PRF Treatment in Wellingborough
An autologous treatment using a component of your own blood as part of a personalised approach to skin rejuvenation and skin quality.
PRF stands for Platelet-Rich Fibrin. It is an autologous treatment that uses a component derived from your own blood.
At MP Beauty & Laser, PRF treatment is personalised according to your skin, treatment area, concerns and individual goals. Following a consultation and suitability assessment, PRF may be considered as part of a skin rejuvenation plan and, in selected cases, for certain hair thinning concerns.

Certain Types of Hair Thinning
PRF may also be considered for certain types of hair thinning or hair loss. Suitability depends on the cause and your individual circumstances.
What Is PRF?
PRF stands for Platelet-Rich Fibrin.
It is an autologous treatment prepared from a small sample of your own blood.
The blood sample is processed using a specific preparation technique to produce a fibrin-rich matrix containing platelets and other components derived from your own blood.
The prepared PRF is then used as part of the selected treatment protocol.
Because PRF is derived from your own blood, it is considered an autologous treatment.
PRF vs PRP
PRF and PRP are both autologous treatments, but they are prepared differently and have different characteristics.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) uses a platelet-rich plasma component prepared from your blood.
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) creates a fibrin-rich matrix as part of its preparation process.
The most appropriate option depends on your treatment area, concerns, goals and individual suitability.
During your consultation, we can discuss which approach may be more appropriate for you.
How Does PRF Work?
A small sample of your own blood is collected and processed using the appropriate PRF preparation technique.
The resulting fibrin-rich material is then used according to the selected treatment protocol.
The treatment approach, technique and treatment area depend on your individual needs.
PRF is not suitable for everyone, and individual responses and results vary.
