Facial Rejuvenation Cluj-Napoca

PRF (Platelet Rich Fibrin) represents the second generation of platelet concentrate therapies and is currently considered the most advanced form of autologous biological therapy available in facial aesthetics. Unlike PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma), PRF contains a three-dimensional fibrin matrix that acts as a natural scaffold for growth factors, ensuring their slow, sustained release over time — translating into a more prolonged and complete regenerative effect.

The PRF procedure begins with a simple venous blood draw (similar to a routine blood test), which is immediately processed by centrifugation at specific parameters. No anticoagulant or other substance is added — everything is natural, from patient to patient. The concentrate obtained is immediately injected into areas of interest: skin, periorbital zone, forehead, cheeks, neck or scalp.

Growth factors released from platelets — PDGF, TGF-β, VEGF, EGF and others — stimulate fibroblasts to produce new collagen, elastin and endogenous hyaluronic acid. Results are progressive: skin becomes firmer, more luminous and better hydrated within 4–8 weeks, with effects continuing to evolve for 3–6 months. Unlike filler, PRF does not add immediate volume but improves the intrinsic quality of the skin.

PRF is ideal for patients seeking natural improvement without external substances, or those with uneven skin texture, loss of luminosity, fine lines and early laxity. It is also excellent as a complementary treatment to dermal fillers — combined, filler adds volume and contour while PRF improves overall skin quality for a more complete, natural result.

The standard protocol involves 2–3 sessions at 4-week intervals, followed by maintenance sessions every 6–12 months. The procedure is well tolerated with minimal discomfort, and side effects are limited to mild bruising and transient redness lasting 24–48 hours. Since your own blood is used, there is no risk of allergic reaction or incompatibility.

The first 24 hours after injection are the most important for optimal results. Avoid massaging or pressing on treated areas (unless specifically instructed by the doctor), avoid bending your head down for prolonged periods and avoid strenuous physical activity on the day of the procedure. These measures prevent filler migration before it settles in the tissue.

Applying cold compresses (not ice directly on skin) in the first few hours reduces swelling and bruising. Post-injection swelling is normal and resolves within 24–72 hours; bruising, more common at the lips and periorbital area, may persist 5–7 days. Make-up may be applied from the second day if there are no skin lesions.

Avoid extreme heat — sauna, sunbeds, hot baths, direct sunlight — for at least 2 weeks. Heat accelerates filler metabolism and can reduce the duration of the effect. Use SPF 30–50 sun protection daily, regardless of season — this is one of the most effective long-term skin maintenance measures.

Internal hydration matters: drink adequate water to support the hydrating effect of hyaluronic acid. Collagen supplements, vitamin C and zinc may support endogenous collagen production, especially in combination with PRF. Discuss any supplements with your doctor in the context of your treatment.

Avoid alcohol on the day of and 24 hours before the procedure (alcohol increases bruising risk). Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (ibuprofen, aspirin) and supplements with anticoagulant effect (high-dose omega-3, vitamin E, ginkgo biloba) should be avoided for 5–7 days beforehand if possible, for the same reason. Inform the doctor if you take prescribed anticoagulants — these should never be stopped without medical advice.

The final filler result settles at 2–3 weeks after the procedure, once all swelling has resolved. Before/after comparative photographs taken at the 2-week check-up provide objective documentation. PRF requires 4–8 weeks for the first visible effects, with continued improvement throughout the protocol.

Cluj-Napoca is one of Romania's most dynamic medical centres, with a growing offer of facial aesthetic services. Precisely for this reason, selecting a provider for hyaluronic acid or PRF treatments must go beyond geographical convenience or price — the physician's competence, product quality and safety protocol are the elements that determine the outcome and safety of the procedure.

At BioEstetic Dent, non-surgical facial aesthetics are performed by the clinic's maxillofacial surgery specialist, with dedicated training and experience in injectable treatments in a genuine medical context. We are not a beauty salon with added medical services, but a medical dental clinic with extended specialisation in facial aesthetics — from dento-facial treatment to non-surgical rejuvenation.

Patients from Cluj-Napoca and surrounding counties — Cluj, Bihor, Sălaj, Mureș, Alba — choose BioEstetic Dent because they find, in one place, complete medical expertise for facial care: from dental and gingival health, to smile aesthetics and facial rejuvenation. The coherence of care, knowledge of the patient's medical history and a long-term trust relationship are arguments that a salon or a pop-up clinic cannot offer.

Consultation appointments for facial rejuvenation can be booked through the clinic's contact form, phone or online booking platforms. At the first visit, the doctor will evaluate your face, discuss your objectives and present a complete treatment plan — without obligation and without pressure. Transparency is our fundamental value.

If you have previously had filler treatments elsewhere and wish for an evaluation or continuation of prior treatment, the doctor will assess the current situation and determine the safest and most effective way to proceed, including selective dissolving of previous fillers where appropriate.
