Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)

What is PRF?

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) therapy is a next-generation regenerative treatment that uses your body’s own healing properties to stimulate collagen production, restore skin vitality, and promote natural tissue repair.

Unlike traditional PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), PRF contains fibrin—a protein matrix that acts as a scaffold, allowing for the slower, sustained release of growth factors over time, resulting in longer-lasting rejuvenation effects.

At our clinic, we use the Arthrex ACP® double syringe system to ensure a high-quality, additive-free PRF preparation for the most effective results.

How It Works

Step 1 – Blood Collection

A small amount (typically 15ml) of blood is drawn from your arm.

Step 2 - Centrifugation

The blood sample is spun in a specialized centrifuge, naturally separating the platelet-rich fibrin from other blood components without additives or anticoagulants.

Step 3 – Application

The extracted PRF, rich in platelets and fibrin, is then applied to targeted areas of the skin or scalp, supporting natural regeneration and repair.

Benefits of PRF

Enhanced Skin Regeneration: Improves skin tone and texture, reduces scarring, and stimulates new collagen growth.

Increased Hydration and Radiance: Boosts skin moisture retention, creating a more glowing, youthful appearance.

Reduction in Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Smooths expression lines and softens deeper wrinkles using natural healing pathways.

Hair Restoration: Encourages healthier, thicker hair growth in thinning areas of the scalp.

Prolonged Healing Effect: Fibrin enables gradual, sustained release of growth factors for long-lasting improvement.

FAQ

Minimal. Some redness or swelling may appear but usually settles within 1–2 days.

The number of treatments varies according to individual skin goals. Generally, a series of 2-3 sessions spaced several weeks apart is recommended for optimal results.

PRF is versatile, beneficial for the face, neck, décolletage, hands, and scalp for hair restoration.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort. A topical numbing cream is usually applied beforehand to ensure a comfortable treatment experience.

Results can last 12–18 months, with visible improvements appearing progressively over time.
