Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) in SoHo
What is PRF?
PRF is a procedure much like PRP used to stimulate healing of tissue, collagen production, and inflammation reduction. PRF contains all the growth factors of PRP as well as a high fibrin concentration, leukocytes (white blood cells) and mesenchymal stem cells. Unlike PRP, PRF uses no serum separator and is all natural.
What to Expect During PRF
The treatment involves drawing blood and then gently centrifuging the serum to separate the fibrin rich part from the red blood cells. The fibrin rich serum is then separated from the rest of the tube and used to reduce wrinkles, help restore skin vibrancy and health, stimulate hair growth in the scalp, and or expedite the healing process post laser/ procedure.
This is thought to be a pregnancy safe alternative and can support a more natural approach to skin health and anti-aging protocols.
What is PRF EZ Gel?
PRF EZ Gel is a natural injectable derived from your own blood, designed to rejuvenate and subtly volumize the skin, offering a natural alternative to traditional fillers. It combines the regenerative properties of Platelet Rich Fibrin with the volumizing effects of a gel-like substance.
How is PRF EZ Gel Created?
PRF EZ Gel is solely derived from the patient. After blood is drawn, it is centrifuged in two different procedures, one to sequester the fibrin rich PRF and the second to extract the albumin, (a protein found in serum) which will then be recombined to create the gel.
Gel of varying viscosity can be created to fit the specific demands of the patient. This treatment stimulates collagen and elastin production, enhancing skin texture and firmness over time.
Is there Recovery or Downtime after PRF?
Downtime associated with PRF is minimal, where the most significant complication seen is bruising at sites of injection. It enhances your skin’s natural regenerative abilities and can be used to help improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and volume deficits when used like a filler.
