PRP is created by drawing a small amount of blood and spinning it in a centrifuge to concentrate platelets in the plasma. Platelets contain growth factors that may support collagen production and tissue repair. PRP is commonly used in aesthetic medicine for skin revitalization and hair restoration.
PRF is a newer evolution of platelet-based therapy. It is processed differently to form a fibrin matrix (a natural scaffold) that can allow a slower release of growth factors compared to PRP. PRF is frequently selected for delicate areas (such as the under-eye region) or for patients seeking a more gradual regenerative approach.
Important note: Results vary, and no regenerative treatment can guarantee outcomes. Your provider will review what’s realistic for your needs during your consult.
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) and PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) are regenerative treatments that use components from your own blood to support natural collagen production and tissue repair. Many patients choose PRF/PRP to improve overall skin quality, address the look of fine lines and uneven texture, soften the appearance of acne scarring, and support fuller-looking hair in areas of thinning.
