BENEFITS of PRP with HA Injections

​

  • A Natural Filler: Platelet Rich Fibrin rejuvenates skin while restoring lost facial volume without using synthetic fillers.  Using your own blood as a base, PRF is the most organic filler possible.  As it is completely natural, you need not fear allergies or complications.

  • Tissue Regeneration: PRF contains a high concentration of platelets, white blood cells, and growth factors that stimulate collagen production and cell turnover.  The fibrin matrix provides the structural support to fill the injected area, helps repair damaged cells and reduces inflammation.

  • Skin texture and tone: PRF suits all skin types and improves texture and elasticity to achieve a brighter, more even-toned look.

  • In A Nutshell: PRF is an excellent choice for improving fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, dark under-eye bags and lost volume around the face while acting as a completely organic filler - ideal for anyone who does not want to use traditional fillers.

Platelet Rich Fibrin combines the regenerative abilities of traditional PRP with the ability to plump out lost facial volume 

What Is Platelet Rich Fibrin?

Platelet-rich fibrin, or PRF, has a long history of use for tissue regeneration and wound healing in the world of orthopaedics and oral surgery.  It is a highly advanced technique that uses the patients' own blood to regenerate healthy tissue and act as a filler in areas where volume has been lost.  It is the second generation of platelet-rich plasma (PRP).  Harvested from the patient's blood, PRF is a powerful blend of platelets, fibrin and growth factors that work together at the treatment site to trigger cell turnover, increase collagen and elastin production, fill in and volumise skin and give your complexion a subtle, youthful glow. PRF is a superb option to deal with more mature skin.  It is also an excellent treatment for acne scarring and under-eye issues such as dark circles and under-eye bags.

What are Platelets and Fibrin?

Blood contains red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma and platelets.  When you get a cut, platelets (cell fragments that play an important role in forming blood clots) collect and stick to the edge of the cut in the blood vessel.  Then, the platelets release chemicals that produce thread-like substances called “fibrin”.  Fibrin is a blood protein that forms a net-like matrix across the opening of a wound.  This enables the platelets to stick together and form a solid barrier to stop bleeding and begin the healing process.  The fibrin network, now embedded with platelets and growth factors, provides structural support for tissue regeneration and reduces inflammation.​

​

In the context of aesthetics, the platelets injected into problem areas such as wrinkles and lost volume initiate tissue regeneration and volume restoration. At the same time, the fibrin matrix provides structural support and keeps growth factors in the treated area to achieve more visible, long-lasting results.

What Can PRF treat?​​ 

Platelet Rich Fibrin is used to treat the following skin issues:

​

  • Skin Rejuvenation, ideal for more mature skin conditions

  • Acne Scarring

  • Volume Loss - restores volume in hollow areas such as the cheeks

  • Eye Rejuvenation - excellent for dark circles and under-eye bags

  • Neck, Decolletage and Hand Rejuvenation

  • Skin Tightening

  • Uneven Skin Tone

How Do PRF Injections Work?

The Technique:

​

Step 1: PRF is obtained by taking a small sample of the patient's blood immediately before treatment.  The blood is spun slowly through a centrifuge to separate the platelets and fibrin from the other blood components.

​

Step 2: When the PRF has reached a gel-like consistency, it is drawn into a syringe ready for treatment.

​

Step 3: The PRF solution is then injected into the deeper layers of the skin using very fine needles - injection points will be decided at the initial consultation depending on the skin issues presented.
