PRP / PRF Treatment

What is PRP?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is an innovative treatment that harnesses the power of your own blood to rejuvenate your skin. By injecting a concentrated solution of platelets—cells packed with growth factors—into the skin, PRP stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, enhancing skin texture and tone while reducing the appearance of scars and stretch marks.

What is PRF?

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a more advanced version of PRP. It utilizes a specialized preparation process that yields a higher concentration of platelets and a more potent release of growth factors. PRF also contains fibrin, a protein that supports tissue repair and regeneration, making it highly effective for promoting overall skin health.

The Process

The PRP process begins with a simple blood draw, after which the platelets are isolated and concentrated into a serum. This serum is then injected into the targeted treatment area. In contrast, PRF injections involve adding a fibrin matrix to the platelets, creating a cohesive and stable injectable product that enhances the treatment’s effectiveness.

Benefits

PRP injections are ideal for improving skin texture and tone, minimizing fine lines and wrinkles, and promoting a youthful appearance. PRF injections, on the other hand, focus on enhancing overall skin health and stimulating collagen production, making them excellent for more comprehensive rejuvenation.

Duration of Results

While PRP injections may offer noticeable results, their effects typically last for a shorter period compared to PRF injections. PRF treatments tend to provide longer-lasting benefits due to the enhanced growth factors and fibrin content.

Conclusion

Both PRP and PRF injections are effective solutions for enhancing skin health and appearance, including in delicate areas like under the eyes.
