PRP/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.

Platelet Rich Fibrin treatments use platelet-rich fibrin from the patient’s blood without any additives. The treatment forms a clot under the skin the same way a filler does without synthetic additives.

The Beauty Fix Way: It’s one of our favorite treatments. Anyone can really benefit from PRF especially around the eyes. Here’s a breakdown of how it works:

Blood Draw: A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm.

Processing: The blood is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the red and white blood cells from the platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The PRP is further processed to create a fibrin matrix.

Injection: The PRF is injected into the targeted areas of your face, such as the cheeks, forehead, or around the eyes.

Fibrin Matrix: The fibrin matrix acts as a natural scaffold, stimulating the growth of new collagen and elastin fibers.

Growth Factors: The PRP contains growth factors that promote tissue repair and regeneration.

Cellular Activity: These factors stimulate cellular activity, leading to improved skin texture, reduced wrinkles, and increased skin elasticity.
