Harnessing Your Body’s Natural Healing Power
What Are PRP and PRF?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) are regenerative treatments that use your own blood to naturally promote healing, tissue repair, and rejuvenation.
They are part of a growing field known as biologic or autologous regenerative therapy, meaning the healing factors come directly from your own body — not from synthetic materials or foreign substances.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma):
PRP is derived from a small sample of your blood that’s processed in a centrifuge to separate the plasma rich in platelets and growth factors. These natural components are key players in wound healing and collagen production.
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin):
PRF is a newer, advanced generation of PRP. The main difference lies in the processing — PRF is spun at a lower speed and without anticoagulants, resulting in a fibrin matrix that slowly releases growth factors over time for more sustained healing and regeneration.
How the Procedure Works
Blood Collection:
A small amount of blood is drawn, typically from your arm — just like a standard blood test.
Centrifugation:
The sample is spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelets and plasma (for PRP) or to create a fibrin matrix (for PRF).
Application:
The concentrated PRP or PRF is then carefully injected or applied to the targeted area — whether that’s the face, scalp, or other body regions.
Depending on your goals, PRP or PRF can be used alone or in combination with other aesthetic or medical treatments (such as microneedling, hair restoration, or skin rejuvenation).
