If you’ve been exploring regenerative treatments for skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, or overall healing, you’ve probably come across PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) and PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma). Both therapies use your own blood to promote tissue repair, but they work in slightly different ways and knowing the difference can help you choose the treatment that’s best for your goals.
Here at The Re/ Clinic in Sandy, Utah, we specialize in advanced regenerative therapies, including PRF and PRP, to help patients naturally restore youth, vitality, and healing.
What Are PRF and PRP?
Both PRF and PRP are platelet therapies derived from your own blood. Platelets are rich in growth factors, which act like messengers that signal your body to repair damaged tissues, boost collagen production, and support healing.
- PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): A liquid form of concentrated platelets, commonly used for skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, and joint healing.
- PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin): A more advanced form that includes fibrin, creating a natural scaffold that slowly releases growth factors over time. This can enhance healing and results compared to PRP.
How Do PRF and PRP Work? A Simple Analogy
Think of your body as a construction site: injuries or aging create “damage” that needs repair. Platelet therapies act as your project managers, delivering instructions and supplies where they’re needed most.
PRP: Sends instructions quickly, giving your body a short-term boost.
PRF: Sets up a longer-lasting framework, guiding your body to repair and regenerate over a longer period.
Key Differences Between PRF and PRP
| Feature | PRP | PRF |
|---|---|---|
| Growth Factor Release | Fast, short-term | Slow, extended release |
| Composition | Platelets + plasma | Platelets + fibrin + plasma |
| Best For | Quick rejuvenation, early healing | Longer-lasting results, enhanced collagen, hair restoration |
| Pain & Recovery | Minimal discomfort | Minimal discomfort, slightly thicker injection |
Benefits and Uses of PRF and PRP
Platelet therapy isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution, but it has shown promise for a wide range of patients, including those dealing with:
- Skin Rejuvenation: Smooth fine lines, improve texture, and boost glow.
- Hair Restoration: Stimulate dormant follicles and improve hair density.
- Wound Healing & Tissue Repair: Enhance recovery after injury or surgery.
