What is PRF Treatment?
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a second generation to Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP). PRF, is an all-natural solution that can treat areas in the face that show the first signs of aging, like under-eye hollows, deflated cheeks and in the scalp for hair restoration.
Harvested PRP has platelets, fibrin and white blood cells, which helps achieve wound healing, collagen production and improved elasticity. PRF contains a very high concentration of white blood cells, fibrin and a small number of stem cells found circulating in our bloodstream.
PRF becomes a gel after 15 to 20 minutes of being isolated and immediately upon being injected into the face or scalp. This process allows it to be used for cosmetic volume and hair restoration.
Benefits of PRF
- Compared to PRP, PRF is less processed, gentler centrifugation, less manipulation
- Gives patients the same benefits as PRP, while aslo releasing more growth factors over time. That means it continues to work for you even after the procedure is done
- Improves skin texture and brightens complexion
- Repairs damaged skin cells
- Fosters collagen production
- Boosts stem cell rejuvenation
- Stimulates growth factors to aid in skin rejuvenation & increase skin volume
- Very low risk, because it uses the patient's own blood
How can PRF be used?
- Can be used as filler on its own or blended with Sculptra (plasmasculpt) or with HA. This may require multiple treatments
- Certainly proven to help with texturing, wrinkles, and bringing in stem cells. Great for the tear trough area.
- As topical after micro needling
- Treatment for thinning hair
- Enhances fat graft volume retention
- Helps with acne scarring
How long does the results last?
PRF is performed in a series of treatments, spaced six to eight weeks apart. Results typically last one to three weeks and the volume will essentially dissipate. Long-term effects, such as skin tightening, collagen production and enhanced skin quality, may take up to three to four months to be noticed and can last from six to 12 months. The visibility of expected benefits and results of the PRF treatment is typically seen after six weeks from initial treatment.
Am I a candidate for this procedure?
Most people are a good candidate for PRF treatments, depending on each individual’s concerns. PRF can actually thin the hyaluronic acid filler and allow for a smoother, more natural-looking injection for patients seeking filler treatment but have thin skin.
