Our LocationCurious about how you can achieve healthier, more youthful skin and hair using your body’s natural healing powers? Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) treatments offer an effective way to reverse the effects of time on your skin and hair without plastic surgery. By harnessing the regenerative properties of your own blood, PRF helps address a wide range of concerns, from skin texture and hydration to hair thinning and loss. Discover the remarkable benefits of PRF treatments at Elite Medi Spa and how they can help you look and feel your best.
What is Platelet-Rich Fibrin Treatment?
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a revolutionary advancement in skincare and regenerative treatments. Derived from your own blood, PRF is a concentration of platelets, fibrin, and white blood cells, all of which play a crucial role in healing and tissue regeneration. The process begins with a simple blood draw, similar to a routine lab test. This blood is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the PRF from other components.
How is it different from platelet-rich plasma (PRP)?
If you thought platelet-rich fibrin was another name for platelet-rich plasma, or if you thought PRF was a typo that was supposed to say PRP, you would’ve been incorrect, but your reasoning wouldn’t have been far off. PRP is the predecessor of PRF and has a slightly different process. Since PRP is kind of like the parent to the younger, stronger PRF, a mix-up is understandable, especially since they have similar names and acronyms!
Before we get into the benefits of PRF, let’s break down how it differs from PRP and why it matters.
The main difference between these treatments lies in how your blood is processed before treatment. With PRP, your blood is spun in a centrifuge at high speed, which completely separates the plasma layer. Another key difference is the use of anticoagulants. PRP treatments include anticoagulants to prevent blood from clotting during injection.
PRF is spun at a lower speed, allowing some white blood cells, stem cells, and fibrin to remain in the platelet layer. This slow spin means fewer cells are damaged, resulting in a higher concentration of healing platelets compared to PRP. To be specific, PRF contains approximately 10 times the platelet concentration found within your body, while PRP has roughly 2-5 times the concentration. PRF also uses no anticoagulants, creating a spongy fibrin matrix that allows platelets to release growth factors for up to a week, resulting in more robust, longer-lasting effects.

Natural & Safe
Platelet-rich blood treatments are all about keeping it natural and safe. Because PRF is made from your own blood and has no additives or chemicals, you’re not putting anything foreign into your body. PRF taps into your body’s natural abilities, providing a holistic and effective way to treat a variety of concerns. This means means there’s no risk of allergic reactions or side effects that you might get with synthetic stuff. It’s a pure, straightforward approach to skincare that you can feel good about.
Skin Rejuvenation
Two critical components of healthy, youthful skin are collagen and elastin. Collagen provides structure and strength, while elastin gives skin its elasticity and ability to bounce back. As we age, our bodies produce less of these proteins, leading to wrinkles, sagging, and other concerns.
PRF helps reverse this process by releasing growth factors that promote the natural production of collagen and elastin. The treatment involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it, and then re-injecting it into targeted areas. This stimulates your skin’s natural healing processes, leading to increased collagen and elastin production over time, which…
- Hydrates dry skin
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Smooth skin texture issues, including sun damage, acne scars, and crepey skin
- Tightens and prevents loose or sagging skin
- Decreases skin discoloration and pigmentation problems
- Fills in hollow under eyes
- Fades bags under the eyes
- Aids in treating melasma
- And more!
The result is firmer, smoother, healthier skin that looks as great and youthful as you feel on the inside!
Treats and Restores Hair Loss
Hair thinning can be a distressing experience, destroying self-esteem and overall confidence. Fortunately, you don’t have to consider a hair transfer surgery to restore your full head of hair. PRF treatments are showing fantastic results for those dealing with hair loss and thinning hair. The growth factors and cytokines in PRF give your scalp a boost and wake up those “lazy” hair follicles by improving blood flow to the scalp so hair follicles can get the nutrients they need to thrive.
One major perk of PRF for hair loss treatment is its ability to prolong the growing phase. This means your hair follicles are active and producing hair in longer shifts, resulting in more hair and thicker strands.
Another major perk about PRF for hair loss treatment is that it doesn’t just help new hair grow; it also makes your existing hair healthier. By nourishing the scalp with growth factors, PRF strengthens hair from the roots. This helps reduce breakage and hair fall, giving you a fuller look. Plus, it can improve your hair’s overall texture and shine, making it feel and look better.
Promotes Healing After Microneedling and Laser Resurfacing
And finally, the last benefit we’ll discuss today is that PRF treatments can significantly speed up recovery from microneedling and laser resurfacing. When used alongside these procedures, PRF quickens the healing process by delivering concentrated growth factors and nutrients directly to the treated areas. These growth factors stimulate cell regeneration and collagen production, helping your skin heal more quickly and effectively. By promoting faster tissue repair, PRF reduces downtime and potentially elevates the overall results of microneedling and laser treatments.
When getting PRF after these treatments, patients often experience less redness and swelling, and their skin recovers more rapidly, leading to smoother, rejuvenated skin quicker.
