PRF

PLATELET RICH FIBRIN

PRF is a revolutionary advancement from traditional PRP, it contains a much higher concentration of growth factors, (10x the amount!), leukocytes and mesechymal stem cells. The rich concentration of these properties are powerful for healing, treating the signs of aging, improving skin quality, dark under eye circles and fine lines. PRF contains a fibrin matrix which acts as a scaffold and is effective in treating under eye hollowing and deeper wrinkles. It is recommended to do 3-4 treatments of PRF 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results. This treatment has minimal downtime, is safe and 100% natural.

PRF VS PRP

PRF has 10x the growth factors compared to traditional PRP

PRF is spun at a lower speed and for a shorter time than PRP. While PRP separates red blood cells and platelets, leaving only a third of the plasma rich in growth factors PRF achieves nearly 100% platelet recovery. This makes PRF richer in growth factors, which is vital for cell regeneration and healing.

Release of growth factors over a longer period compared to PRP

PRF releases growth factors steadily over a period of up to 10 days whereas PRP releases growth factors over a 24 hour period. This rapid release of growth factors has early healing benefits without long term improvement. PRF has an overall higher release of growth factors due to the slow and steady release

100% Natural

Many promote PRP as entirely natural since it is derived from your own blood; however, the tubes contain anticoagulants to prevent clotting, making it less natural than we are led to believe. In contrast, PRF tubes have no additives or anticoagulants, making them fully autologous, which ensures they are 100% natural and carry a lower risk of adverse reactions.

Why are growth factors so important?

Growth factors play a key roll in cell turnover, strengthening the skins barrier, stimulating collagen, improving hydration and skin quality

The centrifuge matters

You may ask your provider to change the settings on the centrifuge to produce PRF- this is not possible. The centrifuge is vital when it comes to PRF and I recommend only going to a provider that has a centrifuge specifically made and studied for PRF.

If the centrifuge is not backed by literature, no one has tested the actual concentration of growth factors, platelets and cells in the fibrin, therefore you may not see any results.

What to expect at your PRF appointment

We do a blood draw and then spin the tube with the blood in the centrifuge. After the spin cycle is completed, we will extract the highly concentrated PRF from the tube and inject it in the area of concern
Expect to have swelling if treating the underyes for 2-3 days. You could also experience a small pinpoint bruise at injection site
Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours, extreme temperatures, avoid touching or rubbing the area.
Recommend 3-4 treatments, 4-6 weeks apart
