EZ PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin Facial)

EZ PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) facial treatment at ARC Plastic Surgery Miami using a low-speed centrifuge without anticoagulants to produce a biologically superior growth factor concentrate containing approximately 10x more platelets than standard PRP. Used for facial skin quality, hair restoration, and post-surgical healing. A series of 6–8 sessions every 4–6 weeks is recommended, with results developing over 3–4 months.

EZ PRF at ARC Plastic Surgery in Aventura, Miami is the clinic's platelet-rich fibrin technology, representing an evolution of traditional platelet-rich plasma (PRP) that differs in both processing method and the resulting biological product. Standard PRP is prepared using anticoagulant additives (typically sodium citrate) that prevent clotting during centrifugation; the resulting product is a liquid plasma concentrate of platelets and growth factors that can be injected directly. PRF (platelet-rich fibrin), introduced as a concept by Joseph Choukroun in 2001 and further developed into injectable liquid PRF (i-PRF) and EZ PRF formats, is prepared without any anticoagulants and uses a lower centrifugation speed. Without anticoagulants, the plasma begins to naturally polymerise into a fibrin matrix once drawn from the centrifuge — creating a three-dimensional scaffold within which platelets, growth factors (PDGF, TGF-β, VEGF, EGF, IGF), and leukocytes are entrapped. The absence of anticoagulants and the lower centrifuge speed preserve more platelets that would otherwise be damaged by high-G-force centrifugation, resulting in the documented 10x higher platelet concentration cited by ARC. The fibrin scaffold functions as a slow-release reservoir for growth factors over a 7–10 day window following injection, providing a more sustained biological signal than liquid PRP, which releases its growth factor content rapidly over 1–3 days. The EZ PRF liquid format is injected into the dermis, subdermis, and periorbital region using fine needles for facial rejuvenation — improving skin texture, hydration, fine lines, and skin tone by stimulating fibroblast activity and neovascularisation. The same PRF concentrate is used at ARC in the context of hair transplantation (applied to the recipient and donor sites intraoperatively and post-operatively to support graft survival) and post-surgical healing (applied to surgical sites to accelerate tissue repair). A series of 6–8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is recommended for facial rejuvenation, with visible results developing progressively over 3–4 months as new collagen matures.
