You have probably heard of Platelet-rich Plasma. Continued advancements in the autologous blood concentrate technology that created the next generation: Platelet-rich Fibrin. Platelet-rich Fibrin is a 100% natural and autologous gel like solution created using a slow centrifuge concept.
Easy 3 Steps
In order to obtain Platelet-rich Fibrin, it is necessary to spin the tubes at up to 6x the G-Force of the EZPlatelet-rich Fibrin process. The idea of the high spin method is to eliminate all Red Blood Cells (RBC), by pushing them down with gravitational force. It is a good idea, but spinning it too fast, for too long, Platelet-rich Fibrin methods also eliminate the cells that we DO want.
The prepared Platelet-rich Fibrin can be injected into multiple areas of the face for extended biostimulation to boost collagen and fibrin production. The potential treating areas include under the eyes, upper cheeks, and nasolabial folds. Overtime, it improves your skin’s tone and texture while treating the appearance of dark under eye circles, volume loss, fine lines, and wrinkles on the face.
Platelet-rich Fibrin is loaded with proteins and growth factors which stimulate the natural production of elastin and collagen in treated areas and includes white blood cells that fight infection and speed up the body’s healing response time.
One of the most impressive benefits of Platelet-rich Fibrin is that this preparation and application allows for the prolonged release of growth factors and elastin to enhance the repair and rejuvenation of skin quality to improve texture, tone, fine lines, wrinkles, the appearance of dark circles and more over the coming weeks.
Low speed centrifugation
Our specialized, slow-moving centrifuge allows for the separation of platelets, fibrin, and growth factors, making Platelet-rich Fibrin filler a superior product to standard Platelet-rich Fibrin. Once the Platelet-rich Fibrin is prepared, it will be injected to the facial areas that require rejuvenation. Most Platelet-rich Fibrin injection appointments generally are an hour or less and are not painful to experience.
The fibrin scaffold – the secret behind natural skin regeneration
Fibrin is the cell structure that allows for a slower release of the growth factors and cytokines in the Platelet-rich Fibrin. The continued release of these rejuvenating products into the skin following injection allows your skin to continuously producing its own collagen and fibrin.
Initial results can be seen immediately, with continuing improvements that appear for 3-6 months.
For patients who complete a series of 3 Platelet-rich Fibrin Filler treatments one month apart, results can last for up to 1 year. It is recommended that after completing your first series of treatments to return for re-treatment every 6-12 months
Hydrate and have a snack before your blood is drawn. Don’t take any blood-thinning medications or supplements for the week prior to your treatment. Do not drink any alcohol for three days prior.
Platelet-rich Plasma is spun at a higher speed, separating out the platelets, which are then injected. Platelet-rich Fibrin is spun at a slower speed, which causes the white cells, stem cells and platelets to be a part of the substance that is injected into the tissues.
Just like any injectable treatment, there may be redness, minor swelling, and bruising. In some cases, there may be a headache. These side effects generally pass within a few days at most.
Manager
Cristina has been in the aesthetics industry since 1995. As an Advanced Nurse Injector, her philosophy on injections may differ from most, but she believes a more natural and refreshed look is beautiful. In working with several plastic surgeons over her career, she was able to see this firsthand and has incorporated it into her treatment plans.
She loves educating patients so they can make the best decision for themselves. When patients leave their chairs happy and with a little more pep, that makes her very happy! It’s empowering to be able to help someone feel more self-confident. Outside of work, she likes to play pickleball, watch sports, hike, work out, travel, and spend time with family.
