Healthy Cells for Healthy Skin and Hair
What is Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)?
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a fibrin matrix that acts as a resorbable membrane, trapping platelet cytokines, growth factors, and cells. Recent research has demonstrated that autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRF) can be used in various medical procedures. In the cosmetic world, PRF injections made just under the skin yield impressive results when used to rejuvenate, lift, and smooth skin on the face, hands, and elsewhere. PRF injections can also be used on the scalp to stimulate natural hair regrowth.
In addition to neuromodulators like Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau, we also offer platelet-rich fibrin injectables to add your body’s own restorative powers to your injectable treatment plan. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is like a second generation of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP).
PRF is an all-natural solution that can rejuvenate areas in the face that show the first signs of aging, like under-eyes, deflated cheeks, smile lines, lips, and the scalp, for hair restoration. PRF is derived from a simple blood draw done in-office. The whole blood is then spun down in a centrifuge. The PRF is drawn from the tubes. Depending on the treatment, different types of PRF can be generated, such as liquid PRF, concentrated liquid PRF, or PRF gel filler. If it is a simple liquid PRF session, such as for the under-eyes, then the procedure only takes about 15 minutes. If PRF gel filler is chosen for the treatment, the process takes an additional 15 minutes since it requires a few more steps in the preparation process.
