The Future of Aesthetic Rejuvenation: PRF at Shafer Clinic NYC -

In a world where science and self-care intersect, Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is emerging as the next evolution in regenerative treatments. Dr. Shafer and his team at Shafer Clinic NYC are proud to introduce this cutting-edge innovation—a natural, non-invasive solution designed to rejuvenate, heal, and restore from the inside out. PRF harnesses your body’s own regenerative potential, offering a transformative approach that’s as unique as you are.

What sets PRF apart is its unparalleled ability to stimulate healing using the power of your own blood. Unlike its predecessor, PRP, PRF delivers an even more potent blend of growth factors and cells, making it the latest breakthrough in cosmetic and wellness treatments. Imagine revitalizing your skin, restoring lost volume, or promoting hair growth without synthetic fillers or chemicals—just your body’s innate ability to heal itself.
At Shafer Clinic NYC, this breakthrough isn’t just about science—it’s about empowerment. It’s about giving patients the opportunity to feel their best, look their best, and embrace their most confident selves. Curious about how PRF can enhance your beauty routine or target specific concerns? Dr. Shafer is here to answer your questions and share his expertise on this life-enhancing treatment.

PRF for Face and Under-Eye Rejuvenation: The Ultimate Anti-Aging Solution
One of the most sought-after applications of PRF is for facial and under-eye rejuvenation. As we age, collagen production slows, leading to volume loss, fine lines, and skin laxity. The delicate under-eye area is often one of the first places to show signs of aging, with dark circles, hollowing, and crepey skin becoming more prominent over time.
PRF is a game-changing alternative to traditional dermal fillers for facial and under-eye rejuvenation. By leveraging your body’s own growth factors, PRF stimulates collagen and elastin production, naturally restoring volume, improving skin texture, and reducing fine lines. Unlike fillers, which simply add volume, PRF enhances skin quality over time, creating a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

At Shafer Clinic NYC, Dr. Shafer expertly injects PRF into key areas of the face and under the eyes, promoting long-term rejuvenation. The treatment works by gradually improving skin thickness, elasticity, and hydration, making it ideal for patients looking for a natural, long-lasting solution to aging.

Why Choose PRF for Under-Eye Rejuvenation?
Natural & Safe: Uses your own blood, eliminating the risk of allergic reactions.
Improves Skin Quality: Unlike fillers, PRF regenerates skin from within.
Reduces Dark Circles & Hollows: Increases blood circulation and collagen production for a refreshed, youthful look.
Long-Lasting Results: Results develop gradually and continue improving over time.
PRF is the ideal non-surgical option for patients who want a refreshed, youthful glow without synthetic injectables. Whether used alone or paired with energy-based treatments like microneedling or laser resurfacing, PRF takes skin rejuvenation to the next level.

PRF: The Secret to Ageless Hands
While PRF is widely recognized for its skin-rejuvenating effects on the face, neck, and décolletage, one of the most overlooked yet transformative uses of this treatment is for hand rejuvenation. Hands are often the first area to reveal signs of aging, with thinning skin, volume loss, and prominent veins making them a telltale sign of age.
PRF is a game-changer in hand rejuvenation, offering a natural, long-lasting solution to restore volume, improve skin texture, and stimulate collagen production. By injecting PRF into the hands, Dr. Shafer can help patients achieve smoother, more youthful-looking hands without the need for synthetic fillers. The treatment promotes tissue regeneration, plumping the skin while enhancing elasticity and hydration.
The result? Ageless, radiant hands that match the youthful vibrancy of your face. Whether used alone or in combination with laser treatments, PRF is the perfect solution for those looking to maintain a seamless, youthful appearance from head to toe.

Inside the PRF Experience: A Conversation with Dr. Shafer

INLOVE: Dr. Shafer, PRF is being called the next generation of regenerative treatments. What makes it so revolutionary compared to PRP or other cosmetic trends?
Dr. Shafer: PRF bridges a gap in treatment that we’ve struggled with for years. In the ongoing battle against time and gravity, we’ve developed many ways to slow the aging process, but very few non-surgical options to truly reverse it. PRF changes that. Most people have heard of PRP, but PRF is the next generation—it’s more powerful, longer-lasting, and offers even greater regenerative benefits.

INLOVE: What inspired you to introduce PRF to Shafer Clinic, and how do you see it transforming the lives of your patients?
Dr. Shafer: One of our longtime patients asked if we offered PRF, and at the time, we only provided PRP. As I researched further, I realized PRF had the potential to elevate our treatments to a whole new level. Over the past 10 months since its introduction, demand has steadily increased, and we’ve fully integrated PRF into both our treatment rooms and the operating room.
PRF is an incredible, natural addition to any skincare regimen. Paired with laser resurfacing and energy-based treatments, it accelerates recovery while enhancing results. We’ve also seen incredible benefits in surgery—faster healing, thinner scars, better fat graft retention, and overall improved skin quality. The possibilities with PRF are endless!

INLOVE: Can you walk us through what a typical PRF treatment entails? How do you ensure the best outcomes for your patients?
Dr. Shafer: PRF treatments begin with a consultation to discuss your goals and targeted areas. Once we establish a treatment plan, we draw a small sample of your blood, which is then processed in our lab to extract the serum—what we like to call “liquid gold.”
PRF processing takes about 20–25 minutes, during which we can apply numbing if desired. Once the PRF is ready, we inject it into the designated areas using a cannula for precision.
To ensure the best results, we advise patients to eat a nutritious meal the night before and stay well-hydrated with electrolytes. Proper preparation helps optimize the quality of the PRF and enhances treatment outcomes.

INLOVE: What concerns does PRF address most effectively, and who is the ideal candidate?
Dr. Shafer: Almost anyone can benefit from PRF. We recommend maintenance treatments at least once a year to help slow the aging process. Most patients start with a series of three treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
PRF is especially effective for under-eye hollowing, neck laxity, sagging cheeks, and, as we discussed, hand rejuvenation. It also enhances overall skin health, delivering a natural glow and youthful rejuvenation.

INLOVE: Some people are hesitant about a treatment that uses their own blood. What would you say to them?
Dr. Shafer: PRF is the safest and most personalized treatment available. If you’re comfortable with a routine blood draw at your doctor’s office, you’ll have no problem with PRF. And no, you won’t be left looking like a “bloody mess.” The only blood involved is from the initial draw. The rest of the treatment uses your purified serum—our “liquid gold.”
While the concept of using your own blood might seem unconventional at first, it’s actually one of the most natural ways to support your skin’s healing process. PRF simply concentrates what your body already does, delivering targeted, powerful results.
