PRP/PRF

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) are the most natural way to rejuvenate the skin. Using plasma from your very own blood, this procedure restores youth and a healthy glow to the skin by stimulating new cell growth while also healing damaged tissue.

ABOUT PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a first generation platelet concentrate aimed to improve tissue repair. It is a treatment whereby a patient’s own blood is used to help fight the visible signs of aging skin. Platelets contain a concentrated amount of growth factors and these growth factors can help slow and even reverse some of the visible signs of aging by stimulating new collagen production. PRP can be injected and/or micro-needled into the skin. When this is done, it causes mild inflammation that triggers the healing cascade. During this process platelets release a number of enzymes and growth factors to promote healing. As a result, new collagen develops. Generally, 2-3 treatments are advised, however, more may be necessary for some individuals.

ABOUT PRF (Platelet Rich Fibrin)

Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a modern, natural platelet concentrate. It is achieved with a simplified preparation, with no biochemical manipulation of blood. The blood taken, approximately 10 ml in tubes without anticoagulant, is immediately centrifuged. The fibrinogen is initially concentrated in the upper part of the tube, but upon the contact with thrombin normally present in the blood, it is converted into fibrin. The platelets are retained into the meshes of fibrin.
