Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)

Skin Rejuvenation & Scalp Hair Restoration

Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a high concentration of platelets that is prepared from a small amount of your own blood. At Guthrie Facial Plastic Surgery, we use PRF in simple, in-office procedures to help rejuvenate the skin and to help address hair loss.

When used for hair loss, the growth factors in these platelets can stimulate activity in the hair follicles and promote new hair growth. When used for the face, the growth factors can stimulate rapid cell replenishment and rejuvenation of healthy cells by promoting collagen and elastin production.

PRF procedures start with drawing a small amount of blood, which is then placed into a centrifuge that separates the platelets from the other components of the blood. The resulting product is the platelet-rich fibrin, or PRF. Then, depending on the procedure, the PRF is either injected into targeted areas of the face, or into the scalp at the level of your hair follicles.

A powerful anti-aging solution, PRF for Facial Rejuvenation can help with the following:

• Stimulate collagen growth
• Tighten lax skin
• Improve skin tone
• Smooth out fine Ines and wrinkles
• Under eye circles

PRF is a suitable treatment for certain types of hair loss, such as androgenic alopecia, which could look like male-pattern baldness in men, or a widening part in women.
