PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) are both regenerative treatments used in aesthetics, dermatology, and medicine to stimulate skin healing, collagen production, and tissue regeneration. Although they are similar in concept, there are key differences in how they are prepared and their effects on the body.

PRP is a treatment that uses your own blood to harness the healing properties of platelets and growth factors. It's been widely used for facial rejuvenation, hair restoration, and wound healing.

• Blood Draw: A small sample of blood is taken from your body.
• Centrifugation: The blood is placed in a centrifuge, which spins it rapidly to separate the components. This results in a concentration of platelets suspended in plasma, rich in growth factors.
• Application: The PRP is injected or microneedled into the skin to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, promote healing, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and scars.

• Stimulates collagen production.
• Improves skin texture and tone.
• Reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and scars.
• Promotes hair growth (in hair restoration treatments).
• Speeds up healing in injured tissues or after certain procedures.

PRF is a more recent advancement of PRP and uses a slightly different preparation method. It aims to create a more natural, longer-lasting regenerative effect by preserving more platelets and white blood cells in a fibrin matrix.

• Blood Draw: Like PRP, blood is drawn from the patient.
• Low-Speed Centrifugation: PRF is processed at a slower centrifuge speed, which allows more of the white blood cells, stem cells, and platelets to remain in the final product, along with a fibrin matrix that helps to sustain the release of growth factors over time.
• Application: The PRF, with its slow-release growth factors and cells, is applied to the skin through injections or microneedling.

• Contains more white blood cells, stem cells, and a fibrin matrix, which provides longer-term healing.
• Slower release of growth factors (over about 7-10 days) compared to PRP, which offers more sustained results.
• No anticoagulants are added during preparation, making it a 100% natural product.
• Can be more effective in treating deeper wrinkles, hair loss, and improving skin elasticity.

• PRP: Well-suited for patients seeking quick improvements in skin texture, tone, and early signs of aging. It's commonly used in aesthetic treatments like the Vampire Facelift, hair restoration, and wound healing.
• PRF: A more advanced option, offering longer-lasting and more potent regenerative effects. It's ideal for deeper skin rejuvenation, hair loss treatments, and people looking for more natural, sustained results with fewer sessions.
