Understanding PRP & PRF Therapy

PRP and PRF therapies are non-surgical treatments that use components of your own blood to stimulate natural healing processes. PRP involves concentrating platelets, which are rich in growth factors, to promote tissue regeneration and collagen production. PRF takes it a step further by also capturing fibrin and a higher concentration of platelets, creating a gel-like substance that releases growth factors more slowly.

When to Consider PRP or PRF Therapy

Everybody ages in their own unique way, and we understand that your cosmetic goals are as unique as you are. This is why Dr. Chopra begins every patient’s journey with an in-person consultation, during which time you’ll get to know each other, and he’ll learn about your aesthetic aspirations. He’ll help you decide whether or not PRP or PRF therapies are the right choices for you. You’re likely to be a great candidate for this treatment option if you’re interested in addressing the following issues:

Fine lines
Wrinkles
Uneven texture
Uneven tone
Dryness
Slight volume loss
Hair loss

PRP Therapy vs. PRF Therapy

Both PRP and PRF therapies utilize your blood's natural healing properties, but there are key differences between the two treatment modalities.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

This treatment begins with your provider drawing a small amount of your blood, which will then be placed in a centrifuge to separate the plasma rich in platelets. PRP contains a high concentration of platelets and growth factors, which stimulate collagen production and tissue regeneration when it is injected into the treatment area.

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) Therapy

As with PRP therapy, PRF begins with a blood draw. It will be spun in the centrifuge at a slower speed without anticoagulants, resulting in a fibrin matrix with platelets and white blood cells. PRF contains a higher concentration of platelets, white blood cells, and a fibrin network that acts as a scaffold, releasing growth factors gradually over time when injected into or topically applied to the treatment area.

How long does it take to see results from PRP or PRF treatments, and how long do they last?

Results from PRP and PRF treatments are not immediate, as both therapies work gradually by stimulating your body's own healing processes. Most patients begin to notice a visible improvement in skin texture and tone within 3 to 4 weeks, with full results visible after 2-3 months as collagen production increases. While PRP results may last between 6 months to a year, PRF tends to offer more sustained benefits, with results potentially lasting up to 18 months due to its natural fibrin matrix. Maintenance treatments, typically every 6-12 months, can help keep your skin looking youthful and vibrant.

Which Is Right for You?

PRP Therapy is beneficial for patients seeking quick rejuvenation and is often used for skin revitalization and hair restoration. PRF Therapy, on the other hand, offers a slower, sustained release of growth factors, making it ideal for enhancing skin texture, volume, and elasticity over a longer period. Dr. Chopra will help you decide which therapy best suits your individual needs. In some cases, a combination of both may provide optimal results.

Can PRP or PRF treat deep wrinkles or just fine lines?

Both PRP and PRF improve skin texture and reduce fine lines, but their effectiveness for deep wrinkles depends on the severity. PRP boosts collagen to improve firmness and smoothness, making it ideal for mild to moderate wrinkles. PRF, with its natural fibrin matrix, promotes deeper tissue regeneration, making it better for more pronounced wrinkles. Combining these treatments with microneedling or dermal fillers can further enhance results.

How do PRP and PRF benefit skin healing after laser treatments or surgery?

PRP and PRF are often used together to accelerate healing and improve skin quality after surgery or skin treatments. PRP’s growth factors stimulate tissue repair, while PRF’s fibrin matrix supports new tissue growth. Together, they reduce inflammation, minimize scarring, and enhance skin texture, promoting faster recovery and more natural-looking results.

Are PRP and PRF treatments safe, and are there any risks?

Both PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) treatments are considered very safe because they use your own blood, significantly reducing the risk of allergic reactions or infections. However, as with any medical procedure, there can be mild side effects such as temporary swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites. These side effects are typically short-lived and resolve within a few days. The key to safety lies in ensuring these treatments are performed by a qualified, experienced practitioner who understands the proper techniques and protocols. When administered correctly, the risks are minimal, and patients typically experience excellent outcomes.
