Yes, there are subtle yet important differences between PRP and PRF when it comes to hair loss treatments. Both use your own blood for regeneration, but here’s the breakdown for AIVI Aesthetics Agoura Hills:
- PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): As described above, PRP involves a higher centrifuge speed, creating a concentration of platelets mainly.
- PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin): PRF uses a slower centrifuge speed, leading to a solution that includes platelets, white blood cells, and a fibrin matrix. This fibrin matrix can act as a scaffolding to potentially extend the release of those beneficial growth factors from the platelets.
Which is better? Research is ongoing, but both PRP and PRF deliver valuable growth factors, and the ideal choice often depends on your specific needs and goals. Your AIVI Aesthetics practitioner will recommend the most suitable option for your hair restoration journey.
