How Bio-PRF Is Changing Facial Repair

The downside to the we call BioPRF or PRF filler is that it doesn't last that long, probably in the order of three or four months, but you have the advantage of using your own tissue. However, you can do this repeatedly and because of this different growth factors, you get some long term results after you do it a few times. Let's say we're doing the under eyes or the lips or mid face. You might be doing that like three or four times over a year, year and a half, and then you get some permanence to it. We've gone from fat transfer to nano fat or stem cell transfer to platelet rich fibrin and platelet poor plasma filler. This is the transition. We're using more of the plat products because they're easy to make, doesn't involve any liposuction, more predictable, and has similar growth factors.
