About this Treatment
PRF and PRP Treatment
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) are concentrates obtained from each individual patient’s own blood that contains high levels of autologous natural growth factors and powerful cells that have been proven in multiple clinical studies to repair, restore, and rejuvenate healthy and younger tissue and cell function. Patients love the idea of utilizing their own cells and the potential to restore a more youthful and healthy appearance.
Both PRP and more recently PRF has been incorporated into many of EVOLV Plastic Surgery and Medical Aesthetics’ proprietary rejuvenation programs for improved healing and rejuvenation, for reducing healing time and inflammation after chemical skin peels, laser, and light therapy, for improving fat grafting outcomes, for microneedling skin treatments and many other aesthetic procedures.
What It Is
PRP stands for ‘platelet rich plasma’ or autologous conditioned plasma and is a concentrate of natural platelets and growth factors obtained from each individual patient’s own blood after centrifugation to remove red blood cells and other factors.
PRF is the term representing ‘platelet-rich fibrin’ and is a second-generation PRP that incorporates white blood cells or leukocytes in a complex matrix natural gel. Like PRP, PRF is also obtained from each patient’s own blood but the unique fibrin matrix of PRF has a more powerful rejuvenating and healing effect due to the higher concentration of natural growth factors and platelets as well as a longer duration of benefit. Both PRP and PRF are 100% natural and obtained by processing each patient’s own blood and do not contain any additives or other human or animal products.
