Platelet Rich Fibrin

PRF (Platelet-rich Fibrin) is the next generation treatment of platelet concentrate. PRF consists of white blood cells, growth factors and fibrin matrix used for skin rejuvenation, hair growth and wound healing.

PRF releases a much higher concentration of growth factors over a longer time compared to PRP lasting up to one week after the initial treatment. This means longer lasting benefits at a faster healing rate than PRP, maximising your treatment results.  The tubes used in the PRF process are also free from any anticoagulant or additives. The advantage of not using any anticoagulant in the tube where your blood is collected means that the plasma solution forms a platelet and white blood cell-rich fibrin matrix once injected into the treatment area.

In traditional PRP extraction process, the patient’s blood is spun at very high speeds in a centrifuge to obtain the patients PRP solution for treatment. Red blood cells are eliminated by spinning the blood at extremely high speeds. This is a good idea, however if the tubes are spun for too long good cells may be eliminated also.

PRF is used in conjunction with Dermapen Skin Needling treatments to improve skin laxity, collagen production, skin texture, and firmness. PRF is also a method for hair regeneration.

What is PRF ?

Our Registered Nurse / Advanced Cosmetic Injector provides each patient with a non-obligation, complimentary consultation and assessment to determine a suitable treatment plan.

Topical Anaesthetic is applied 30 minutes prior to treatment to ensure the patients comfort.

A sample of your blood is taken and distributed into tubes. These tubes are then spun in a centrifuge at a low speed. At the end of this process the PRF sits at the top of the tube. The PRF is drawn up and injected into the treatment area.
