PRF Treatment in Coquitlam

Stimulate collagen and repair your skin using the healing power of your own blood with advanced PRF therapy at Smile Well Medical & Spa.

What is PRF?

PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is a next-generation regenerative treatment that advances beyond traditional PRP in three meaningful ways. First, it is 100% autologous — drawn from your own blood with no additives or anticoagulants used in processing. Second, your sample is spun at a lower centrifuge speed, which preserves a natural fibrin matrix that acts as a living scaffold, releasing growth factors gradually over weeks rather than all at once — delivering sustained healing and superior, long-term skin regeneration. Third, that same fibrin structure provides a subtle natural volume-enhancing lift, making PRF especially well-suited to delicate areas like under the eyes where traditional fillers can look heavy.

PRF is used across four main clinical applications at Smile Well. Musculoskeletal healing delivers a high concentration of growth factors directly to the injured site, stimulating the body's natural repair process for damaged tendons and ligaments. Chronic pain relief is particularly effective for conditions like Tennis Elbow or Plantar Fasciitis that have not responded well to conventional treatments. Hair restoration stimulates dormant follicles to support regrowth and reduce thinning. And PRF is an excellent companion for recovery and rejuvenation alongside laser or energy-device treatments — including Secret Needle RF, microneedling, and fractional laser — as well as for patients with compromised skin barriers.

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a next-generation regenerative therapy. Published clinical research demonstrates PRF's ability to accelerate healing and tissue regeneration using the patient's own blood.

Why Choose Smile Well for PRF?

Smile Well Medical & Spa brings over 25 years of clinical experience with PRF and PRP therapies across the full range of applications — aesthetic rejuvenation, musculoskeletal healing, chronic pain relief, and hair restoration. Our providers understand the precise centrifuge protocols needed to preserve the natural fibrin matrix, white blood cells, and stem cells that make PRF superior to traditional PRP, and we tailor every session to the specific goal — whether that is delicate under-eye volume restoration, targeted tendon healing, or scalp revitalization.

Because PRF is a blood-drawn procedure, safety and sterility matter more here than in almost any other treatment we offer. We prioritize your safety with medical-grade sterilization and a pristine clinical setup for every PRF session. From the sterile blood collection, through closed-system centrifuge processing, to precise and hygienic injection — every step is performed in our meticulously maintained clinical environment using strict safety protocols. Single-use sterile supplies, careful handling of your own biologic material, and clear, clean workflows mean you can receive this powerful regenerative therapy with complete peace of mind.

We design PRF as part of a comprehensive care plan rather than a single procedure. Our team can combine PRF with microneedling, Secret Needle RF, or fractional laser to amplify regeneration, and we provide structured follow-up across the recommended 3-session series so we can track how your collagen stimulation develops and fine-tune session spacing for your best possible outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many treatments will I need?

Most patients require 3 treatments spaced 1–2 months apart for optimal results.

Is PRF safe?

Yes. Because PRF uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction is extremely low.

Does PRF help with hair loss?

Yes. PRF can stimulate hair follicles and support hair retention and growth when applied to the scalp.

Can PRF be combined with microneedling?

Yes. Combining PRF with microneedling enhances collagen production and overall skin rejuvenation.

Who is a good candidate for PRF?

PRF is ideal for individuals who want natural facial rejuvenation, have under-eye hollowing or dark circles, or are experiencing early signs of aging. A consultation will determine whether PRF or PRP is best suited for your goals.
