PRF vs. PRP: Which Regenerative Therapy Is Right for You?

If you’re searching for the best ways to naturally restore skin youthfulness or combat early hair loss in Calgary, you’ve likely heard about regenerative therapies like PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin). Both harness your body’s own healing powers to rejuvenate skin and stimulate hair follicles, but choosing between them can be confusing. At Best Skin, we offer both PRP and PRF therapies, and our expertise can help guide you to the treatment best suited to your needs and lifestyle.

Understanding PRP and PRF: How These Treatments Work

Both PRP and PRF begin with a small blood sample. After spinning the sample in a centrifuge, the resulting concentrate is injected or microneedled into target areas to accelerate natural healing and regeneration. The difference lies in preparation and effect:

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

- Centrifuged at higher speed to separate platelets in plasma

- Releases growth factors rapidly upon injection

- Used to boost collagen and speed up tissue repair

- Popular for facial rejuvenation and early hair thinning

PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)

- Centrifuged at a lower speed, preserving more white blood cells and a fibrin mesh

- No chemical additives or anticoagulants are used

- Releases growth factors gradually, extending their regenerative effects

- Especially helpful for under-eye hollows, delicate skin, and more resistant hair loss

At Best Skin, both PRP and PRF are completely personalized for your goals and facial anatomy, using only advanced, medical-grade technology.

PRP and PRF Applications at Best Skin

Our team uses these regenerative therapies to address a variety of aesthetic concerns in Calgary, including:

- Skin texture and tone improvement

- Fine line and wrinkle reduction, especially around the eyes, mouth, and forehead

- Under-eye circle and volume correction

- Hair restoration for thinning patches or receding hairlines

- Enhanced healing after microneedling or laser procedures

When to Choose PRP

PRP is a popular treatment in Calgary’s medspa scene because it:

- Delivers a rapid dose of growth factors for quick skin brightening or hair stimulation

- Is cost-effective for those seeking introductory regenerative therapy

- Is effective for clients new to advanced aesthetics or addressing early-stage concerns

- Provides noticeable radiance and subtle plumping after just a few sessions

When to Choose PRF

PRF is ideal if you want:

- Longer-lasting, gradual improvement with fewer treatments

- Completely additive-free, organic therapy

- Targeted treatment for delicate facial zones (such as tear troughs)

- An option for more advanced skin or hair concerns, including previously stubborn areas
