PRF Treatment in Davie, FL
Platelet-rich fibrin from your own blood, placed where your skin has thinned or lost its glow.Using What Your Body Already Makes
At GEN2 Dentistry in Davie, FL, Dr. Paul Garcia offers platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) treatment through CARE Esthetics. He prepares PRF from a small sample of your own blood and places it where your skin has thinned or lost its glow, so your body's own growth factors do the refreshing, with nothing synthetic added.
A familiar tool in a new setting
PRF is not new to us. Dr. Garcia has used it for twelve or thirteen years in extractions, implants, gum surgery and sinus lifts, anywhere he wants the body to heal faster with less swelling and less discomfort. CARE Esthetics brings that same biology to the face, and Dr. Garcia most recently trained with Dr. Richard Miron in PRF microneedling and full-face rejuvenation.
From a small blood draw to your skin
We draw a few small tubes of blood, the same quick pinch as routine lab work. The tubes spin in our Bio-PRF centrifuge for about eight minutes, the heavier red cells settle to the bottom, and the golden layer that rises to the top is the part we use. Dr. Garcia then places that PRF with a fine needle in the areas you want to refresh, such as under the eyes or around the mouth.
How PRF compares with PRP
If you have heard of PRP, sometimes called the vampire facial, you already know the idea. Dr. Garcia describes PRF as a second generation of PRP: it still comes from your blood, but it is prepared without the additives PRP relies on, and the research he follows shows the way PRF is collected now gives your tissue more to work with.
Knowing where PRF fits best
PRF refreshes skin, and it does not relax muscles. As Dr. Garcia tells patients, PRF is not a replacement for Botox or any other neuromodulator, and it is not a replacement for surgery or a facelift. It actually helps when you do Botox as well, so many patients pair the two. We talk through what each option can and cannot do before you decide, and you can read more on our Botox page.

What patients ask us
Which areas can PRF treatment help?
Patients most often ask about the thin skin under the eyes, fine lines around the mouth and eyes, crepey texture and dark spots. PRF is also part of PRF microneedling and our Bio-Lift and Bio-Care facials. Dr. Garcia looks at your face as a whole at your consultation and suggests where PRF would make a real difference.
Why do people choose PRF over synthetic products?
Because it comes from you. Nothing is manufactured or borrowed from another source, which appeals to people who want to look rested without putting a foreign substance in their face. It is the same reason Dr. Garcia has relied on PRF in oral surgery for years: your own cells doing the healing work.
How long does a PRF visit take?
The blood draw takes a few minutes and the spin takes about eight more, then Dr. Garcia places the PRF. Most of the visit is preparation, and you can head back to your day afterward. We give you the timing for your own plan when you book, so you know what to expect before you arrive.
Will I see results right away?
PRF works with your body's own healing, so the change builds gradually and looks natural. Some people notice a fresher look within days, and texture keeps improving in the weeks that follow. It is not a one-session miracle, and Dr. Garcia may suggest a short series to reach the result you are hoping for.
Frequently asked questions
How much does PRF treatment cost in Davie, FL?
Your cost depends on the areas you want to treat and how many visits your plan includes, so we never quote one price for everyone. At your consultation in our Davie office, Dr. Garcia listens to what you would like to change, recommends a plan, and gives you the full cost before anything begins.
What is PRF made of?
Platelets are cells in your blood that are rich in growth factors, the signals your body uses to heal. PRF gathers them, along with the fibrin that forms a natural clot, from a small sample of your blood drawn in our Davie office, so the treatment is made entirely from you.
Does the blood draw for PRF hurt?
It feels like routine lab work: a quick pinch in the arm while we fill a few small tubes. If needles make you nervous, tell us when you book with GEN2 in Davie. We can have you lie back, talk you through each step, and take the draw as slowly as you like.
Can I combine PRF with Botox?
Yes, and many patients do. PRF refreshes the skin, while Botox relaxes the muscles that create expression lines, so the two work on different things, and Dr. Garcia notes that PRF helps when you do Botox as well. He plans the combination around your face at your consultation in Davie.
Is facial PRF the same PRF used in dental surgery?
It is the same biology. In our Davie office, Dr. Garcia uses PRF after extractions, implants and gum surgery to help the area heal faster with less swelling. For the face, the PRF is prepared in a different form and placed in the skin, but the idea is the same: your own cells doing the work.
