Led by Mark Kim, MD, RVT, RPVI, and our expert aesthetic team, we deliver safe, effective PRF treatments tailored to your unique aesthetic goals. We are conveniently located in Puyallup and serve patients throughout the Seattle area.
What Is PRF?
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is a next-generation platelet concentrate that contains a high concentration of growth factors, white blood cells, fibrin, and mesenchymal stem cells. It is extracted from a small sample of your blood and spun at a low speed to preserve its powerful regenerative properties. Unlike PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), PRF clots naturally, forming a slow-release bioactive matrix that enhances healing and skin rejuvenation.
What Is PRF Gel?
PRF Gel is a more refined version of PRF that undergoes an advanced heat treatment process to create a gel-like consistency. This natural dermal filler alternative is ideal for restoring volume, smoothing fine lines, and improving skin texture. Because it’s derived from your own blood, PRF Gel is 100% biocompatible, making it a safe, natural solution for facial rejuvenation.

PRF and PRF Gel offer comprehensive rejuvenation benefits by working with your body’s natural regenerative processes:
- Increases collagen production for firmer, youthful skin
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles naturally
- Restores volume loss using your body’s own regenerative properties
- Improves skin tone and texture by enhancing hydration and circulation
- Speeds up healing and repair after aesthetic treatments
- 100% natural and chemical-free: No synthetic additives
