PRP vs PRF: The Future of Natural Skin Rejuvenation

As more people seek natural alternatives to traditional aesthetic treatments, regenerative medicine is gaining momentum. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) are leading the way, offering a completely natural solution for skin rejuvenation. These treatments harness your body’s own healing properties to stimulate collagen, improve skin quality, and enhance healing—without synthetic fillers or toxins.

With a focus on long-term skin health over temporary fixes, PRP and PRF represent the next evolution in aesthetics, providing a more sustainable, results-driven approach to anti-aging. But what’s the difference between PRP and PRF, and which one is right for you?

PRP Explained

What is PRP?

PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma, is a treatment that has been used for years in both medical and aesthetic fields. It involves drawing a small amount of blood, spinning it in a centrifuge to separate the plasma from red blood cells, and then re-injecting the plasma back into targeted areas of the face or scalp.

How does PRP Work?

• The centrifuge process isolates platelets, which are rich in growth factors.
• These growth factors stimulate collagen, improve skin elasticity, and promote cell renewal.
• It is commonly used for skin rejuvenation and hair restoration.

What Is PRP Best For?

PRP is best for patients looking for a natural boost to skin texture, fine lines, scar reduction and hair regrowth.

PRF Explained

What is PRF?

PRF, or Platelet-Rich Fibrin, is the next-generation evolution of PRP. While the treatment process is similar, PRF is spun at a lower speed, which preserves more white blood cells, stem cells, and a fibrin matrix—allowing for a slower release of growth factors over time.

How does PRF Work?

• The slower centrifuge process retains more healing components, making PRF richer in growth factors than PRP.
• The fibrin scaffold extends the longevity of growth factor release, meaning longer-lasting results.
• PRF contains no anticoagulants, making it a 100% natural regenerative treatment.

What Is PRP Best For?

PRF is best for patients looking for a more advanced skin rejuvenation option, particularly for undereye hollows, nasolabial folds, and long-term collagen stimulation.

PRP or PRF – Which Treatment is Right for You?

• If you want a quick refresh, PRP can give a natural glow and skin boost.
• If you’re looking for long-term collagen stimulation and deep skin rejuvenation, PRF is the better option.
• For undereye hollows, PRF is particularly effective due to its ability to gradually restore volume and improve skin quality.

 

Enhancing PRP & PRF with Complementary Treatments

PRP and PRF are powerful standalone treatments, but they work even better when combined with complementary procedures to enhance results and accelerate skin rejuvenation:

• Microneedling – Combining microneedling with PRP enhances collagen induction, improves skin texture, and allows growth factors to penetrate deeper into the skin.
• Biostimulators – Combining PRP/F with biostimulators like Sculptra can enhance collagen production and restore volume gradually for a more natural, long-lasting result.
• Injectables & Fillers – PRP/F can be used alongside dermal fillers to naturally enhance volume while stimulating collagen for longer-lasting results.
• Skin Boosters – Pairing PRP with skin boosters can provide deeper hydration and long-term skin quality improvements.
