What is the Difference Between PRP and PRF?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) are both derived from a patient’s own blood, but they differ in their preparation and composition.
PRP is created by spinning a blood sample in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from the rest of the blood components. The resulting PRP contains a high concentration of platelets, which are essential for wound healing and tissue regeneration.
PRF, on the other hand, is prepared using a lower-speed centrifugation process. This results in a fibrin-rich clot that contains both platelets and a fibrin matrix. The fibrin matrix provides a scaffolding for cell growth and tissue repair.
While both PRP and PRF can be used for facial rejuvenation, the choice between the two may depend on the specific treatment goals and the patient’s individual needs.
