PRF for Lip Injections in Birmingham, MI
Get StartedAt Between the Lines Aesthetics, we offer Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) lip injections as an innovative, natural option to enhance lip volume and rejuvenation. Unlike traditional fillers, PRF is a volumizer and collagen stimulator that gradually enhances lip fullness and texture, providing a subtle yet effective boost to natural beauty. If you’re looking for a lip enhancement solution that emphasizes natural-looking results, PRF may be your ideal choice.
What Is PRF for Lip Injections?
PRF is a newer, more advanced PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) specially formulated to offer superior collagen stimulation and volume enhancement results. While PRP is more commonly used for scalp hair rejuvenation, PRF excels in facial volumizing. This treatment involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to extract a concentration of fibrin, growth factors, and platelets, and injecting it into the lips to stimulate collagen production.
PRF acts like a natural filler, promoting volume, firmness, and texture in the lips without relying on synthetic materials. The treatment is minimally invasive, and since the substance comes from your body, there is a very low risk of allergic reactions.
Who is a Candidate For PRF Lip Injections?
PRF lip injections are suitable for individuals looking to enhance their lips with natural, subtle results. PRF may be a great fit for you if you want to add volume to your lips, improve lip texture, or soften fine lines around the mouth.
PRF also benefits those looking to stimulate their body’s collagen production for long-term results. Since PRF is made from your blood, the risk of allergic reactions is minimal, making it a safe option for most patients.
What Can I Expect During A PRF Treatment?
PRF lip injections are a quick and relatively painless procedure. After an initial consultation to assess your goals, we’ll draw a small amount of your blood and process it to separate the platelet-rich fibrin from other components. Once the PRF is prepared, it’s carefully injected into the lips.
Initially, you may see some immediate fullness in your lips, but as the treatment stimulates collagen over the next 4 to 6 weeks, the full results develop. The number of treatments needed varies depending on your desired results, but typically, 1 to 2 treatments spaced about a month apart are recommended for optimal enhancement. Patients can expect their results to last for months, but with two treatments, results can last for up to a year.
What Are the Benefits of PRF Lip Injections?
PRF offers a range of benefits, making it a standout option for individuals seeking natural lip enhancement:
- Stimulates your body’s natural collagen production
- Offers long-lasting fullness and texture
- Little to no risk of allergic reactions
- Ensures that lip volume increases in a subtle, natural way
- Requires minimal downtime
- Helps improve the overall texture and smoothness of your lips
- Doesn’t rely on synthetic materials or chemicals.
For those seeking a natural yet effective alternative to traditional fillers, PRF offers a rejuvenating solution that builds beauty from within.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do PRF injections do?
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) injections use your body’s own platelets and growth factors to stimulate tissue regeneration, collagen production, and healing. Unlike PRP, PRF releases growth factors more slowly, leading to prolonged benefits in skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, and wound healing.
What areas does PRF treat?
PRF injections are used to treat several areas, including the under-eye area for dark circles and hollowness, the scalp for hair restoration, and the face for skin rejuvenation. It is also used for deeper restorations, encouraging the healing process in deep tissue.
What is the difference between PRF and PRP?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) are both derived from your blood, but they differ in preparation and effectiveness. PRF contains more platelets, white blood cells, and fibrin, which allows it to release growth factors over a longer period.
How much does PRF cost?
The cost of PRF injections varies depending on the provider, treatment area, and the number of sessions needed. Patients concerned about pricing should discuss their financing options during the initial consultation.
How long do PRF injections last?
Results from PRF injections can last between six months and a year, depending on the treatment area and individual factors such as skin condition and lifestyle. Maintenance treatments may be recommended every few months to sustain optimal results.
How many PRF treatments do you need?
Most patients require an initial series of two to three PRF treatments, spaced approximately four to six weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. Following the initial series, maintenance treatments are administered every six to twelve months.
Who cannot get PRF injections?
PRF injections may not be suitable for individuals with blood disorders, active infections, certain autoimmune conditions, or those taking anticoagulant medications. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should also consult with their healthcare provider before undergoing PRF treatment.
Can I drink caffeine after PRF?
It is recommended to avoid caffeine for at least 24 hours after PRF injections, as it can constrict blood vessels and potentially reduce circulation. This may affect the treatment’s effectiveness. Hydrating well and maintaining a healthy diet can help support the healing process.
How long is the downtime for PRF?
PRF treatments have minimal downtime, with most patients experiencing mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site for one to two days. Some individuals may have slight tenderness for a few days, but normal activities can usually be resumed immediately after treatment.
What is better, PRP or PRF?
PRF is often considered superior to PRP for aesthetic and regenerative treatments because it releases growth factors more gradually. However, PRP may be preferable for certain cases that require a more immediate boost in healing. The best choice depends on your specific needs and treatment goals.
