes, but under-eye treatment is offered as a separate dedicated session — not included in the PRF facial. See our PRF/PRP Under Eyes page for details. For deeper volume restoration, our PRF Biofiller / EZ Gel may be more appropriate.
PRF lips treatment uses injectable PRF to improve lip texture, hydration, and fine perioral lines. The sustained growth factor delivery stimulates collagen renewal — a natural approach without synthetic fillers. For significant lip volume enhancement, HA fillers may be more appropriate.
PRF tear trough treatment addresses crepey skin and fine lines in the delicate periorbital zone using injectable PRF. This is offered as a separate session from the PRF facial — see our PRF/PRP Under Eyes page. For deeper volume restoration and hollowing, PRF Biofiller (EZ Gel) may be recommended.
Most protocols recommend a course of 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Results are cumulative — collagen remodelling continues between sessions. Maintenance sessions every 3–6 months are recommended to sustain improvements.
Topical anaesthetic cream is applied for 20–30 minutes before treatment. Most patients describe the microneedling sensation as mild and tolerable. Any injectable PRF (for lips or tear troughs) uses fine-gauge needles for precision and comfort.
A typical PRF facial appointment takes 60–75 minutes, including the blood draw, centrifugation, numbing, microneedling with PRF application, and any targeted injections.
Most patients experience redness and mild swelling for 24–48 hours — similar to mild sunburn. Makeup can be applied after 6–12 hours. Strenuous exercise and direct sun exposure should be avoided for 48 hours.
Initial improvements in skin glow and texture can be seen within 1–2 weeks. Collagen remodelling continues over 2–3 months, with full results developing across a course of 3 sessions. A 2025 systematic review found the strongest evidence for improvements in skin thickness and elasticity.
The PRF facial has an excellent safety profile. A 2025 systematic review of 20 studies (514 patients) reported no serious adverse events across any included study. As a 100% autologous, additive-free treatment, it virtually eliminates the risk of allergic reactions.
Yes. PRF facials combine effectively with PRP (dual-protocol), polynucleotides, mesotherapy, and exosomes therapy. Your doctor will discuss the most appropriate combination during your consultation.
A PRF facial is not suitable for patients with platelet disorders, active cancer, active facial skin infections (herpes, impetigo), active acne or rosacea flares, recent isotretinoin use (within 6 months), or those on anticoagulant medication without medical review. Pregnancy and breastfeeding are also contraindications.

Supports: Systematic review of 20 studies (514 patients) evaluating PRP/PRF as monotherapy across 6 facial ageing parameters. Significant improvements reported in 80% of studies on skin thickness, 75% on elasticity. All studies evaluating patient satisfaction reported significant improvements. No serious adverse events in any included study.

Limitations: Weaker evidence for wrinkles (40%), texture (33%), and dyschromia (17%). Hydration showed no improvement in 67% of studies. Mixed study designs (controlled trials, cohort studies, case series) limit strength of conclusions.

Catherine F Sollitto, Maxim Narduzzi, Claire Wolinsky · Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2025PMID: 41190633

Supports: PRISMA-guided systematic review of 14 studies comparing injectable PRP vs PRF for periorbital rejuvenation. PRF was associated with improvements in skin texture, wrinkles, and crepiness. Both modalities demonstrated favourable safety profiles with only mild, transient adverse effects and high patient satisfaction.

Limitations: PRF improvements often diminished by 6 months, whereas PRP pigmentation outcomes were sustained. Current evidence does not support superiority of one modality over the other. Larger RCTs with standardised, objective outcome measures needed.

Mohale et al. (2024): Effectiveness of Injectable Platelet-Rich Fibrin Therapy in Alopecia and Facial Rejuvenation: A Systematic Review

Sandip A Mohale, Pallav V Thakare, Sagar S Gaurkar, Gopikishan Bharadia, Sourya Acharya · Cureus, 2024PMID: 39011192

Supports: 2024 systematic review of 7 studies (130 patients) evaluating injectable PRF for alopecia and facial rejuvenation. Three studies reported noticeable improvement in hair density and growth for alopecia. Four studies demonstrated moderate-to-significant improvements in skin texture, elasticity, and reduction in facial wrinkles, confirmed by both subjective assessments and objective VISIA skin analysis — supporting PRF's dual application across hair and skin.

Limitations: Small total sample size (130 patients across 7 studies). Study heterogeneity prevented meta-analysis; qualitative synthesis only. Included studies lacked standardised treatment protocols, control groups, and long-term follow-up. Further research with larger RCTs needed to validate findings.
