PRP/PRF

Schedule An Appointment

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is ideal for individuals looking to enhance their body’s natural healing process for a variety of conditions. It is commonly used by those seeking non-surgical options for joint pain, tendon injuries, or osteoarthritis, as well as those recovering from sports injuries. PRP is also popular among individuals looking for skin rejuvenation, wrinkle reduction, or hair restoration, offering a natural way to boost collagen production and stimulate hair growth.
Because PRP uses a patient’s own blood, it is a safe and minimally invasive option for people who want to avoid synthetic treatments or more invasive procedures. It’s suitable for patients who desire faster healing, improved skin appearance, or natural hair regrowth without the risks associated with surgery or pharmaceuticals.

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is ideal for individuals seeking a natural, long-lasting regenerative treatment for skin rejuvenation, wound healing, or hair restoration. PRF is especially beneficial for those looking for slower, more sustained release of growth factors to promote healing over time. It’s commonly used in aesthetic treatments to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and enhance overall skin health, as well as in dental or surgical procedures to support tissue regeneration.
PRF is a great option for people who prefer treatments without additives, as it uses no anticoagulants or preservatives. It’s suitable for patients who want a more holistic approach to healing, with its slow-release properties making it ideal for those needing gradual tissue repair and regeneration.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)

PRP and PRF are advanced treatments that utilize components of a patient's own blood to promote healing and tissue regeneration. Both PRP and PRF therapies harness the power of platelets, which are rich in growth factors that aid in the body’s natural healing processes, but they differ slightly in preparation and biological composition.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
PRP is a treatment in which a small amount of the patient’s blood is drawn and then spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from other blood components. The concentrated plasma, which contains a high number of platelets, is then injected into the targeted area. These platelets release growth factors and proteins that stimulate tissue repair, collagen production, and the regeneration of cells.

  • Aesthetic Treatments: PRP is often used in skin rejuvenation procedures, such as microneedling or facial injections, to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and improve skin texture and elasticity.
  • Orthopedic Medicine: It’s widely used for joint pain, tendon injuries, and osteoarthritis to help regenerate damaged tissue and reduce inflammation.
  • Hair Restoration: PRP can be injected into the scalp to stimulate hair follicle growth and treat thinning hair or early hair loss.

Benefits of PRP: Since PRP uses the patient’s own blood, it reduces the risk of allergic reactions or infections. Its regenerative properties make it a popular choice for both aesthetic and therapeutic purposes, speeding up recovery and promoting natural healing.

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)
PRF is a second-generation platelet therapy that is also derived from the patient’s blood but differs from PRP in the way it’s processed. PRF is spun at a lower speed in the centrifuge, allowing for the preservation of not only platelets but also white blood cells and a fibrin matrix. This fibrin scaffold helps slowly release growth factors over time, leading to a longer-lasting regenerative effect.

  • Aesthetic Treatments: Like PRP, PRF is used in skin rejuvenation, often for facial volume loss, improving skin tone, and healing acne scars.
  • Wound Healing: PRF is known for its wound-healing capabilities and is often used in dental surgeries or to treat soft tissue injuries.
  • Hair Restoration: Similar to PRP, PRF can stimulate hair growth by slowly releasing growth factors over a prolonged period.

Benefits of PRF: One key advantage of PRF over PRP is that it contains no additives—no anticoagulants or preservatives are used in the preparation. PRF also has a longer-lasting effect due to the slow release of growth factors, providing more sustained healing and regeneration.

Differences Between PRP and PRF

  • Centrifugation Process: PRP is spun at a higher speed, separating more of the blood components, while PRF is spun at a lower speed to retain more platelets and white blood cells.
  • Additives: PRP usually requires an anticoagulant to prevent clotting, whereas PRF does not, allowing it to form a natural fibrin scaffold.
  • Release of Growth Factors: PRP releases growth factors quickly after injection, while PRF releases them more gradually over time due to the fibrin matrix.

At Anastasis Health, Dr. Kumar and his team use both PRP and PRF as part of their regenerative medicine offerings, helping patients heal more efficiently and rejuvenate their appearance naturally. Whether for skin, joint repair, or hair restoration, these therapies offer innovative, minimally invasive options to enhance healing and promote tissue regeneration.
