Studies show PRF contains 2–3x more growth factors than standard PRP preparations
What Is PRF and Why Does It Elevate Microneedling Results?
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a second-generation platelet concentrate derived from a small sample of your own blood. Unlike PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), PRF requires no anticoagulants-it is processed using a lower spin speed that preserves a higher concentration of platelets, growth factors, and a dense fibrin matrix.
What PRF Contains:
- Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-stimulates cell proliferation and tissue regeneration
- Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-b)-promotes collagen synthesis and tissue remodeling
- Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-stimulates new blood vessel formation and nutrient delivery
- Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-promotes cellular repair and protein synthesis
- Fibrin scaffold-provides a structural matrix that allows slow, sustained release of growth factors over days to weeks
When applied topically during microneedling, PRF penetrates deeply through the micro-channels created by the SkinPen device - delivering these growth factors directly into the dermis where collagen production occurs. The fibrin scaffold then releases growth factors gradually, sustaining the regenerative signal well beyond the treatment session itself.
What Microneedling + PRF Treats
- Acne scars-including rolling, boxcar, and shallow atrophic scars
- Fine lines and surface wrinkles
- Skin laxity and loss of firmness
- Dull, tired-looking skin with poor overall quality

Your Microneedling + PRF Appointment at TOCC Aesthetics, Step by Step
Every treatment at TOCC Aesthetics follows a careful, patient-centered process. Here is exactly what to expect:
- Blood Draw: A small amount of blood-typically 10 to 20mL-is drawn at the start of your appointment, similar to a routine lab draw.
- 15. PRF Preparation: The blood is centrifuged at a specific speed and time to separate the PRF layer. No anticoagulants are added. The PRF is prepared and ready within minutes.
- 16. Skin Preparation: Topical numbing cream is applied for 30 to 45 minutes while the PRF is being prepared.
- 17. Microneedling + PRF Application: The SkinPen treatment is performed. As each pass creates micro-channels, PRF is applied topically so it absorbs immediately through the open channels into the dermis.
- 18. Post-Treatment: Skin will appear red for 24 to 48 hours. The PRF continues to release growth factors over the following days. Tiffany provides specific aftercare instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between PRF and PRP?
PRF is the newer, more advanced generation of platelet concentrate therapy. It uses no anticoagulants, which means the fibrin forms a natural scaffold that holds growth factors and releases them slowly over days-versus PRP which is liquid and disperses quickly. PRF also typically contains higher concentrations of platelets and growth factors due to the gentler processing method.
Is Microneedling + PRF painful?
Topical numbing cream is applied before treatment, making the procedure well-tolerated for most patients. You may feel mild pressure or a slight warmth during treatment. Discomfort is generally rated 2 to 3 out of 10.
How many treatments do I need?
A series of 3 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is standard. Patients with significant acne scarring may benefit from 4 to 6 sessions. Maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months are recommended after completing your initial series.
Can I add PRF to an existing microneedling appointment?
Yes-if you have already been receiving SkinPen treatments at TOCC Aesthetics, Tiffany can add PRF to your next session. Many patients start with standard microneedling and upgrade to the PRF combination after seeing their initial results.
