Every innovative treatment comes with promise. Whether it be anti-ageing effects, skin tightening benefits, or pigmentation clearing, results that speak for themselves are the ultimate win. However, for outcomes that truly impress you, your skin therapy should essentially adopt a specific approach. Yes, seeing instant to quick fixes makes you feel happy in the moment, but where’s the longevity? Skin Renewal always supports a skin journey, and so treatments like Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) are there for the long haul. PRF also means a more natural approach, yet with all the advancements of the latest anti-ageing and skin health innovations. Curious? You should be.
Regenerative Powers: How PRF Helps Unlock Youthful Skin
Our own bodies are able to reveal the answer to so many health challenges, including skin conditions and ageing concerns. In other words, your own system often offers the solutions. Autologous treatments literally mean “from your own body.” So, instead of putting in unknown substances (including chemicals and toxins), next-generation treatments have evolved to work more naturally, supercharging biological elements. Hence, your treatment works harder – and safer - for you. This means a further lease on life – for skin, it can lead to very necessary healing, fresh collagen production, and cellular renewal. And, it’s all thanks to your own blood.
A similar process to Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), blood is drawn, spun, and reintroduced to the skin for the purpose of feeding it with growth factors. These growth factors are the skin savers, rejuvenating your complexion through line and wrinkle smoothing, improving tone, texture, and elasticity, and subtle volume restoration. The process of PRF differs from PRP, meaning its slow-release method comes with a longevity approach. Other factors help unlock youthful skin over time, too, and if you’re a “good things come to those who wait” type, PRF may be the autologous antidote you’ve been searching for.
Slow Yet Steady: Why Beautiful Rejuvenation Takes Time
Time to hit the science books; the actual process of PRF is called centrifugation, and it’s simply a medical term for spinning a collected sample of blood. For PRF treatment, the blood is purposely spun gently (at a lower rate than PRP) without anticoagulants. This is how platelets, fibrin, and stem cells can be isolated. Fibrin is a very important protein gained through this method; it’s essentially a wound healer. The end result of centrifugation is that growth factors from the fibrin matrix can be collected and formulated into a serum, which can then be injected or micro-needled into the skin. In other words, your blood goes from simply running through your veins to becoming a self-healing cocktail that repairs your complexion over time.
By sending signals to the skin to heal, a PRF treatment stimulates the creation of more collagen and elastin. For issues like fine lines and wrinkles, loss of elasticity and even hair loss, PRF steps in with a sustained solution.
It’s A Match: Combined Treatments For Successful Skin Wins
As Skin Renewal always advocates our doctor-led approach, PRF performs in perfect harmony – and highly successfully – with combined treatments that restore skin health and longevity too:
- R.Pen – This device features the advanced LED-Derma BioLights system, which uses multi-wavelength LED light therapy to enhance treatment efficacy. The R.Pen stands out by offering customizable, precise, and technologically advanced microneedling treatments with the additional benefit of targeted LED light therapy to improve efficacy and recovery.
- Microneedling/Dermapen - this particular device-driven tech stimulates natural collagen and elastin production, too. It also refines skin texture, increases firmness, and pushes active ingredients deeper into the skin. Basically, it’s PRF’s best friend.
- Laser and Fractional Radiofrequency treatments – in particular Laser Genesis, Pico Toning Laser, and FSR (Fractional Skin Rejuvenation with 3DEEP Radiofrequency Technology). Our expert medical doctors recommend PRF done immediately after these transformative treatments as a way to increase skin regeneration benefits.
- Dermal Fillers – while a more instant means to skin success, the two therapies complement results through tackling volume loss and decreasing wrinkles in a natural way. Heighten the health of your skin and boost its scaffold, all while working with fillers to restore what needs help in the short term.
Longer-lasting results are feel-good for many reasons, including fewer sessions needed, being friendly on the pocket, and sustained regeneration, among other benefits. This mindset has become part of our modern world – endurable, slow living. Ultimately, though, it’s your skin and you should always have the treatment you want and of course, need. And that’s Skin Renewal’s ethos; we’re here for you and the journey you’re on. Whether it results in a short space of time, or a goal you’re working towards over the next few months – or even years – redefining youthful skin is our aim. Let’s do this together.
