Unlike traditional injectables, PRF delivers gradual, long-lasting results with minimal discomfort and little to no downtime. It’s a safe, additive-free treatment that works in harmony with your body to promote a fresher, more youthful appearance over time.Book your complimentary PRF consultation at Deviva Skin Lab in Kelowna and discover how this powerful treatment can help you look and feel your best.

What to Expect
We make your experience comfortable and efficient:
Numbing: A topical or local anesthetic may be applied to ensure minimal discomfort. While the numbing takes effect, a small amount of blood is drawn and processed using the Arthrex PRF system.
During the Treatment: The Arthrex system gently separates and concentrates the most beneficial components of your blood into a platelet-rich fibrin matrix. Once prepared, the PRF is injected or applied into targeted areas of concern, such as the under eyes, cheeks, or scalp. The entire session typically takes 30–60 minutes.
Advanced Technique: Unlike traditional PRP, Arthrex PRF produces a stronger fibrin scaffold that supports extended growth factor release for superior tissue regeneration. At Deviva Skin Lab, our team uses precise, tailored techniques to ensure natural-looking, high-impact results.
How to Prepare
Ensure a seamless treatment experience by preparing in advance:
Consultation Required: Book a consultation with our expert providers to assess your concerns and determine if PRF is the right fit for your goals. We’ll walk you through what to expect and customize a treatment plan tailored to you.
Pause Blood-Thinning Substances: Avoid NSAIDs such as ibuprofen and aspirin, as well as supplements like vitamin E, fish oil, garlic, turmeric, and ginkgo biloba for at least 3 days before and after your treatment. If you're on prescription medications, always consult your physician before stopping any medication.
Avoid Alcohol, Caffeine & Smoking: For optimal healing, we recommend avoiding alcohol, caffeine, spicy foods, and smoking for at least 24–72 hours before and after your treatment. These can affect circulation and impact your body's natural healing response.
Hydrate Well: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment. Staying hydrated improves the quality of your blood draw and supports better treatment outcomes.
Aftercare
Support optimal healing and long-lasting results with the following guidelines:
Post-Treatment Sensations: Mild swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection sites is normal and usually resolves within 24–72 hours. Small bruises may occur depending on the area treated and individual sensitivity.
No Touching or Makeup: Avoid touching the treated areas and do not apply makeup for at least 12–24 hours post-treatment to reduce the risk of irritation or infection.
Skip Intense Activity: Refrain from strenuous exercise, saunas, hot tubs, or excessive sun exposure for 24–48 hours, as increased heat and sweating can interfere with healing.
Hydration is Key: Drink plenty of water in the days following your treatment to support circulation and cellular repair. Hydrated skin heals more effectively and improves overall results.
Pause Actives: Avoid skincare products that contain retinoids, AHAs/BHAs, vitamin C, or exfoliants for at least 2–3 days after treatment. Stick to gentle, hydrating products during the initial healing phase.

Common Questions
Is there any downtime?
PRF typically involves little to no downtime, but you may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites. These effects are usually temporary and resolve within 1 to 3 days. Most clients return to normal activities the same or next day, making PRF a convenient option for busy lifestyles. To support healing, it’s best to avoid intense workouts, sun exposure, or active skincare products for 24–48 hours post-treatment.
What areas can be treated with PRF?
PRF is versatile and can be used on several areas of the face and body. Popular treatment zones include the under eyes, cheeks, jawline, lips, and nasolabial folds, as well as the scalp for hair restoration. It’s also effective for rejuvenating delicate areas like the neck or décolleté. Whether you’re targeting fine lines, volume loss, or hair thinning, PRF can be tailored to your specific needs.
Is PRF safe?
Yes, PRF is considered extremely safe because it is autologous—meaning it comes from your own blood, with no additives or synthetic ingredients. This eliminates the risk of allergic reactions or rejection. Arthrex PRF also avoids anticoagulants, making it a cleaner and more natural option. At our clinic, we follow strict clinical protocols and hygiene standards to ensure your comfort and safety throughout the treatment.
When will I see results from PRF treatment?
Some clients may notice a subtle improvement within a few weeks, especially in hydration and texture. However, PRF works gradually as collagen and elastin production ramps up, with full results typically visible after 2 to 3 months. These regenerative effects can last anywhere from 12 to 18 months depending on your skin condition, lifestyle, and number of sessions. Patience is key, as the results are natural and long-lasting.
Can I combine PRF with other treatments?
Yes, PRF can be safely and effectively combined with other aesthetic treatments to amplify results. It pairs particularly well with microneedling, laser resurfacing, and IPL to enhance collagen production and overall skin rejuvenation. Combining treatments allows us to target multiple concerns in a synergistic way, such as fine lines, scarring, and skin texture. Your provider will create a customized treatment plan based on your unique skin goals and timeline.
What makes Arthrex PRF different from standard PRP or PRF?
Arthrex PRF stands out due to its advanced technology, which uses a controlled, low-speed centrifugation process to better preserve platelets and white blood cells. It also avoids additives and anticoagulants, allowing for the creation of a dense fibrin matrix. This matrix acts as a natural scaffold that gradually releases growth factors over time, enhancing tissue repair and regeneration. As a result, Arthrex PRF often delivers longer-lasting and more effective outcomes compared to standard PRP systems.
How many PRF treatments do I need?
Most clients see the best results with a series of 3 to 5 PRF treatments, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. While subtle improvements may appear after the first or second session, full results typically become visible by months 3 to 4 as collagen production increases. The number of treatments can vary depending on your goals, age, and skin condition. To maintain long-term results, maintenance sessions are often recommended once or twice a year.
