Many people have heard of PRP, or platelet rich plasma, and PRF is the new PRP. Both are all natural substances, rich in your own growth factors, that stimulate the growth of collagen. With both PRP and PRF, blood is drawn, spun down in a centrifuge, and the remaining fluid is injected where you most need collagen rejuvenation.

Collagen gives structural support to tissue such as skin, joints, and bones. As you age collagen production slows. This, along with the loss of elastin, leads to signs of aging such as sagging skin, dry skin and wrinkles.

While PRP is great, PRF is like a supercharged version of PRP. First, it’s more concentrated. Instead of drawing 8 milliliters of blood and getting 4 milliliters of watery serum, we draw 13 milliliters of blood and get 1.5- 2 milliliters of concentrated serum. Also, since PRF has no additives, it forms a clot once it is injected. That means that it’s almost like a growth factor “bomb” under the skin to make your body create collagen.
