Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) are autologous injectables meaning they are prepared from a patient’s own blood. This results in the highest level of biocompatibility. Both are a concentration of platelets (a type of blood cell), which are critical for blood clotting, mitigating inflammation, and healing. PRP/PRF injections are prepared by taking anywhere from one to a few tubes of blood, which is then spun in a centrifuge and prepared for injection. The concentrated platelets release growth factors that stimulate and increase the number of reparative cells your body produces, thus improving your skin tone, texture and overall appearance in the area of injection. Common treatment areas include under eyes, scalp and in combination with microneedling procedures. Learn More
