Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) is the ultimate blood concentrate treatment. Prior to PRF, platelet rich plasma (PRP) was the gold standard used to rejuvenate the skin, stimulate collagen and reduce signs of aging. When obtaining this PRP sample, blood is collected and spun in a high-speed centrifuge using moderate G-Force to separate the red blood cells from the platelet rich plasma (PRP). This PRP sample was then injected into the treatment area. Studies have since shown that when spinning the blood too fast, for too long, you are not only pushing down the red blood cells to the bottom of the tube, but also the natural growth factors cells that we want to harvest. This process results in mostly pure plasma water with a low concentration of natural growth factors. 

The process of obtaining platelet rich fibrin (PRF) is a little different than that of PRP in that we obtain your blood sample and spin it at a much slower speed and at a lower G-force. By doing so, we are able to keep the majority of the stem cells and growth factors at the top of the sample so we can extract them to inject, instead of them being pushed down to the bottom. This difference in spinning produces 10x the growth factor concentration than that of PRP! Once extracted, the albumin is heated, the PRF is cooled, and then the two are mixed, which turns the PRF into a filler-like consistency. This end product is your body’s own natural “plasma filler”, with zero additives and no chance of migration, occlusion or tyndall effect. PRF is able to be injected anywhere that you can inject fillers. It is the ideal treatment to rejuvenate, volumize, and reduce signs of aging through its long-term benefits of stimulating your own collagen, elastin for a more natural, youthful, long-term outcome.
