Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) are the most natural way to rejuvenate the skin. Using plasma from your very own blood, this procedure restores youth and a healthy glow to the skin by stimulating new cell growth while also healing damaged tissue.

What is PRP and PRF?

Both PRP and PRF have many uses, but at Bloom Facial Plastic Surgery, we use it to rejuvenate the skin. The platelets that are within the plasma contain growth factors, which stimulate skin tissue repair and regeneration, as well as new collagen and elastin production. This process results in skin that’s healthier, firmer, tighter, and more youthful-looking. When patients arrive for their treatment, blood is drawn from a vein and placed into a centrifuge so that the plasma can be separated from the red blood cells and other impurities. The plasma is then placed into a syringe so that it can be injected into the face. It can also be used in conjunction with other treatments such as microneedling, microdermabrasion, facials, and dermal fillers.

How are PRP and PRF different?

Amount of growth factors

PRF delivers about 8-10 times more growth factors than PRP does.

Extraction

PRP’s extraction process involves additives and chemicals to thin the blood, while PRF is extracted in a process that is completely natural and unmodified, with no additives.

Concentration

During the spinning process, PRF is separated using a different angle and a lower spin speed (g-force) than PRP, as well as a different type of vial. This different spinning process means that the platelets and white blood cells remain at the top of the vial, providing a higher concentration of the growth factors.

Blood flow and diffusion

PRF triggers more blood flow, which essentially gets better results than PRP. PRF also spreads more slowly when administered, which means that the body is able to take advantage of the growth factors more efficiently.

Results

PRF releases the growth factors for a longer period of time than PRP due to the blood-thinning additives that PRP has. This means that PRP is only “active” for about one day, while PRF is active for about one week.

Cost

PRF treatments cost more than PRP treatments due to the advantages that PRF fillers in Philadelphia at Bloom Facial Plastics have.

Recovery and results

PRP and PRF do not require any downtime. Patients can go right back to their normal activities, although some have mild soreness, bruising, itching, and/or scabs at the treatment sites for a day or so. The first results will take approximately three months to become apparent, with final results visible at 6-12 months. Once results are finalized, you will see the rejuvenating benefits of the treatment, which include brighter, healthier, smoother skin.
