PRP is a very sophisticated skin treatment technique where science meets nature. The procedure involves taking a sample of the patients blood and purifying it into a highly concentrated plasma, rich in the body’s own natural healing agents.

This is then injected back into the skin where intense healing power is released, stimulating skin cell and collagen renewal.

As the process involves lots of tiny injections, the MINIMAL pain injection concept is a very attractive prospect.

PRF -Platelet Rich Fibrin
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is the second generation of platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Platelet rich fibrin application is now becoming more popular and is widely used for skin and hair regeneration treatments.

The PRF injections used to rejuvenate skin are made from your own blood and a protein matrix called fibrin. Once harvested, it becomes a gel made up of a high concentration of white blood cells, fibrin, and stem cells (growth factors).

As we age we lose volume in our face, under our eyes, in our cheeks and around our mouths. This is due to loss of collagen and elastin.

To stimulate collagen production, tighten loose skin and add volume back to the face there are non-surgical options, including dermal fillers, thread lifts, lasers and platelet rich plasma (PRP) and platelet rich fibrin (PRF).

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a new, all-natural solution that can treat common areas that show the first signs of ageing and hair loss.

PRF can be injected or used after micro-needling into the face. Popular areas include under eyes, forehead lines, crow’s feet, lip lines, laugh lines, cheeks and marionette lines. It is also injected into the scalp and eyebrows to stimulate hair growth.

What Can PRP and PRF Treatment Be Used For?

•  Reduction of facial wrinkles and ageing skin.
•  Improves dry or oily facial skin.
•  Stimulates hair growth (Scalp and Eyebrows).
•  Reduces skin scars caused by acne.
•  Scar upliftment

Advantages of PRP and PRF

•  Lower infection risk.
•  Accelerated healing.
• Safety and convenience

Procedure

A sample of your blood will be collected and then prepared/purified using special equipment.

The PRF serum produced can be injected or used after micro-needling into the face – under eyes, forehead lines, crow’s feet, lip lines, laugh lines, cheeks and marionette lines. It is also injected into the scalp and eyebrows to stimulate hair growth.

How is PRF Different to PRP?

The PRF products are spun at a lower speed so that the layers of the blood do not separate out as distinctly. This allows some of the white blood cells and stem cells to remain within the platelet layer that is collected for treatment.

Thus, there are more healing factors within PRF than is typically seen in PRP. In addition, the lower spin speed causes less trauma to the individual cells of the blood, allowing more stem cells to remain in the final PRF product.
