Platelet-Rich Plasma & Fibrin (Skin)

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) use a small sample of your own blood, spun to concentrate its platelets and growth factors, which is then injected to stimulate skin repair and rejuvenation. Because the material is your own, it is well tolerated and a natural option for improving skin quality, including the delicate area under the eyes. A short course gives the most noticeable results.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) are regenerative treatments that harness your own blood's healing components. A small sample is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets, which are rich in growth factors that signal tissue repair and collagen production; fibrin preparations release these factors more slowly for a sustained effect. The concentrate is then injected into the skin to rejuvenate tone, texture and firmness. At Jurenko Clinic the process — blood draw, preparation and treatment — takes around forty-five to sixty minutes, with numbing cream applied for comfort. The clinic offers protocols for the eye area, the full face, the face and neck, and the face, neck and décolleté, as well as targeted use on the lips and on individual scars. Because the material is entirely your own, there is no risk of allergy to a foreign substance, which makes PRP and PRF a popular choice for patients who prefer a natural approach. Expect mild redness or small bruises for a day or two. Results build gradually as collagen remodels over several weeks, so a course of around three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart is recommended, with maintenance once or twice a year. These treatments suit dull or tired skin, fine lines and the thin, crêpey skin under the eyes, and can be combined with microneedling for a stronger effect. Suitability is assessed at consultation; they are not performed in pregnancy or in certain blood or clotting conditions.
