PRP is a concentrated solution made from a small volume of your own blood. The best way to understand the power of PRP is to think about the components of your blood.
Your blood consists of solids, like red and white blood cells, suspended in liquids like plasma. Platelets are a type of solid in your blood and are responsible for your blood’s clotting abilities. Platelets are rich in special proteins called growth factors that speed cellular function.
Creating PRP involves isolating the platelets from a sample of blood, then returning them to the now-cleared plasma. This produces a new solution that speeds cellular turnover and reduces inflammation.
PRF is also made from a small amount of your blood. PRF contains platelets and plasma, but the process used to produce the solution also retains fibrin.
Fibrin is a scaffold-like structure that sustains the platelets for a longer period of time, giving your cells more time to benefit.
During your consultation at IVY Infusions, our nurses will discuss the benefits of both PRP and PRF and guide you toward the treatment best suited for your specific needs and goals. The process of creating both solutions is swift and painless.
There are numerous ways that PRP and PRF can be integrated into medical aesthetic treatments. The solutions, which are created using in-office technology, can be administered via a series of shallow injections or spread over the skin during treatments like microneedling.
