PLATELET-RICH FIRBIN
Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) have their roots in regenerative medicine, where they have been widely used for years to accelerate healing in various medical fields, including orthopedics, dentistry, and wound care. Originally, these treatments were employed to enhance tissue repair and recovery by leveraging the body’s natural healing processes. As the science behind PRF evolved, their potential in aesthetics became clear. Today, PRF are thriving as innovative treatments for skin rejuvenation and hair restoration. They provide a natural, minimally invasive option for those seeking to improve their appearance without the need for surgery or synthetic products, making them an increasingly popular choice in aesthetic medicine.

Uses of PRF at Mewa Medical
1. Skin Rejuvenation
Fine Lines and Wrinkles: PRP and PRF can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen production and promoting the regeneration of new, healthy skin cells.
Improved Skin Texture: Both treatments can improve the texture of your skin, reducing the appearance of scars, large pores, and uneven tone.
Under-Eye Hollows and Dark Circles: PRF are especially effective for treating the delicate under-eye area, helping to reduce hollows and lighten dark circles.
2. Hair Restoration
Thinning Hair: PRP and PRF are popular treatments for those experiencing hair thinning or early-stage hair loss. The growth factors in PRF stimulate hair follicles, encouraging new growth and strengthening existing hair.
Balding Areas: For those with more significant hair loss, PRF can help to revitalize dormant hair follicles, promoting the growth of new hair in balding areas.
What to Expect at Your Treatment
The PRP and PRF procedures are relatively quick and straightforward, taking 30 minutes on average.
-
The first step is a simple blood draw, similar to what you would experience during a routine blood test.
-
Your blood sample is then processed in a centrifuge to create a fibrin-rich matrix (for PRF).
-
The concentrated platelets or fibrin are injected into the targeted areas of your skin or scalp using a fine needle. The injections are typically well-tolerated, and any discomfort is minimal.
-
After the procedure, you may experience mild redness or swelling at the injection sites, which usually resolves within a few hours to a couple of days. Since the treatment uses your own blood, there is minimal risk of allergic reactions or side effects.
