Both PRP and PRF leverage the body’s natural healing processes, making them popular options for non-surgical aesthetic enhancements.
If you’re curious about the differences between PRP and PRF, the key distinction lies in how the blood is processed and the types of growth factors extracted—plasma or fibrin—that are most suited to your specific needs.
PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) contains a higher concentration of white blood cells and fibrin matrix. It is processed at a slower speed than PRP to prevent cell disruption, allowing for a gradual release of growth factors over approximately a week, compared to PRP. This extended release means you benefit from a longer duration of rich growth factors, effectively providing “amplified PRP” results.
PRF is typically used as a filler treatment, whereas PRP can be applied during facial treatments or microneedling sessions, and the two can also be combined to enhance overall skin health. PRF serves as a natural alternative to traditional fillers, utilizing your body’s own fibrin to add volume to the skin. The injection method for PRF is similar to that of fillers, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a more natural approach to enhancing their appearance.
During your complimentary consultation with one of our providers, we will discuss the differences between PRP and PRF and determine which method will best meet your needs.
Blood Draw: A tiny volume of your blood is extracted.
