PRGF (Plasma Rich in Growth Factors) is a natural rejuvenation method in which growth factors are isolated from the patient's own blood and then applied to the skin of the face. They stimulate the natural renewal processes — without foreign substances and with minimal risk. In this article I explain how PRGF works, how the procedure is carried out, what results to expect and who it is intended for.
What is PRGF and how does it work?
PRGF is based on growth factors from your own blood. After a small amount of blood is drawn, it is centrifuged to isolate the plasma rich in growth factors. This plasma is then applied to the face (microinjections or in combination with microneedling).
The growth factors stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, speed up cell regeneration and improve the skin's blood supply — natural rejuvenation processes.
Benefits of PRGF for the face
- Natural — your own blood is used, so the risk of allergies or rejection is minimal
- Improved skin texture — firmer, more elastic skin
- Reduction of wrinkles — stimulating collagen smooths fine lines
- Minimally invasive — a quick return to everyday activities
- Support for healing — also ideal after injuries or procedures
How does the procedure work?
- Blood draw — a small amount, as with an ordinary blood test
- Centrifugation — isolating the plasma with growth factors
- Application — the plasma is applied/injected into the face
- Regeneration — the skin renews itself over the following weeks
The procedure takes approximately 45–60 minutes.
What results can you expect and when are they visible?
The first effects (freshness, skin hydration) are visible within a few days. The full effect (firmness, smoothness) develops over 4–6 weeks, as new collagen forms. For an optimal result we recommend a series of 2–3 treatments.
Who do we recommend PRGF for the face to?
- Anyone who wishes to refresh and rejuvenate their appearance naturally
- Patients with early signs of skin ageing
- Those who want an effect without aggressive procedures or foreign fillers
- For accelerated regeneration after injuries or aesthetic procedures
PRGF vs other methods
Unlike synthetic fillers (hyaluronic acid), PRGF does not add a foreign substance but encourages the body to renew itself. The effect is therefore more natural and gradual, with no risk of rejection.

How many treatments do I need? Usually 2–3 for an optimal result, then maintenance 1–2 times a year.
Is it safe? Yes — your own blood is used, so the risk of reactions is minimal.
