What is PRF Treatment?
A Platelet-Rich Fibrin Treatment or PRF is a facial treatment that uses the naturally rejuvenating properties of the proteins and fibrin in your blood. During the treatment, protein-rich platelets found in your blood are injected into your face. The high concentration of natural growth factors can help rejuvenate skin, reverse hair loss, and assist in the recovery process. PRF is ideal for under-eye rejuvenation, improving skin texture, and stimulating hair growth.Pros of PRF:
- Longer Lasting Effects – The fibrin used in PRF treatments provides a sustained release of growth factors that result in longer-lasting visible improvements.
- Better for Chronic Injuries and Challenging Skin Issues – PRF slowly releases healing factors over time, making it ideal for sustained collagen production and deep tissue rejuvenation.
- More Effective for Hair Loss – PRF is more effective at stimulating growth in areas with complete hair loss due to consistent follicle stimulation.
Cons of PRF:
- Higher Cost – The advanced fibrin isolation process contributes to a higher treatment cost, though it also yields longer-lasting results.
- Longer to Prepare – PRF preparation takes more time due to its more delicate processing requirements.
What is PRP Treatment?
A Platelet-Rich Plasma treatment is very similar to a PRF treatment but lacks the fibrin found in PRF. PRP treatments use the protein and growth factors in your blood’s plasma to provide healing properties to your skin and hair.Pros of PRP:
- Faster Acting – PRP delivers healing growth factors immediately upon injection.
- More Affordable – PRP is more budget-friendly due to a faster and simpler preparation process.
- Quick Preparation – PRP uses a high-speed centrifuge, making it quicker to prepare than PRF.
Cons of PRP:
- Effects Don’t Last as Long – PRP’s benefits typically last a few weeks, requiring more frequent sessions.
- Less Effective for Complex Issues – Without fibrin, PRP may not be ideal for deep rejuvenation or areas with significant hair loss.
