PRF in Coral Gables.
Drawn from you, returned to you. Platelet-Rich Fibrin uses your own growth factors, processed and reintroduced to stimulate collagen, smooth texture, and revive luminosity, performed by Marcella Valdes, MMS, PA-C.
What PRF actually does.
Platelet-Rich Fibrin, or PRF, is a regenerative treatment made entirely from your own blood. A small sample is drawn and processed to concentrate platelets and growth factors into a fibrin matrix, which is then reintroduced into the skin. Unlike synthetic fillers, PRF works by stimulating your body's own repair process, slowly releasing growth factors over several days to boost collagen, improve texture, and restore volume.
Because it's made from your own blood, PRF is especially well suited to delicate areas like under the eyes, where synthetic fillers can sometimes look or feel less natural. It's also commonly used to improve overall skin tone, texture, and luminosity.
Is this right for you?
- You have under-eye hollowing or dark circles that haven't responded well to skincare alone
- You want to improve overall skin texture, tone, or luminosity
- You prefer a regenerative, natural approach using your own biology over synthetic fillers
- You're interested in a treatment with growth factors that support your skin's own repair process
- You're 18 or older and in general good health, with no active skin infection or blood disorders in the treatment area

They're related but not identical. Both are derived from your own blood, but PRF is processed differently to create a denser fibrin matrix that releases growth factors more slowly over time, rather than all at once. This tends to make PRF longer-acting and especially well suited to delicate areas like under the eyes.
Yes. Because PRF is derived from your own blood, there's no risk of allergic reaction to a foreign substance the way there can be with some synthetic products. A small blood draw is processed on-site before being reintroduced into the treatment area.
Most patients see the best results from a series of 2 to 3 sessions, spaced several weeks apart, since results build gradually as your body responds to the growth factors. Some patients choose ongoing maintenance sessions after their initial series.
Most patients return to normal activity the same day. Mild swelling, redness, or bruising at injection sites is common for a few days, particularly under the eyes, where the skin is thinner and more delicate.
Since PRF works by stimulating your own collagen production, results build gradually rather than appearing immediately. Most patients notice improvement over 4 to 8 weeks, with continued improvement as growth factors keep working over time.
