PRF in Pittsburgh
Reverse Time From Your Skin
PRF Gel is an all-natural substance similar to PRP in that it’s created using your own blood sample, but it’s processed differently by using a cooling and heating technique to create the gel-like substance. Our PRF in Pittsburgh is used in a similar fashion as dermal fillers and is injected to create volume and help with collagen production and skin tone & texture.

Benefits of PRF in Pittsburgh
Natural Product

Our PRF Gel Process
Step 1
Arrive on Time
We prefer that you arrive on time for your appointment so we can answer any questions you may have about treatment and clean your skin. You are able to fill out most required forms during your consultation, so you should not have to arrive early for paperwork.
Step 2
Relax & Enjoy
Trust that you are in the hands of an experienced member of our esthetician team, and just take this time to enjoy treating yourself. PRF Gel is not painful, and the only discomfort you may experience is the injection, so you can take the time to chat with your specialist, or just lay back and relax.
Step 3
Reschedule
For PRF in Pittsburgh, most clients need anywhere from 3–4 sessions to experience the best possible results, so after your session, we’ll give you aftercare instructions and schedule for your next session. You won’t see your PRF Gel results immediately, but you will be able to see your renewed skin appear over the next couple weeks!
