PRP vs PRF: What’s the Difference and Which Is Better for You? PRP Kingston

At Bespoke Hair MD in Kingston, Ontario, we specialize in regenerative treatments that use your body’s own healing power — including Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF).Both are natural, safe, and effective options for skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, and healing, but there are key differences that can help determine which one is right for you.

🩸 What Is PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)?

Platelet-Rich Plasma, or PRP, is a well-established treatment that enhances healing and collagen production using concentrated platelets from your own blood.

How PRP works:

• A small blood sample is drawn and spun in a centrifuge at a high speed.

• This process separates the plasma layer rich in growth factors from the red blood cells.

• The plasma is then applied or injected into the skin or scalp.

Benefits of PRP:

• Boosts collagen production and skin elasticity

• Improves fine lines, scars, and texture

• Stimulates dormant hair follicles

• Ideal for patients wanting faster visible results

💎 What Is PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)?

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is the next generation of PRP — a more advanced, natural formulation that delivers longer-lasting rejuvenation.

How PRF works:

• Your blood is spun at a lower speed, with no anticoagulants or additives.

• This allows the platelets, white blood cells, and stem cells to remain in a fibrin matrix.

• Growth factors are released slowly over time, creating sustained tissue regeneration.

Benefits of PRF:

• 100% natural — no additives or chemicals

• Higher concentration of platelets and stem cells

• Gradual, prolonged collagen stimulation

• Excellent for under-eye rejuvenation, skin texture, and long-term hair restoration

🧬 Which Treatment Should You Choose?

Both PRP and PRF deliver real, regenerative results — the best option depends on your goals.

• For skin rejuvenation: PRF offers a slow, natural release of growth factors, improving tone, texture, and elasticity over time.

• For hair restoration: PRP stimulates immediate hair growth activity, while PRF provides ongoing nourishment for stronger, thicker regrowth.

• For combination therapy: Many patients at Bespoke Skin MD see optimal results from a customized PRP + PRF protocol.
