Regenerative Consultations
PRF Consultation
PRF, or platelet-rich fibrin, is an autologous blood-derived preparation used in selected regenerative and aesthetic treatment plans.
A consultation allows assessment of your concerns, medical history and treatment goals before deciding whether PRF is appropriate.
What Is PRF?
PRF stands for platelet-rich fibrin.
It is prepared from a patient’s own blood using a processing method designed to produce a fibrin-rich preparation containing selected blood components.
Its clinical use depends on the treatment indication and individual assessment.
What May PRF Be Considered For?
Depending on the clinical indication, PRF may be discussed for:
- Selected facial rejuvenation concerns
- Skin-quality treatment
- Areas requiring regenerative support
- Hair or scalp treatment in selected patients
PRF is not effective for everyone, and results cannot be guaranteed.
How Is PRF Different From PRP?
PRP and PRF are both derived from the patient’s own blood, but they are prepared differently and have different physical characteristics.
The choice between PRP, PRF or another treatment depends on:
- Treatment objective
- Treatment area
- Medical history
- Product characteristics
- Clinical judgement
What Happens During a PRF Consultation?
The consultation may include:
- Review of your concern
- Medical history
- Previous cosmetic or regenerative treatments
- Discussion of treatment options
- Potential risks
- Expected limitations
- Alternative treatments
