How do PRF injections work?
PRF injections work by stimulating your body's natural healing processes. The fibrin matrix, filled with platelets, releases growth factors over time, which enhances tissue regeneration and healing.
How are PRF injections different from PRP injections?
Unlike PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), PRF does not require anticoagulants and contains a higher concentration of platelets, leukocytes, and a fibrin matrix, which results in a slower, sustained release of growth factors.
What areas can be treated with PRF injections?
PRF injections are commonly used for facial rejuvenation, under-eye hollows, scars, hair loss treatment, and in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures to improve healing.
Are there any side effects of PRF injections?
Side effects are minimal since PRF is derived from your own blood, reducing the risk of allergic reactions. Common side effects include mild swelling, redness, and bruising at the injection site.
How long does it take to see results from PRF injections?
Results can vary, but typically, initial improvements can be seen within a few weeks, with more significant results appearing after several months as the body produces new tissue.
How long do the effects of PRF injections last?
The effects of PRF injections can last for several months to years, depending on the individual's response, the area treated, and lifestyle factors.
How often can PRF injections be done?
The frequency of PRF injections can vary based on the treatment area and desired outcomes. Typically, treatments are spaced several months apart to allow for maximal tissue regeneration.
