PRP / PRF Facial & Skin Rejuvenation

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) facial rejuvenation using the patient's own blood-derived growth factors. Blood is drawn, centrifuged to concentrate platelets, and reinjected into the skin to stimulate collagen production, improve texture, reduce fine lines, and accelerate tissue healing. Also used for under-eye rejuvenation and scalp hair loss treatment.

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) therapies at Ästhetik Zentrum Hamburg harness the regenerative properties of concentrated growth factors derived from the patient's own blood to stimulate natural tissue repair and collagen synthesis. The procedure begins with a standard blood draw, after which the sample is placed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelet layer. PRP uses an anticoagulant to keep the plasma liquid for injection, while PRF — the newer generation technique — uses no additives, producing a fibrin-rich gel that releases growth factors more slowly and sustainably over several weeks. The concentrated preparation is then reintroduced into the skin through microinjection or combined with microneedling for enhanced penetration. In the face, PRP and PRF treatments are used to improve skin texture and elasticity, reduce fine lines and superficial wrinkles, brighten dull or sallow skin, and treat under-eye dark circles or hollowness when injected into the periorbital area. The scalp application targets androgenetic alopecia and diffuse hair thinning by stimulating dormant follicles with locally delivered growth factors. Because PRP and PRF use autologous material — derived entirely from the patient's own body — the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is negligible. Hamburg and Germany's broader aesthetic medicine sector has seen growing demand for these biologically based regenerative treatments as patients seek non-synthetic, science-backed alternatives to synthetic fillers. A typical course consists of three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every six to twelve months.
