PRF vs PRP
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) therapy stand as advanced regenerative medicine treatments, offering solutions to various aesthetic concerns without resorting to surgery.
Malva Beauty and Health Centre specializes in PRF therapy, a minimally invasive treatment adept at addressing wrinkles, lost facial volume, dark circles under the eyes, scars, stretch marks, hair loss. While PRP therapy is a familiar regenerative treatment leveraging platelets to stimulate the body’s natural healing process, PRF therapy takes it up a notch. Let’s delve into the distinctions between the two.
The basics of PRP therapy involve extracting a blood sample, spinning it in a centrifuge to separate platelets, and then injecting the resulting serum into the targeted area. The platelets initiate cell regeneration and healing.
On the other hand, PRF therapy is an enhanced version, incorporating fibrinogens, proteins in the blood that transform into fibrin during clotting. Unlike PRP therapy, PRF retains fibrinogen molecules, providing a more potent healing boost. The slower centrifuge speed in PRF therapy preserves a higher concentration of fibrinogens, stem cells, and white blood cells, contributing to a more enriched serum for injection.
Notably, PRF treatments omit anticoagulants, allowing the naturally forming spongy fibrin to support cosmetic improvements. This fibrin scaffold aids in achieving enduring results. Moreover, PRF facilitates the gradual slow release of growth factors, amplifying the natural healing processes from within.
The utilization of your own blood minimizes risks, ensuring a safe procedure with minimal side effects.
Post-treatment, you may notice immediate improvements, with results continuing to enhance during next 6 - 9 months as new collagen forms in the treated area. Result may vary from person to person. 3 treatments month apart recommended for optimal result.
PRF, as well as PRP can be combined with Gold RF (radiofrequency microneedling) for more advanced longer lasting result.
