PRP, PRF, and DermaFiller
Have you been looking for a natural way to look more youthful and rejuvenated? PRP, PRF, and DermaFiller treatments are highly effective methods that use components from your body to achieve stunning results. These treatments harness your body’s natural healing properties to help you reach your wellness and beauty goals, refresh skin, prevent aging, and give you a glow like no other.
What is PRP?
Introduction
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is an innovative skin treatment renowned for its ability to enhance natural beauty and rejuvenate the skin. This therapy effectively creates a more youthful appearance by extracting platelets from your blood and re-injecting them into targeted areas.
What is PRF?
Introduction
PRF, or platelet-rich fibrin, is similar to PRP (platelet-rich plasma) as it is derived from your own blood. Just like during PRP treatment, your provider will draw your blood and spin it in a centrifuge to separate its components, including red and white blood cells, plasma, and platelets.
PRF injections can boost the production of key skin components like collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, helping you maintain a youthful appearance and feel.
Target Treatment Areas of PRP and PRF
Both PRP and PRF can target similar treatment areas, although there are some differences in how they work that we’ll discuss later. These treatments can help:
- Promote the growth and formation of new skin cells
- Stimulate blood flow
- Hydrate the skin
- Reduce skin laxity
- Treat dullness, age spots, scarring, and stretch marks
- Even skin tone
- Brighten the area under the eyes
Together, these benefits can help contribute to a more youthful appearance overall and help prevent further signs of aging as you build new, healthy skin cells through treatments at The Aesthetic Edit.

PRP vs. PRF: Benefits and Considerations for Both Treatments
PRP and PRF offer very similar benefits and are carried out in virtually the same manner. Both treatments use components of your blood to heal, restore, and rejuvenate your skin. However, there are some key differences.
Amount of Growth Factors
PRF contains 8 to 10 times more growth factors than PRP. When blood is processed in a centrifuge, the heavier components settle at the bottom of the tube. In traditional PRP, platelets quickly fall to the bottom during a rapid spin.
However, for PRF, the blood is spun more slowly and at a different angle, allowing the platelets and white blood cells to remain near the top of the vial. This results in a higher concentration of these beneficial components compared to PRP, which is why PRF delivers more growth factors.
Treatment Process
PRF injections require less blood and take less time than PRP injections, a major perk for our clients who aren’t fans of blood draws.
Final Composition
PRP is a natural option, but safe additives thin the blood. PRF contains no additives, and for some clients, this makes a big difference in their treatment decisions.
PRF takes longer to spread from the injection site than PRP. Those who love instant results definitely love PRP, but PRF may be the way to go for those who love longer-lasting results. Your TAE provider can give you the best advice on whether there will be a noticeable difference in treatment duration and which treatment is best for your goals.
DermaFiller Treatments
Another all-natural treatment The Aesthetic Edit loves offering our clients is DermaFiller by Cellenis — the only 100% all-natural injectable. Unlike other injectables, DermaFiller uses a mix of PRP(platelet-rich plasma) and proteins found in the plasma. This ensures short-term and long-term benefit. Our clients experience immediate volumizing effects while their bodies work to stimulate the production of new collagen, elastin, and fibrin for skin with more lift, elasticity, and tone in the long run.
Benefits of Choosing DermaFiller Treatments
DermaFiller treatments are a fantastic alternative for those who want a more natural alternative to dermal fillers or who enjoy PRP treatments but want the results to last longer in specific areas. DermaFiller treatment provides subtle, natural enhancement, has an incredibly small chance of rejection since you’re receiving materials from your own body, and uses cutting-edge technology to ensure lasting improvement.

The cost of PRP treatment, PRF treatment, and DermaFiller treatment varies from patient to patient.
