Biological treatments with the power of the patient’s own blood plasma
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) represent the next generation of autologous treatments in regenerative medicine and aesthetic dermatology. By utilizing the patient’s own blood plasma as a source of growth factors and biological stimulation, these methods enable natural tissue regeneration with minimal risks.
As a clinic, you can offer effective, safe and versatile solutions for everything from skin rejuvenation to treating hair loss, joint pain and muscle/tendon problems.
What are PRP and PRF – and how do they work?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
PRP is obtained by centrifuging a blood sample to isolate the plasma layer that is rich in platelets. These platelets are loaded with growth factors such as PDGF, TGF-β, VEGF and others, which stimulate angiogenesis, collagen production, cell proliferation and anti-inflammatory processes.
Indications:
- Skin rejuvenation (face, neck, décolletage)
- Androgenetic alopecia
- Acne scars
- Inflammatory joint diseases
- Tendon and muscle injuries
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)
PRF is a further development of PRP where a slower centrifugation and absence of anticoagulants creates a biological fibrin matrix. This acts as a “slow release” platform that gradually releases growth factors over several days, resulting in longer lasting tissue regeneration.
Advantage: Slower, more controlled healing effect with stronger regenerative response.
Five clinical benefits of PRP/PRF
- Natural & Autologous Treatment
Since the treatment comes from the patient’s own blood, the risk of allergic reactions, infection or rejection is virtually non-existent. - Biological healing stimulus
The injections deliver concentrated growth factors directly to the injured area and accelerate the body’s natural repair ability. - Minimally invasive method
Requires only vein sampling and injection – without the need for surgery, anesthesia or long recovery times. - Anti-inflammatory effect
Several of the growth factors (e.g. TGF-β) reduce local inflammatory processes, improving function, comfort and healing environment. - Broad therapeutic indication
PRP/PRF is suitable for use in dermatology, orthopedics, sports medicine and aesthetic treatments.
Combine PRP/PRF with other treatments in clinic
PRP and PRF can be combined with microneedling, mesotherapy, hyaluronic acid or laser treatments for a synergistic effect. You can also integrate PRP/PRF as a supportive treatment after, for example, hair transplantation or injection treatments.
Examples of integrated treatments:
- Microneedling + PRP
- PRF + HA-filler
- PRP + Exosomes for hair
Summary for clinicians
PRP and PRF are biologically active treatments that combine safety with efficacy, without synthetic additives. With broad indication and high patient acceptance, it is an investment that brings both results and added value to your clinic.
