PRF - PLATELET-RICH FIBRIN TREATMENT - FAQ

PRF, or platelet-rich fibrin, is a newer generation of PRP or Platelet-Rich Plasma preparation that can be used in a variety of treatments to regenerate collagen and reverse the signs of aging. 

As with PRP, your own blood is taken, and goes through a process of centrifugation where it is essentially spun in a machine which separates out the platelets and other components suspended in bloody plasma.  These other components include fibrin matrix, which is a protein involved in blood clotting, as well as white blood cells. 

Platelets and Fibrin are rich in growth factors which essentially perform an array of anti-aging, skin-benefiting functions, including boosting the skin’s collagen building process.  The PRF releases slower and therefore has a longer anti-aging effect.

PRF is a completely natural aesthetic treatment and can be used as to help rejuvenate the appearance of your face, under eye area or as an effective treatment for hair loss and stimulating hair regrowth.  PRF can help restore a more youthful and smoother appearance and continue to work overtime by promoting the generation of new collagen.  A series of treatments are often advised to achieve best results.

Who is suitable?

You will be invited for a medical consultation to assess your suitability for this treatment.

What’s the treatment like?

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a by-product of blood (plasma) that is rich in platelets.  

Dr Joney De Souza will take a small amount of your blood and place this in a centrifuge to separate the red blood cells from the platelet rich plasma containing growth factors.  The plasma is then re-injected into treatment area – it can be administered either in multiple micro-injections, like Mesotherapy or Dermal Hydrating Treatments, directly into lines and wrinkles, like a filler, or deeper into the dermis, like a volumiser. 

The process should be no more painful than any other injectable procedure, but the treatment area might be numbed beforehand with a topical local anaesthetic cream. Some practitioners combine this with other ‘self-heal’ treatments, like Medical Micro-Needling to enhance the results.

What happens afterwards?

There might be a small amount of redness or swelling at injection site, but this should fade quickly. You might also have some bruising where the blood was taken, but again this won’t last. One thing to avoid is taking aspirin or any anti-inflammatory drugs.  This isn’t a one-off treatment – a course of treatments is usually recommended and it might take up to six months for the results of platelet rich plasma therapy to show, but the real benefit is that they should be permanent.

Improvement of skin texture and tone are noticeable within three weeks. Full collagen regeneration takes three months.
