Platelet-Rich Fibrin, or PRF, is a concentration of plasma, platelets, and 7 different growth factors harnessed through a specific centrifugal process. PRF is the second generation of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and is generally considered more effective than PRP. PRF has a higher concentration of platelets and white blood cells than PRP, triggering greater regeneration where applied. Also, the fibrin provides a scaffolding to build new skin cells and enhance the quality and amount of existing cells wherever it is injected. Shape Aesthetics + Wellness uses PRF for two distinct purposes: skin rejuvenation and hair restoration.

PRF plays a huge role in reversing the aging process by encouraging the creation of new skin cells, collagen, and blood vessels. At your treatment, you can expect a quick and painless blood draw; from there, the blood spins in a centrifuge, and the PRF is extracted. The PRF is then injected in different areas of the face depending on what the provider thinks is necessary to meet the client’s expectations. Clients can expect to see improvement in skin texture, tightening of the skin, and reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. We recommend doing a series of these treatments for best results, and results can usually last up to one year.

Both PRF & PRF Gel harness the regenerative properties of platelets & growth factors to stimulate tissue repair, collagen production, & overall rejuvenation. The choice between PRF & PRF Gel depends on the specific application & desired our come in aesthetic procedures as their main difference is their physical consistency.
