PRP/PRF
The Body’s Own Healing Powers
A more natural alternative to injecting synthetics for a more visible and youthful appearance.
Recently, more and more people have received platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment because it is effective in treating injuries. PRP injections can stop the progression of arthritis, alleviate painful symptoms, delay joint replacement surgeries, and promote healing and natural hair growth.
What Is PRP/PRF?
Introduced in 2000 as a more advanced form of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) is an all-natural treatment for facial rejuvenation in areas that show early indications of aging, such as under-eye hollows, deflated cheeks, and thinning hair. PRF for facial rejuvenation can lead to regenerated cellular development. Repeated treatments can help remove problems like fine lines, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and more.
Initially designed as a tissue engineering scaffold for wound healing, PRP/PRF treatments therapy works on the basis that the body’s own natural healing powers may slow and even reverse the aging process – It’s a revolutionary repair system that places growth factors in the exact location where we want the skin to repair and rejuvenate itself. And, it’s a more natural alternative to injecting synthetics.
How Does It Work?
PRP/PRF is generated by extracting platelets and other healing and rejuvenating components from the patient’s own blood in order to inject them into problem areas. Before the procedure, blood is taken from the patient and put into a centrifuge which separates the red and white blood cells from the platelet plasma which is the component of the blood that is known for being highly effective in treating burns and skin injuries.
When the platelet plasma is injected into the skin, the platelets release their growth factors. The growth factors stimulate other cells surrounding the injection site, plumping them up and causing them to increase in volume. The platelet plasma sends out signals to other cells in the body when it is injected, telling them to rush forward to the injection site. PRP/PRF is a more natural option for facial rejuvenation than dermal fillers.

PRP/PRF FAQs
What is the difference between PRF and PRP?
Platelet Rich Fibrin is a variation of another treatment called Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy. But what is the difference between them? Athletes who want to speed up their recovery during the healing process use PRP injections. So, just as PRP accelerates a body’s healing process, PRF helps skin tissues to regenerate.
Unlike PRP, which has platelets rich in plasma, PRF contains growth factors, platelets, white blood cells, stem cells, and fibrin clot.
Because PRF has higher numbers of leukocytes (white blood cells), platelets, and specific stem cells not seen in PRP, it generates better outcomes. Leukocytes are natural healers that target problem regions with a regulated inflammatory response, while stem cells assist in regenerating new cells and platelets drive collagen formation and rejuvenation.
Is the procedure safe?
PRP/PRF is a very safe procedure. Injections have few adverse effects or risks since they are made with your blood and include no extra chemicals or drugs.
How long does PRF last?
PRF consists of a series of six to eight treatments spaced six to eight weeks apart. The volume will virtually disappear after one to three weeks of results.
What are the side effects?
Mild discomfort, swelling, stiffness, and moderate bruising are the only possible adverse effects. With topical anesthetic, they can be quickly alleviated. If you do have pain, it is advised that you use a cold compress and an over-the-counter pain reliever such as acetaminophen. After that, you should wear sun protection.
