PRF in Seattle & Tacoma

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a natural treatment that is becoming more popular in Seattle and Tacoma due to its healing abilities. It can also help reduce inflammation and improve collagen production, making it a safe and effective option for cosmetic and therapeutic purposes. Whether you want to rejuvenate tired skin, ease joint pain, or regain a youthful look, PRF works with your body for subtle and lasting results. 

At PRP in Seattle, our healthcare providers take a personalized approach to treatment, ensuring PRF is tailored to your specific needs. This method allows us to focus on your individual concerns. With little downtime and long-lasting effects, PRF is a gentle alternative to more invasive procedures.

Understanding PRF

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a natural treatment taken from your blood that helps healing, reduces inflammation, and encourages tissue regeneration. It has a high concentration of platelets, white blood cells, and a fibrin matrix—each essential for healing your body from within. What makes PRF unique is its ability to release growth factors gradually, which promotes long-lasting collagen production and repair. Because it comes from your own blood, PRF has minimal risk of side effects or rejection.

Benefits of PRF

PRF stands out as a natural treatment that works with your body’s healing system. Here’s what makes it a powerful choice:

• Gentle and effective: PRF supports tissue repair, softens signs of aging, and encourages cell renewal without harsh chemicals or invasive methods.
• Natural results: It promotes subtle improvements that build over time, leading to fresher skin and easier joint movements.
• Safe for all skin types: Since PRF is derived from your blood, it is safe for many patients and skin tones, with little to no risk of allergic reactions or sensitivity.
• Low downtime: Most PRF treatments are quick and comfortable, with minimal recovery time, allowing them to fit easily into your busy schedule.

Versatile uses: PRF can be customized for various goals, areas, and concerns, from under-eye brightening to joint relief and skin rejuvenation.

Targeted PRF Treatments at PRPinSeattle

PRF is extremely versatile and can be customized to address specific cosmetic and therapeutic needs. At PRPinSeattle, we focus on three main applications: under-eye restoration, joint support, and natural volume enhancement.

Tear Trough Treatments with PRF 

Dark circles and hollow under-eyes are common issues for many patients in Seattle and Tacoma, particularly in low-light months. PRF provides a natural, non-synthetic option to refresh this delicate area without the risks associated with traditional fillers. 

Using your body’s regenerative cells, PRF is gently injected into the tear troughs. It gradually releases growth factors that stimulate collagen, enhance skin quality, and improve circulation. This treatment is perfect for those who want subtle, long-lasting improvement with minimal downtime. Pricing starts at $850 per session.

PRF Knee Injections

In active cities like Seattle and Tacoma, joint pain can affect everyday activities such as commuting, hiking, or exercising. PRF knee injections provide a non-surgical, biological alternative to steroids or invasive procedures. The concentrated platelets and growth factors in PRF are injected directly into the joint space or surrounding tissues. 

This option is especially popular for those dealing with early arthritis or joint discomfort. Pricing starts at $1,200 per session.

Biogel Applications with PRF

Biogel, also referred to as PRF gel or injectable PRF, is a thicker, moldable version of PRF made by gently warming the serum. It is unique because it provides immediate structural support while continuing to release growth factors over time. This not only restores volume but also enhances skin tone, elasticity, and texture. Pricing starts at $1,400 per session.

Who’s a Good Candidate for PRF in Seattle and Tacoma?

The damp and chilly weather in Seattle and Tacoma can affect your skin, joints, and energy. PRF is a restorative option for those looking to reduce the impact of environmental factors and daily stress. You may be a good candidate for PRF if you:

• Have tired or dehydrated skin from long winters or indoor heating.
• Experience joint stiffness or pain, especially from staying active in colder weather.
• Notice early signs of aging, like fine lines, volume loss, or under-eye hollows.
• Prefer natural, additive-free treatments that support your body’s healing.
• Are generally healthy and want a low-risk, long-lasting solution.

Recovery and Aftercare

One of the benefits of PRF is the gentle and low-maintenance recovery process. Since the treatment uses your blood without synthetic additives, most patients see little to no downtime.

