PRF Injections for Acne Scars
PRF for acne scars uses a similar process to the exceptionally popular PRF skin treatments and PRP treatments. It uses the awesome healing potential of your own blood to treat problem areas.
We firmly believe the treatment is exceptionally effective at treating acne scars, other skin scars, wrinkles, fine lines, stretch marks and the many signs of ageing.
PRF treatments build on the success of PRP skin treatments in a number of fundamental ways.
PRF can contain a much greater concentration of platelets than PRP. therefore, PRF could have great healing and regenerative properties. PRF treatment can also continue to release more growth factors over time, even after your treatment is completed!
How does PRF for Acne Scars Work?
PRF for acne scars is a simple, non-invasive treatment that could genuinely transform the way you see yourself in the mirror and how others see you.
Appointments last just 45 minutes and leave minimal signs of treatment. This means you can schedule an appointment in your lunch hour or any time really!
The appointment will look a little something like this:
We will draw a small amount of blood, like a blood test. We run the blood through a special centrifuge to separate the blood from the plasma and the platelets.
The solution will include fibrin, stem cells, white blood cells, growth factors and platelets. All the things your body uses to help it heal and generate new cells.
We then prepare the PRF solution and use a specialist microneedler device to apply it to the affected areas of your skin.
You then have the option to apply a red LED light to the treated area. This helps reduces redness and inflammation and accelerates the healing.
Once complete, you’re free to go about your day with some redness and minimal signs of having treatment completed.
Before and after your PRF Treatment for Acne Scars
The vast majority of clients who have PRF injections leave with minimal signs of redness after having undergone treatment. A few may show minor redness at the site of the treatment and perhaps experience a mild tingling, but this passes quickly.
PRF for acne scars has been deliberately designed to be as safe and painless as possible.
It requires no surgery, no medication, no fillers or chemicals. It just uses the massive healing potential of your own blood in a targeted manner.
If you are currently taking any medication or are undergoing any treatment that affects the blood, please note this on your medical history form and we will review if there could potentially be any issues.
If you’re taking over the counter pain medication or anything that thins the blood or changes the blood in any way, check with your physician before undergoing treatment.
There is absolutely nothing to worry about, as PRF treatments are as safe as any treatment out there. But you can never be too careful!
We recommend minimizing exposure to sunlight immediately after PRF treatments. We also suggest using our post care skin products to reduce inflammation, accelerate healing and improve your results.
We can provide guidance on all aspects of aftercare at your appointment.
After your PRF treatment for acne scars, you should have minimal signs of having undergone the procedure.
You may possibly experience a mild tingling sensation at the treatment site and the skin may be a little red or sensitive.
If this happens to you, don’t worry. It passes quickly and should not have any long-term effects.
PRF Acne Scar Treatments at Hair and Skin Science
PRF Treatments for Acne Scars at Doctor-Led Skin Clinics in Australia
PRF for acne scars uses your body’s own growth factors with the aim of supporting the skin’s tissue processes and collagen production in scarred areas. A small sample of blood is drawn and processed to isolate the fibrin and concentrated growth factors, which are then applied to the affected areas via micro-needling.
Hair and Skin Science offers PRF acne scar treatments across 16 clinics in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide. All treatments are performed by registered nurses and supported by Australian-registered doctors. A consultation is the first step in determining whether PRF is appropriate for your individual situation.
May Help Reduce the Appearance of Acne Scars
PRF for acne scars uses your body’s own growth factors with the aim of supporting skin regeneration in scarred areas. The procedure is non-surgical and does not involve synthetic chemicals or pharmaceutical agents. Individual results vary and outcomes are not guaranteed.
May Support Collagen Production for Skin Renewal
Collagen plays an important role in skin structure and texture. PRF treatment aims to support collagen production in the treated areas, which may encourage skin renewal over time. This may contribute to improvements in skin texture and the appearance of scarring. Individual responses vary.
Uses Your Own Blood with No Synthetic Additives
PRF for acne scars uses your own blood which may produce a concentrated solution of growth factors and fibrin. No synthetic chemicals or pharmaceutical additives are introduced into the solution. Because the treatment uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction to the material is considered low. As with any injectable or micro-needling procedure, potential side effects exist and will be discussed at your consultation.
Mild to Moderate Downtime and Gradual Results
PRF for acne scars is a non-surgical procedure and most patients are generally able to return to regular activities shortly after their appointment. Some mild redness or tenderness at the treatment site is common and typically resolves within a few days. Results develop gradually as the skin responds to treatment. The duration of any improvements varies between individuals.
Targets Various Types of Acne Scars
PRF may be considered for different types of acne scars including raised, indented, or discoloured scarring. By delivering growth factors directly to the affected areas, the treatment aims to support skin tissue processes and collagen production. Individual outcomes vary and suitability is assessed at consultation.
Qualified Care from Australian Doctors and Registered Nurses
At Hair and Skin Science, all PRF acne scar treatments are performed registered nurses and supported by Australian-registered doctors. All medical & health practitioners are registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), and registration details are available on request.
