Have you ever heard of that expression “growing older is mandatory, but growing up is optional”? Well, we may grow older in years, but that doesn’t mean that we have to like it! And, sometimes, the aging process strikes early, which can be really frustrating. Different factors such as sun exposure, lifestyle habits, and even genetics, can play a role in how we age.
How often do you find yourself looking in the mirror, scrutinizing your appearance? Perhaps you’ve started to notice little lines on your face or lost volume. You may have also started to notice skin discoloration or texture changes in different areas of your body. You might not be able to stop time, but you can still turn back the clock!
At Clarity Medical Aesthetics, we offer several procedures to help restore the youthfulness of your appearance, including PRF, or platelet rich fibrin. PRF is similar to PRP (platelet rich plasma)….but even more advanced!
Here are 4 reasons why you should give it a try.
1. PRF is 100% natural.
PRF is a treatment that involves the use of your body’s own platelets, which is one of this treatment’s most unique qualities. Your treatment begins with a blood draw, no different than one you might have at a lab. The blood is then spun in a centrifuge, which separates out the PRF (platelet rich fibrin).2. Growth factors in PRF are your own anti-aging treatment.
The growth factors found in PRF are key to helping reverse the telltale signs of aging. It has a higher concentration of platelets, fibrin, and white blood cells, along with a small amount of stem cells. The platelets attach to the fibrin network and release the growth factors that are responsible for creating new skin cells, collagen, and blood vessels. The growth factors in PRF are also released slower than in PRP, which provides the added bonus of a longer lasting anti-aging treatment!3. PRF can be used anywhere on the body and face.
PRF has been used in the medical field to promote faster healing following surgical procedures, such as bone grafts, dental implants, and more. It can also promote healing following cosmetic surgery procedures. Strategically injected, PRF can be placed anywhere on the face or body, which can then lead to an improvement in texture, tone, discoloration, and the overall health of your skin.4. PRF can be combined with other treatments for even greater improvement.
We offer a variety of different treatments that are aimed at improving the appearance of your skin and helping you to achieve the younger skin you’ve been longing for. These treatments include dermal fillers (Sculptra, Radiesse, Restylane, Juvederm, etc.), laser treatments, radio frequency, and microneedling. All of these treatments offer their own unique benefits. Even different fillers have different properties that make them unique. PRF can be used with any combination of these treatments in order to provide greater improvement and help you to achieve your specific goals. PRF is a 100% pure blood product with higher concentrations of healing platelets versus PRP (platelet rich plasma). And it releases growth factors over a longer period of time—all contained right in your own body! PRF is a unique treatment in that it uses your body’s own healing cells for more youthful skin. Kati has been performing AND teaching the art of PRP for years, and PRF is the next step in the modern evolution of stem cells and growth factors.