The PRF Process

PRF treatments are efficient and performed entirely in-office, making them convenient for a busy Seattle or Tacoma lifestyle. While each session is customized to your needs, the overall process includes a few simple steps after determining your suitability during your appointment.

• Blood Collection: On the treatment day, PRF begins with a simple blood draw, usually from your arm.
• Specialized Centrifugation: After collection, the blood goes into a specialized centrifuge. This machine spins the blood at a specific speed to gently separate its components while preserving more platelets, white blood cells, and stem cell-like factors.
• Formation of PRF: After spinning, the result is a gel-like concentrate called Platelet-Rich Fibrin. This golden serum is rich in growth factors and healing cells, which are released gradually over several days after application. It offers long-lasting regenerative effects.
• Application or Injection: The final step involves applying or injecting the PRF into selected areas, based on your needs. It may be used under the eyes, injected into the knees, or mixed with biogel for skin rejuvenation. The application is usually quick and comfortable, often completed within 30 to 60 minutes.

Minimal Downtime, Lasting Results: Most patients need little to no downtime after PRF treatment. Mild swelling or tenderness may occur but typically resolves within one to two days. Over the following weeks, the slow release of growth factors stimulates collagen production, reduces inflammation, and supports natural tissue repair.

What to Expect After Treatment

• Mild Swelling or Redness: Some swelling, redness, or tenderness around the injection site is common. This usually fades within 24 to 72 hours.
• Tightness or Mild Bruising: A slight feeling of tightness or minor bruising may occur depending on the area treated. This is temporary and typically resolves on its own.
• Gradual Results: PRF is a slow-release treatment, which means your results will improve over a few weeks as collagen builds and tissue regenerates.

Aftercare Tips

To support healing and results, the healthcare providers at PRPinSeattle recommend:

• Avoid touching or massaging the treated area for at least 6 to 8 hours.
• Stay upright and refrain from strenuous exercise for the first 24 hours.
• Keep the area clean and avoid skincare products with active ingredients (like retinol or acids) for a few days.
• Skip alcohol, smoking, and heavy sun exposure for at least 48 hours, as these can interfere with healing.
• Apply a cool compress if needed for swelling.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does PRF usually cost?

At PRPinSeattle, the cost of PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) treatment generally starts at $850 per session for under-eye or small-area rejuvenation. More extensive treatments like full-face or hair restoration PRF sessions may vary based on the treatment plan’s scope and whether it’s combined with microneedling, laser, or other therapies. Package pricing may also be available for multiple sessions, often recommended for the best results.

Is PRF worth it? 

Yes, especially for those seeking natural, long-term improvement in skin texture or hair density without synthetic fillers or surgical options. Patients at PRPinSeattle often prefer PRF because it harnesses the healing power of their own blood to stimulate collagen production, tighten skin, or promote hair regrowth. 

The results are subtle yet significant, gradually building over time. Most patients appreciate that PRF has little to no downtime and minimal risk of allergic reactions. If your goal is to enhance your appearance naturally, PRF is a valuable investment.

Does PRF regrow hair permanently? 

Not permanently, but it can significantly slow hair loss and encourage regrowth with consistent treatments. Most patients require an initial series of 3 to 4 monthly sessions, followed by maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months. At PRPinSeattle, we emphasize early intervention. PRF is most effective when hair follicles are still alive but dormant. It’s not a cure for baldness but a long-term support tool for healthier, denser hair.

Who is not a candidate for PRF? 

Not everyone is an ideal candidate for PRF therapy. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, those on blood thinners, or those with uncontrolled autoimmune or blood disorders may be advised to wait or consider alternative treatments. Additionally, individuals with active infections, severe inflammation, or unrealistic expectations about outcomes may not be suitable for PRF at this time. At PRPinSeattle, your provider will review your medical history to determine if PRF is safe and suitable for you during your initial consultation. The goal is always to deliver results safely, focusing on long-term improvement.
