I-PRF
I-PRF (injectable platelet-rich fibrin) uses growth factors from your own blood to support skin renewal, texture and the under-eye area.
£350 per session
Overview
Your own growth factors, for your skin
A small sample of your blood is spun gently in a centrifuge to separate a liquid rich in platelets, white cells and fibrin. This is then injected back into the skin, where it releases growth factors over several days.
I-PRF is similar to PRP but prepared differently, so the growth factors are released more slowly. It is often used for skin quality, under-eye texture and fine lines, and can be combined with other treatments. Results build gradually across a course.
What it can help with
- Dull, tired skin
- Fine lines and crêpey skin under the eyes
- Uneven texture
- Skin quality as part of a wider plan

FAQs
Your questions answered
How is I-PRF different from PRP?
Both use your own blood. I-PRF is spun more gently and contains fibrin, so growth factors are released more slowly after injection.
How should I prepare?
Drink plenty of water and eat well in the days before treatment. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours beforehand.
