Why do PRF vs PRP? |Is it worth it at all?

My first advanced procedure! What are they? What is the difference?
Why do them?

Keep on watching! I do explain more below. Give a like & subscribe if you want to see more content like this and TIA!

PRP means Platelet Rich Plasma and PRF means Platelet Rich Fibrin.

WHAT ARE THE TREATMENTS?
Both of these treatments will take the epidermal growth factor out of our own plasma and re-inject it back into the skin to help increase the skins thickness, increase skin's luminosity and help minimize the signs of aging by increasing the production of fibroblasts. Fibroblasts are responsible for Type I collagen production in our tissue.

So the main reason why I decided to pursue these types of treatments was  they can help increase your body's ability to produce collagen.  I have a lot of fine lines under my eyes I which is why I thought I would start there. The investment was $200.

Although there are some similarities between PRP & PRF it is the differences between these two products that makes the PRF stand out as a superior treatment option. 

Essentially both procedures require blood to be drawn and placed in a centrifuge when the blood is then processed to help separate the blood into distinct layers.

PRP
PRP is spun at a higher speed which allows for the lighter platelets & plasma to collect in the top part of the test tube.  The platelets and plasma are then collected from the upper part of the test tube & injected back into the face. 

PRF
The PRF is spun at a lower speed so that the layers of the blood are not as distinct which allows some white blood cells and stem cells to remain in the platelet layer that is collected for treatment.  There are more healing factors within the PRF than is typically seen in the PRP. The lower spin speed causes less trauma to the individual cells of the blood allowing more stem cells to remain in the final product.

ANOTHER DIFFERENCE
The concentration of platelets also varies. The ideal platelet concentration within a PRP sample should be 2-5 times the level of platelets typically found in the body.  However newer research states that the concentration sample taken using PRF is 10 times the concentration amount found in the body.

FINAL
Lastly when taking a PRF sample no anticoagulent is used during the processing of the blood. With PRP the blood collected is placed in tubes that have use a anticoagulent which keeps product from clotting too quickly. This helps to keep the PRP as natural as possible.

RESULTS
Results can take up to six weeks and l continue to improve over the next 3-6 months. These results can last about 6 mo's to a year.

FREQUENCY
It's recommend 2-4 times to really continue to see those results.

WOULD I DO IT AGAIN?
Yes I plan on doing this agin. Yes there was bruising but that is easy to cover and temporary. I've seen a large enough improvement in the skin under my eyes that i feel it's worth continuing.

Put in the comments your thoughts! If you have had this procedure or a similar one I would like to hear how it turned out for you.
