What’s the Difference Between PRP and PRF?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
A concentrated serum extracted from your blood that is rich in platelets and growth factors. Commonly used for skin rejuvenation, microneedling, and hair restoration.
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)
A second-generation PRP that contains a higher concentration of platelets, white blood cells, and fibrin matrix for a slower, sustained release of growth factors. PRF is often used for under-eye hollows and volume-deficient areas for longer-lasting results.
Before Your Appointment
• Stay well-hydrated and eat a light, healthy meal before your visit
• Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements (aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil) for 5–7 days, if medically appropriate
• Avoid alcohol for 24 hours prior
• Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup or lotions
Is This Treatment Right for You?
PRP and PRF are ideal for individuals seeking natural skin and hair rejuvenation using their body’s own healing capabilities. Suitable for most skin types, including sensitive and ethnic skin. Not recommended for clients with active infections, anemia, clotting disorders, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
What to Expect During Treatment
A small amount of your blood is drawn and processed in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich layer. The PRP or PRF is then injected into targeted areas or applied topically during microneedling. Treatment time typically ranges from 45–60 minutes. Discomfort is minimal and topical numbing is provided when needed.
