Platelet-Rich Fibrin
PRF(Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is a medical treatment that involves using a patient's own blood components to stimulate natural healing and rejuvenation. PRF is often used in various medical and cosmetic procedures due to its regenerative properties.
​
PRF is derived from the patient's own blood. A small amount of blood is drawn usually from the arm, similar to a routine blood test. This blood sample is then processed to separate and concentrate the platelets, growth factors, and fibrin. Nothing is added to it, no gels or chemicals.
The components of PRF include:
-
Platelets: Platelets are tiny cell fragments in your blood that play a crucial role in clotting and wound healing. They contain growth factors that can promote tissue repair and regeneration.
-
Fibrin: Fibrin is a protein that forms a network or scaffold, which helps in wound healing and tissue repair. It acts as a matrix that supports the platelets and growth factors.
​
At Lotus, PRF is applied topically or injected to improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and promote collagen production. It is used in conjunction with other facial rejuvenation treatments such as microneedling and facial peels.
​
It's used for to improve under-eye circles, darkness, and volume loss or hollowness. Because it's natural, there are no risks for filler migration or lumps/bumps under the eye.
​
We also use it for hair restoration. PRF can be injected into the scalp to stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth in cases of hair loss or thinning.
The Beauty Benefits of PRF:
Natural glow: PRF is all about enhancing your natural beauty. It stimulates collagen production, giving your skin a naturally radiant and youthful glow.
PRF also works to smooth signs of aging: fine lines and wrinkles
Dark spots: PRF can help reduce discoloration and restore a more even complexion.
No allergies to worry about: PRF is safe because it's made from your own blood, so there's virtually no risk of allergic reactions or complications.
