Keep healing with the power of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). This super serum is created from a sample of your blood and contains a rich complex of growth factors that are used in medical and aesthetic settings to stimulate tissue regeneration. When administered to the skin via injections of microneedling, PRF is a highly effective form of scar reduction therapy, helping you see smoother, clearer skin.
For scar treatments, we offer PRF therapy, which is administered via a series of injections or as a serum following microneedling. Once introduced to the treatment area, the solution boosts collagen production and cellular turnover, helping the scar look smoother, lighter, and better blended with the surrounding skin. We use the EZ PRF method of processing your blood sample, which is clinically proven to isolate a higher percentage of platelets than other processing methods as well as leukocytes and mesenchymal stem cells. EZ PRF also produces a complex fibrin scaffold that slows the solution’s absorption by the body to produce more powerful healing.
PRF can be injected or used with the CosmoPen to diminish the appearance of scarring caused by an injury, stretch marks, or surgery. Scars from cosmetic surgeries, knee replacement, or other procedures can be significantly reduced. PRF has also been shown to be effective on depressed scars (atrophic scars) such as acne scars and keloids (hypertrophic scars).
EZ PRF scar therapy begins with a blood drawn, similar to what is done for a standard blood test. The sample is then placed in a centrifuge and processed to separate its components. The EZ PRF separation process allows for the separation of a higher concentration of growth factors than any other PRF collection method. Your specialist then administers the PRF via a series of carefully placed injections or as a topical application following microneedling with the CosmoPen. In most cases, a few sessions are scheduled to achieve the best results.
Every treatment begins with a consultation between you and your Onore provider. Your aesthetic specialist will assess the scar or scars you are seeking to reduce, ensuring that PRF will be an effective means of reducing their appearance. We are here to answer all of your questions and provide realistic expectations of the results you are likely to achieve with PRF’s unique biostimulatory abilities.

There is no downtime following PRF injections. The area may be slightly tender, red, or swollen for a short period of time, but these side effects will fade within a few days. You should avoid excess exposure to the sun during this time and keep the treatment area clean and moisturized. Your aesthetic specialist will review your aftercare instructions with you, ensuring you achieve optimal results from the treatment.
Some people may begin to see improvements in the weeks following their first session, while others may require multiple sessions before seeing noticeable changes. It's essential to have realistic expectations, as PRF therapy may not completely eliminate a scar but can make it less prominent and improve its texture. Patience is important, as it may take several months for the full benefits of PRF therapy to become apparent. As the PRF goes to work, many individuals see a significant improvement, with the scar blending in to the surrounding skin to appear faint or even imperceptible.
PRF therapy may be suitable for various types of scars, including acne scars, surgical scars, traumatic scars, and stretch marks. However, its success can vary among individuals, and some scars may not respond as well as others to the treatment. We will assess your case to determine if PRF therapy is a good option for you.
The timeline for seeing improvements after PRF therapy can vary depending on factors like the type and severity of the scar, the number of treatment sessions, and your individual response. Some people may notice initial improvements within a few weeks to a couple of months, but it may take several months to see the full benefits. Multiple sessions are often required for optimal results. We will provide guidance based on your specific treatment plan.
PRF therapy differs from these approaches in that it uses your own blood components to stimulate natural tissue regeneration and collagen production. Laser therapy relies on the use of focused light energy to target scar tissue, while corticosteroid injections aim to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune response. PRF therapy is considered a more natural and regenerative approach to scar treatment.
