Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF)
At PRP North, we are always looking to improve the services we provide in line with developments in medicine. In doing so, we have incorporated the use of PRF for both hair and skin treatments.
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a concentration of platelets, white blood cells, and fibrin derived from a patient's own blood.
It's a more advanced version of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP).

Benefits of PRF Over PRP
While both PRP and PRF offer regenerative benefits, PRF is often considered to have certain advantages:
-
Slower and sustained release of growth factors: PRF forms a fibrin matrix that gradually releases growth factors over several days, potentially leading to longer-lasting results compared to PRP's rapid release.
-
Higher concentration of growth factors: Some studies suggest that PRF contains a higher concentration of growth factors than PRP.
-
Presence of white blood cells: PRF includes white blood cells, which can contribute to the body's immune response and wound healing.
-
Natural and additive-free: PRF does not require any additional chemicals or anticoagulants during the preparation process, making it a more natural option.
It's important to note that the best choice between PRP and PRF depends on the specific condition being treated and individual patient factors.
While PRF offers several potential advantages, it's essential to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate treatment option.
PRF for Hair Growth
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) has shown promising results in treating hair loss. It's a natural and minimally invasive approach that harnesses your body's healing potential.
How does it work?
-
Rich in growth factors: PRF contains a high concentration of growth factors that stimulate hair follicles.
-
Fibrin matrix: The fibrin in PRF creates a supportive structure for new hair growth.
-
Improved blood circulation: PRF can enhance blood flow to the scalp, nourishing hair follicles.
Benefits of PRF for Hair Growth
-
Stimulates hair growth: By activating dormant hair follicles, PRF can promote new hair growth.
-
Thickens existing hair: It can improve hair density and diameter.
-
Improves hair quality: PRF can enhance hair strength and shine.
-
Natural and safe: Since it's derived from your own blood, the risk of allergic reactions is minimal.
