Platelet Rich Fibrin
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is a concentrated platelet preparation derived from a small sample of your own blood. It contains white blood cells, growth factors, and a fibrin matrix used for skin rejuvination, hair growth and wound healing.
PRF gradually releases growth factors for several days after preparation. The tubes used in this process do not contain anticoagulants or additives, which allows a fibrin matrix to naturally form once applied to the treatment area.
Unlike traditional platelet-rich plasma (PRP), where the sample is spun at high speeds to separate components, PRF is prepared using a different processing method designed to retain a higher proportion of platelets and white blood cells.
PRF can also be used in conjunction with skin procedures such as microneedling, with the aim of supporting collagen production, skin texture and skin structure. Suitability, treatment planning, possible risks, and outcomes are discussed during consultation. Responses vary between individuals, and no specific result can be guaranteed.
What is PRF ?
All patients are required to attend a consultation and assessment with our Registered Nurse to establish an appropriate treatment plan. During this consultation, treatment goals, possible risks, and side effects will be discussed.
For PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) preparation, a small sample of blood is collected and processed in a centrifuge at a controlled speed. This separates the blood components, with PRF forming in the upper layer of the tube. The PRF is then collected and prepared for use as part of the treatment plan.
What does the treatment involve?
How many treatments are recommended?
The number of treatments required varies between individuals, though a series of sessions may be recommended as part of a treatment plan. Progress will be reviewed after each session, and outcomes typically take several months to become apparent. Results differ between individuals, and no specific outcome can be guaranteed.
Do not massage or rub or apply pressure to the treatment area for 24 hours post treatment.
Avoid excessive alcohol consumption immediately after treatment.
