PRP vs. PRF: Powerful Tools for Natural Regeneration
Use your body’s own growth factors for a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.
What Are PRP and PRF?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) are advanced regenerative treatments that use your body’s own healing properties to rejuvenate skin, stimulate hair growth, and accelerate tissue repair. Both are derived from a simple blood draw and are processed in a centrifuge to isolate the most beneficial components of your blood—primarily platelets, which release growth factors that aid in healing and regeneration.
These treatments are commonly used for:
- Skin rejuvenation and anti-aging
- Hair restoration for thinning or shedding hair
- Acne scar revision and collagen stimulation
- Under-eye rejuvenation (especially with PRF)
The Process
- A small amount of your blood is drawn in-office.
- The blood is placed in a centrifuge to separate platelets and other key components.
- The resulting PRP or PRF is carefully injected or microneedled into the target area.
- Growth factors are released, stimulating natural healing, collagen production, and tissue renewal.
The entire process takes around 45–60 minutes and involves minimal downtime.Some redness, swelling, or mild tenderness may occur in the treated areas, which typically resolves within a few hours to a couple of days.
PRF as a Natural Filler for Under-Eye Hollows
One of the most popular and effective uses of PRF is as a natural filler—especially for the delicate under-eye area. Traditional dermal fillers can sometimes create puffiness or an unnatural look under the eyes. PRF offers a gentler, more biologically harmonious solution.
When injected into under-eye hollows or areas with dark circles, PRF:
- Improves skin quality and thickness
- Reduces pigmentation and shadowing
- Stimulates collagen production for long-term tissue improvement
- Softens the appearance of fine lines and volume loss
Because PRF is 100% natural and derived from your own blood, there's minimal risk of adverse reactions, making it a preferred option for patients seeking subtle, restorative enhancement without synthetic fillers.
What's the Difference Between PRP and PRF?
| Feature | PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) | PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) |
|---|---|---|
| Centrifuge Speed | High speed (separates platelets only) | Low speed (retains platelets, stem cells & fibrin) |
| Fibrin Matrix | Does not form | Forms a fibrin scaffold for slow release |
| Growth Factor Release | Rapid, short-lived | Slow, sustained release |
| Use Cases | Skin texture, tone, early hair loss | Under-eye hollows, hair restoration, deeper tissue regeneration |
| Duration of Effect | Shorter acting | Longer lasting due to gradual release |
Which One Is Right for You?
Both PRP and PRF are powerful regenerative treatments, and the choice depends on your skin condition, treatment goals, and the area being treated. During your consultation, Dr. Maleki and our expert team will assess your needs and recommend the best option tailored to your individual concerns.
