From beginning to end my experience with Dr.Leedy and his team has been amazing! Dr. Leedy helped me made my breast look even better than they did prior to having five children. Having never been put under anesthesia I was extremely nervous but everyone helped eased my nerves and the procedure went flawlessly. I am very happy with my results and the Cleveland Plastic Surgery Institute will be my go to for any future cosmetic procedures. Thank you for help getting my confidence back!
At Cleveland Plastic Surgery Institute Med Spa, we believe that the most powerful tools for rejuvenation come from within. Our PRF treatment in Cleveland, OH (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is a cutting-edge, natural option for patients looking to restore youthful skin, brighten under-eye circles, or combat thinning hair—all without surgery.
Conveniently located in Mayfield Heights, our practice brings world-class aesthetic care to the greater Cleveland area, offering you advanced regenerative solutions that align with your body’s natural healing process.
What Is PRF &
How Does It Work?
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a next-generation regenerative treatment derived entirely from your own blood. Unlike PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), PRF is processed without anticoagulants and spun at a lower speed, preserving more healing components such as platelets, white blood cells, stem cells, and growth factors.
Here’s how it works:
- We draw a small sample of your blood right here in our Cleveland med spa.
- It’s spun in a specialized centrifuge to isolate the PRF layer.
- This layer is then injected or applied to the treatment area—face, scalp, or under eyes.
- Over the next several weeks, PRF promotes collagen production, cell regeneration, and tissue healing.
This slow, sustained release of growth factors sets PRF apart from other treatments.

What Conditions Can PRF Treat?
Though both PRP and PRF use your own blood to stimulate healing, PRF has clear advantages:
Facial Rejuvenation
PRF can smooth fine lines, improve skin texture, and restore volume in areas like:
- Smile lines
- Crow’s feet
- Forehead wrinkles
- Acne scarring
Hair Restoration
Thinning at the crown or temples? PRF stimulates hair follicles and increases blood flow to the scalp, leading to:
- Increased hair thickness
- Reduced hair shedding
- Stronger, healthier follicles
Under-Eye Rejuvenation
If you suffer from dark circles or under-eye hollowness, PRF provides a gentle, effective solution—without the risks sometimes associated with fillers.
We specialize in non-surgical hair restoration for both men and women in the Cleveland area.
