Prf/PRP

PRF, or platelet-rich fibrin, is the next generation treatment of platelet concentrate. PRF is a fibrin matrix comprised of platelet cytokines, growth factors, and cells used to help promote skin rejuvenation, hair growth, and wound healing.


Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is used to hasten healing of musculoskeletal injuries (commonly used by professional athletes) and also helps with the healing of the skin and can reduce redness and inflammation that can occur during and after the microneedling procedure. The fibrin is simple to prepare: A sample of the patient’s own blood is spun in a centrifuge to isolate the platelets, then the concentrated platelet-rich fibrin is applied to the skin during the microneedling procedure. The idea is to stimulate the healing process right where it’s needed most. There is little risk of rejection or allergic reaction, because PRF is made from the patient’s own blood.


Platelet-rich fibrin, or PRF, is a completely natural aesthetic injectable that can rejuvenate the appearance of your face. Using a concentration of your blood (PRF), it can restore a more youthful, smooth appearance for many patients. The injections also continue to work overtime, therefore promoting the generation of new collagen. This treatment is best done in a series to achieve the best results. Patients may also choose to do a combination of hyaluronic acid filler mixed with PRF to get an even better result.
