Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) | Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF)
In Fort Langley, Canada
Introduction to Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) | Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF)
At Skin Secrets in Fort Langley, we specialize in regenerative aesthetic treatments that activate your body’s natural ability to heal and restore itself. Two of our most advanced options, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) offer powerful, non-synthetic solutions for skin rejuvenation and hair restoration.
These treatments harness your own blood’s healing factors to stimulate collagen production, improve tissue health, and reactivate hair follicles. Whether you’re looking to smooth fine lines, brighten tired eyes, or combat early hair thinning, PRP/PRF offers a safe, effective, and chemical-free way to achieve long-term results.
What Is PRP/PRF and How Do They Work?
Your Body. Your Healing Power.
Both PRP and PRF are derived from your own blood—but they’re not the same.
- PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a concentrated solution of platelets and growth factors obtained through a quick blood draw and centrifugation process. It has been used for decades in both medical and cosmetic treatments to accelerate tissue repair, collagen stimulation, and hair regrowth.
- PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is the next evolution of PRP. It contains not only platelets and growth factors, but also white blood cells and a fibrin matrix that allows for slower, longer-lasting release of regenerative properties. Unlike PRP, PRF is spun more gently and contains no additives, making it 100% natural and even more biocompatible.
BENEFITS OF PRP | PRF
Stimulates Collagen for Firmer, Healthier Skin
PRP uses your body’s own platelets to stimulate collagen production, helping to improve skin firmness, smoothness, and texture naturally. It’s ideal for those seeking gradual, regenerative results with minimal intervention and no synthetic fillers.
Long-lasting rejuvenation effect
PRF releases growth factors more slowly than PRP, extending their benefits over several days. This allows for more sustained collagen support, giving your skin or hair a longer-lasting boost from a single session.
Gentle option for delicate areas
PRF is especially well suited for fragile zones like the under-eye area or fine lip lines. Its slow-release formula makes it ideal for targeting crepiness, dark circles, or skin thinning without using dermal fillers.
All-natural and additive-free
Different to PRP, PRF contains no additives or anticoagulants. It’s spun at lower speeds to preserve white blood cells and fibrin, making it 100% natural, biocompatible, and safe for clients looking for a clean, holistic approach.
Improves tone and scarring
PRP enhances your skin’s natural healing, which can improve tone, reduce acne scars, and smooth rough texture. It’s an excellent choice for patients looking for a more even, radiant complexion without downtime or harsh resurfacing.
Hair thinning prevention
PRP is a safe, non-surgical option for treating early-stage hair loss by awakening dormant hair follicles. The growth factors promote stronger, thicker strands, making it ideal for men and women noticing thinning or shedding at the crown or hairline.
How many PRP/PRF sessions will I need?
Most patients require a series of 3–4 sessions, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. Maintenance treatments every 6–12 months can help prolong benefits, especially for hair restoration or ongoing skin support. Our Consultation process will give you the insight you need.
What’s the difference between PRP and PRF—how do I choose?
PRF contains more regenerative cells and releases them more slowly, offering longer-lasting results and better outcomes in delicate areas. During your consultation, we’ll assess your goals and recommend the most suitable option for your needs.
Is there any downtime after treatment?
Downtime is minimal. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness for 1–3 days, especially if combined with microneedling or scalp injections. Most clients resume regular activities right after treatment.
