PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is an advanced skincare treatment that uses the healing properties of one’s blood to rejuvenate the skin and restore tissues. It involves drawing blood from a patient and spinning it in a centrifuge to separate fibrin and platelets. The resulting substance, rich in growth factors, is applied or injected into the targeted areas of the skin. PRF treatment can address various skin issues, including wrinkles, scars, and under-eye hollows. Applying it to the scalp can also stimulate hair growth.
