Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment involves the collection of your blood (approximately 8 – 16ml), then the blood is spun down using a centrifuge to separate out the plasma and platelet portion which contain high concentrations of growth factor. The PRP portion of your blood is then used at the point of care to re-energize your cells into rejuvenating themselves. The product injected is 100% your own blood (autologous) by-product.
PRF is an advanced form of PRP which uses the fibrin matrix which contains a richer source of growth factors used to regenerate cells. PRP and PRF injections can be used to increase collagen stimulation after facial procedures such as microneedling. PRP and PRF injections are also used to regenerate hair growth on the scalp by reactivating dormant hair follicles.
