What can I expect during my treatment?
Platelet-Rich-Fibrin treatments begin with harvesting the growth factors. During this process, a blood draw will be performed just like if you were having bloodwork done. This sample is then placed in a special centrifuge. PRP is spun at high speed which causes the vial to completely separate the plasma layer. PRF is spun slower so that some of the white blood cells, and fibrin remain in the platelet layer. Since PRF is spun slower it is a more concentrated product.
What is the difference between PRP and PRF?
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma while PRF stands for Platelet-rich-Fibrin. Both procedures are performed similarly where your blood is drawn into a vial and spun in a centrifuge. However, there are a few differences in the product and how they are best used.
A vial used for PRP has anticoagulants in it, while PRF vials do not. PRP is spun at high speed which causes the vial to completely separate the plasma layer.
PRF is spun slower so that some white blood cells and fibrin remain in the platelet layer. Since PRF is spun slower, it is a more concentrated product.
When will I see results?
While each patient is different, most people see results within 2-3 weeks after treatment and improve with time. Depending on your skin concerns and desired results, it can take several treatments before noticing optimal results.
Who is an ideal candidate?
One of the most exciting things about PRF is it can be a safe and effective choice for nearly anyone! As it uses growth factors from your own body, it make be used to treat most generally healthy adults with realistic goals and expectations.
The ideal candidate is someone who will keep up with their treatments and wants to address areas that are hollow. This is an alternative to using filler for volume loss.
