Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) therapies are advanced regenerative solutions used to support natural healing in both aesthetic and medical applications.
At The Medical Clinic New York City, patients can utilize these treatments for improved skin health, enhanced hair growth, and more. Under the direction of Dr. Nicolas Batty, board-certified in aesthetic medicine, we offer expert guidance to help you regain your confidence.
What Is PRP?
PRP is derived from a sample of your own blood. After the blood is drawn, it’s processed in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma. This plasma contains growth factors and cytokines that are believed to stimulate cell repair, collagen production, and tissue regeneration.
PRP is frequently used for:
- Acne scarring and skin texture concerns
- Facial rejuvenation and volume loss
- Hair thinning or hair loss
What Is PRF?
PRF is a next-generation platelet concentrate that also comes from your blood but is spun at a lower speed and contains no additives. It forms a fibrin matrix that traps platelets, white blood cells, and stem cells, allowing for a slower, more sustained release of healing factors.
PRF is commonly used to address under-eye hollows, fine lines, and wrinkles. Some have also turned to it for faster wound-healing and scar reduction.
In some cases, PRF is preferred because it’s 100% natural, is absorbed more slowly, and offers longer-lasting biological effects.
Ideal Candidates for PRP and PRF
The best candidates are healthy individuals who are not on blood thinners and have realistic expectations. A consultation is necessary to determine if PRP or PRF is appropriate for your needs.
Safety and Side Effects
Because PRP and PRF treatments use your own blood, the risk of allergic reactions or complications is low.
Potential side effects may include pain at the injection site and infection. To minimize these risks, the MCNYC team conducts thorough pre-treatment evaluations and administers injections under sterile conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most patients experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection site. These effects usually resolve within 24–72 hours.
Results vary based on the condition being treated. For cosmetic uses like hair restoration or facial aesthetics, a series of 3–4 treatments spaced several weeks apart may be recommended.
PRP results often last 6–12 months, while PRF may deliver benefits for up to a year or longer, depending on the individual and the treatment area.
