Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF)
What is Platelet Rich Fibrin?
Liquid Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is an advanced regenerative therapy that utilises the body’s natural healing properties to promote tissue regeneration and accelerate recovery. A small sample of blood is collected and centrifugated to concentrate platelets and fibrin into a liquid form. Platelets are blood cells that release growth factors, while the Fibrin forms a network that holds the growth factors in place of injury enhancing tissue regeneration and skin healing. Unlike traditional Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), Liquid PRF is a more natural solution because it does not require anticoagulants or additives. It is also spun at a much slower speed to PRP and so the collection yields a higher concentration of growth factors that have greater preserved cell vitality.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
As PRF is rich in platelets, growth factors, white blood cells, and fibrin, when it is absorbed through the micro-channels created during microneedling, it works deep within the skin to stimulate collagen production, accelerate tissue repair, and improve overall skin complexion. The treatment is especially effective for softening fine lines, improving acne scars, and revitalising dull or ageing skin helping with long-term skin rejuventaion.
