PRF (Platelet- Rich Fibrin) Therapy
100% NATURAL REJUVENATION USING YOUR OWN CELLS
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is the second generation of platelet-rich plasma
(PRP). Platelet rich fibrin application is now becoming more popular and is
widely used for skin and hair regeneration treatments.
The Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) technique uses the latest generation of Smart Blood Concentrates to generate a complex Fibrin Matrix rich in Platelets, Leukocytes and Mesenchymal stem cells. For 10-12 days this results in the constant release of Growth factors and interleukins which accelerate tissue healing and regenerating processes.
PRF can be injected or used after micro-needling into the face. Popular areas include under eyes, forehead lines, crow’s feet, lip lines, laugh lines, cheeks and marionette lines. It is also injected into the scalp and eyebrows to stimulate hair growth.
What Can PRF Treatment Be Used For?
- Reduction of facial wrinkles and ageing skin
- Improves dry or oily facial skin
- Stimulates hair growth (Scalp and Eyebrows)
- Reduces skin scars caused by acne
- Acne scarring
- Hair loss
PRF Procedure
A sample of your blood will be collected and then prepared/purified using special equipment. The PRF serum produced can be injected or used after micro-needling into the face – under eyes, forehead lines, crow’s feet, lip lines, laugh lines, cheeks and marionette lines. It is also injected into the scalp and eyebrows to stimulate hair growth.
How is PRF Different from PRP?
The PRF products are spun at a lower speed so that the layers of the blood do not separate out as distinctly. This allows some of the white blood cells and stem cells to remain within the platelet layer that is collected for treatment. Thus, there are more growth factors within PRF than is typically seen in PRP. In addition, the lower spin speed causes less trauma to the individual cells of the blood, allowing more stem cells to remain in the final PRF product.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this treatment suitable for me?
Patients with blood clotting disorders will be unable to take advantage of this treatment.
Is PRF a safe treatment?
PRF is completely safe. The blood used will come from your own body, which means that disease transmission is not a factor. Almost all patients report a much greater degree of comfort immediately after their procedure.
How long will the results last for?
The benefit of PRF Therapy can be permanent, though skin does continue to age and deteriorate even after receiving treatments and as such, wrinkles may start appearing 9-18 months afterwards. Touch-up treatments are available.
Are there any side-effects?
You should expect some initial swelling and redness for 12-24 hours after the treatment. Some patients have small bruises around the treated region.
How often should I have treatment?
PRF is performed in a series of three or six treatments, spaced 4 weeks apart.
When will I see the results of PRF?
The first changes after PRF treatment are seen within a couple of weeks. The main effect is reached in about six to eight weeks from initial treatment. 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.
