What is Platelet-Rich Fibrin or PRF?
PRF stands for Platelet-Rich Fibrin, which is a natural substance derived from your own blood. It is used in cosmetic procedures to promote healing, tissue regeneration and improve the appearance of the skin. PRF is prepared by taking a small sample of your blood, spinning it in a centrifuge to separate the platelets and fibrin from other blood components, and then reapplying it in a concentrated form.
The Infamous Vampire Facial or PRP
PRP is primarily a plasma-based preparation with a higher concentration of platelets compared to whole blood. It lacks the fibrin matrix found in PRF. When used for a vampire facial or combined with microneedling, PRP can improve the overall appearance of the skin. This cosmetic procedure was made famous by celebrities.
The Difference Between PRP and PRF
PRF can be used as a natural biogel to stimulate the body to make collagen under deeper layers of the skin. PRP is usually applied and used for surface-level improvements of the skin or hair.
