One of the newest and most popular aesthetic technologies to hit young Hollywood in recent years.

What Is Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF)?

PRF has been utilized for years as a way to stimulate the growth of new cells in a variety of applications. PRF has recently received a great deal of press as it relates to treatments to restore youthful appearance to your skin. PRF is the body’s natural healing elixir and acts as a natural “fertilizer” that stimulates stem cells to grow and repair aged and damaged tissue. PRF also contains molecules and proteins that provide nutrients to the skin’s cells which is why it is the most natural way to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and other effects of aging.

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in human blood contains many growth factors that stimulate stem cells which have the ability to stimulate new cell and tissue growth and regeneration as well as tissue healing in the environment or location where the PRP is placed. Multiple medical publications over the past two decades confirm the safety and use of PRP therapy. PRF has been used with great success over the past 20 years in the fields of plastic surgery, reconstructive and wound healing treatments, oral surgery, neurosurgery, and orthopedics.

How Is PRF Obtained?

A small amount of blood (10mL- about a tablespoon) is drawn in our office just like a routine blood test. The blood is then spun in a centrifuge which will separate the platelet-rich plasma (PRF) from the other blood components that are not utilized. The kits used to obtain the PRF are FDA-approved. The kits are sterile and isolate the PRF in a very effective way.
