PRF treatment for thin eyebrows
After plucking eyebrows for decades, many people feel that their eyebrows have become thinner and have difficulty growing out.
In the past, the only option was microblading, or eyebrow tattooing.
Now we finally have a more natural alternative to that - namely PRF eyebrows, which have become a popular treatment in clinics internationally, and for good reason!
Basically, PRF (short for platelet-rich fibrin) is extracted from your own blood and then injected into the eyebrows to promote growth and fullness. It's a natural and proven way to bring back or improve the volume of the brows.

In this guide, we'll go over all the basics you need to know before booking your PRF eyebrow treatment. We'll talk about what PRF is, how it's used for eyebrows and what kind of results you can expect. We'll also go over how to choose the best PRF clinic, as well as any risks or side effects you should be aware of.
What is the PRF?
PRF stands for "Platelet Rich Fibrin." Basically, it's beneficial minerals and growth factors from your own blood, which have been shown to be good for promoting healing and growth.
When you receive a PRF eyebrow treatment, a small amount of your blood is drawn and then processed to extract PRF. This PRF is then injected into the eyebrows to stimulate hair follicles to regenerate, which in turn increases hair growth.
How PRF is extracted from the blood
During a PRF treatment, a small amount of blood is taken from the arm using a needle, just like when you give blood in a doctor's surgery. The blood is then placed in a special tube and spun in a machine called a centrifuge.
The centrifuge helps to separate the different components of the blood. The PRF is the gold-coloured layer of the blood that remains after the centrifugation process, which is filled with all the good stuff we want.
PRF vs. PRP
PRF and PRP are both treatments that use your own blood to promote healing and growth, but they work in slightly different ways.
PRP stands for "platelet-rich plasma." Like PRF, it involves centrifuging the blood to extract platelets and growth factors. When PRP is injected under the blood, it coagulates after a few hours and you therefore get stimulation that lasts for those hours.
PRF, on the other hand, stays under the skin for 7-10 days as it is a thicker solution than Prp, a fibrin, and therefore creates a longer reaction causing more powerful stimulation. PRF is commonly referred to as second-generation PRP.
How PRF is used for eyebrows
PRF can be used both for the skin and for hair stimulation. For eyebrows, we recommend a course of 2-3 times as eyebrows can sometimes be a bit stubborn.
A common method is to inject small amounts of PRF directly into the skin with a super thin needle, both inside and around the eyebrows. This can help stimulate the growth of new hair follicles and promote thicker, fuller eyebrows.
PRF treatment for eyebrows can be done at our clinic in Gothenburg. Recovery time is minimal, and most people can resume their normal activities right away.
Benefits of PRF for eyebrows
Some of the benefits you can expect:
Natural Growth: Because PRF is derived from your own blood, it is 100% . This means that your eyebrows will look naturally fuller over time, which is perfect if you're trying to grow out your eyebrows or fill in any bald spots. It can't be asymmetrical or 'mis-treated'.
Safe and natural: PRF is a very safe and natural treatment because it is made from your own blood. This means you don't have to worry about allergic reactions or other complications, and the results are long-lasting.
Minimal downtime: PRF eyebrow treatment is a minimally invasive procedure that requires no downtime. This means that you can return to your normal activities immediately after treatment without worrying about recovery time.
No scarring: Because PRF is injected directly into the skin, there are no incisions or scars. This makes it a great option for people who want to enhance their eyebrows without tattooing ink into the skin.
Overall, PRF is a safe, natural and effective way to improve the appearance of your eyebrows. It's a great option for anyone who wants fuller, more defined eyebrows without the risk, downtime or scarring associated with tattooing.
Recovery process after PRF eyebrow treatment
After treatment, you may have some mild redness, swelling or bruising around the injection sites, but these side effects are usually not a big deal and should fade within a few days. In fact, most people are back to their usual routines straight after treatment.
That said, it is important to follow the doctor's post-treatment instructions carefully to ensure you get the best results and a quick recovery. You may be advised to avoid touching your eyebrows for a few days, stay out of the sun, skip the sauna and not do any intense exercise for a little while. You may also need to avoid putting on make-up for a few hours after treatment. It all depends on your specific situation.
One thing to keep in mind is that the results of PRF treatment for eyebrows are not immediate. It may take several weeks before you see the full results, as PRF works to stimulate new hair follicles. So don't be discouraged if you don't see a drastic difference right away - give it some time and let PRF do its thing.
Choosing a clinic for PRF eyebrow treatment
When choosing a clinic for the best PRF eyebrow treatment, research is key. Look up clinics in your area, read reviews, and book a consultation to ask questions and get a feel for the clinic. Cost is important, but don't base your decision solely on price. Make sure you feel comfortable with the staff and confident in their ability to give you the results you want.
Those who should avoid PRF eyebrow treatment
PRF eyebrow treatment is generally safe, but it is not suitable for everyone. People with active infections in the area, skin conditions or skin cancer in the area to be treated, or people who are pregnant or breastfeeding, should avoid the treatment.
It is important to talk to a doctor before undergoing any aesthetic treatment to determine if it is right for you. If you are not a candidate for PRF eyebrow treatment, your doctor may suggest alternative treatments that are safe and effective for you.
The price for PRF eyebrow treatment is
3990kr for 1 treatment and
9990kr for a course of 3 times.
