PRP - Platelet Rich Plasma + PRF - Platelet Rich Fibrin

PRP and PRF are natural growth factors found in your own blood. Rich in platelets, white blood cells, and fibrin (in the case of PRF), PRP and PRF work by kickstarting new cell growth and collagen production. When your body is injured, in this case by microneedling, or an injection, the platelets in your blood become activated and release growth factors. These growth factors start the wound healing process by creating new skin cells, collagen, elastin, and blood vessels. This results in firmer, plumper skin, and a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, tone + texture and dark spots. 
What is the difference between PRP + PRF?
The difference between these treatments lies primarily in how your blood is collected prior to treatment. With PRP, your blood is spun in a centrifuge at high speed, completely separating the plasma layer. With PRF your blood is spun at a lower speed so that some of the white blood cells, stem cells, and fibrin remain in the platelet layer. The slow spin also means fewer cells are damaged which leaves a higher concentration of healing platelets. PRF contains approximately 10 times the platelet concentration that is found within the body, whereas PRP contains roughly 2-5 times. 

Another notable difference is the use of anticoagulants. A PRP treatment is added to a vial containing anticoagulants, which prevent the blood from clotting during injection. With PRF, no anticoagulants are added. This allows for the creation of a spongy fibrin matrix that signals the platelets to release their growth factors slowly. PRP releases growth factors for a few hours and PRF releases them for up to a week. This slow release is thought to have more robust, longer-lasting results. 
Treatment Steps:

1. Blood is drawn from a vein in the patient's arm into a vial
2. The blood is spun using a centrifuge machine separating the Plasma rich fibrin.
3. Microneedling is then used to penetrate the PRF into the skin.
4. PRF is then injected superficially into the skin to target specific areas of concern such as under the eyes or in deeper lines and wrinkles.
