PRF 101 and why it’s worth it
PRF - or platelet rich fibrin, is the next generation of PRP (often known as the Vampire Facial) using platelets and natural growth factors taken from your own blood to improve your skin. PRF is science backed and has a higher concentration of platelets and growth factors which stimulate collagen and elastin — the proteins responsible for strong, healthy, youthful skin. This treatment utilizes growth factors found in your own blood and stimulates your skin from within. Since PRF is extracted from your own blood, you do not need to worry about allergic reactions
It’s longer lasting than PRP. Rather than the PRP being productive for hours to about a day, PRF works to encourage healing for up to a week. This extended production of new cells and renewed blood flow delivers skin rejuvenation with looking natural results.
A study from Ohio State University determined the effectiveness and viability of the concentrated platelets in the fibrin matrix. The PRF promoted endothelial cell generation in wounds and enhanced the development of new blood vessels in ischemic injuries, demonstrating its potential healing powers. The study also confirmed the slow and steady release of growth factors from PRF.
