Platelet-Rich Fibrin

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) are both regenerative treatments that utilize the patient’s own blood to promote healing and rejuvenation.

  • Facial rejuvenation

    PRF can be used to improve skin tone and texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and promote overall skin health. PRF is a good option for undereye skin laxity and discoloration.

What is the PRF procedure like?

  1. The PRF procedure starts with a small amount of blood being drawn from the patient.

  2. The blood is then placed in a centrifuge machine, which separates the blood cells and plasma. The plasma is collected and used for the procedure.

  3. The PRF is then injected into the treatment area using a cannula or fine needle.

Are there any adverse events or complications from PRP/PRF?

These treatments are generally considered safe, minimally invasive, and well-tolerated by most patients. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and complications that patients should be aware of before undergoing treatment. Here are some of the possible complications or adverse events that may occur with treatments:

  • Pain, bruising, or swelling at the injection site

  • Infection at the injection site

  • Bleeding or hematoma formation

  • Allergic reactions

  • Unsatisfactory results or asymmetry

  • Nerve damage or injury

  • Skin discoloration or changes in skin texture

  • Rarely, embolism or blockage of a blood vessel

 

To minimize the risk of complications, it is important to choose a qualified and experienced medical professional to perform the treatment, and to follow all pre- and post-treatment instructions carefully. Patients should also disclose any medical conditions or medications they are taking before undergoing treatment. If any complications or adverse events occur, patients should seek medical attention immediately.

Who is a poor candidate?

  • Blood disorders: Individuals with blood disorders or who are taking blood thinning medication may not be good candidates, as these treatments involve drawing blood and injecting it back into the body.

  • Active infections or inflammation: Treatments should not be performed on areas of the body that are actively infected or inflamed, as this can increase the risk of complications.

  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding: While there is no evidence to suggest that these treatments are unsafe for pregnant or breastfeeding women, it is generally recommended that these individuals avoid cosmetic procedures until after they have finished breastfeeding.

  • Allergies: Individuals who have a history of allergies or allergic reactions may be at increased risk of complications. It is important to inform your healthcare provider of any allergies you may have before undergoing these treatments.

  • Unrealistic expectations: While these treatments may produce significant improvements in the appearance of the skin, but they are not a “miracle cure” for all skin concerns. Patients with unrealistic expectations may be disappointed with the results of these treatments.

 

It is important to discuss your medical history and individual needs with a qualified healthcare provider at a consultation to determine if these treatments are right for you.
