PRF stands for “platelet rich fibrin” and it is the next step in the evolution of natural skin and hair rejuvenation. PRF is a fibrin matrix comprised of platelet cytokines, growth factors and cells used to help promote skin rejuvenation, hair growth and wound healing. PRF is used to address many of the same issues as PRP, but PRF releases growth factors for much longer, up to one week, versus PRP which releases growth factors for few hours. This means that PRF could have better longer-term benefits. The growth factors are what stimulate the stem cells to improve collagen and elastin in the skin and promote hair growth. The platelets in PRF are thought to be more robust than those in PRP, and to therefore promote faster healing. The prepared PRF is immediately ready for injection into the scalp to aid with hair restoration and growth.
