How Long Does It Take to Recover from PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) Treatment?

If you’re considering a PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) treatment at Rochester Beauty Bar in Rochester, Michigan, you may be wondering about the recovery process. PRF is a revolutionary, natural treatment that enhances skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, and wound healing using your body’s own growth factors. Unlike more invasive procedures, PRF offers minimal downtime, but how long does it really take to recover?

What Is PRF Treatment?

PRF is an advanced form of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, where a small sample of your blood is processed to concentrate platelets, growth factors, and fibrin. This natural “liquid gold” is then injected or applied to the treatment area to stimulate collagen production, accelerate healing, and improve skin texture.

Common uses of PRF include:

• Skin rejuvenation (PRF facials, microneedling with PRF)
• Hair restoration (PRF injections for thinning hair)
• Under-eye rejuvenation (to reduce dark circles and hollows)
• Scar healing & post-procedure recovery

PRF Recovery Timeline

One of the biggest advantages of PRF is its minimal downtime. However, recovery can vary slightly depending on the treatment area and individual healing response.

Day 1 (Treatment Day)

• Mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection sites is normal.
• Some patients experience slight bruising, especially with under-eye PRF.
• Avoid makeup, excessive sun exposure, and strenuous exercise for 24 hours.

Days 2-3

• Swelling and redness typically subside within 48 hours.
• Bruising (if any) may still be visible but will fade quickly.
• You can resume light activities but avoid intense workouts.

Days 4-7

• Most patients see full visible recovery within a week.
• Under-eye PRF may take slightly longer (up to 10 days) for bruising to completely resolve.
• Skin may start looking brighter as collagen production kicks in.

2-4 Weeks Post-Treatment

• Optimal results appear as new collagen forms, improving skin texture, volume, and tone.
• For hair restoration, new growth may take 3-6 months to become noticeable.

Tips for Faster PRF Recovery

To ensure the best results and quick healing:
Avoid NSAIDs (like ibuprofen) for a few days before and after treatment (they can interfere with PRF’s effects).
Stay hydrated to support healing.
Use gentle skincare. Avoid retinoids or harsh exfoliants for a few days.
Apply arnica or cold compresses to reduce bruising.
