Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatments harness your body’s natural healing capacity. Using your own blood, these treatments concentrate platelets and growth factors that stimulate collagen, elastin, and tissue regeneration—naturally rejuvenating your face and neck without synthetic materials.
PRF/PRP therapy goes beyond simple volume enhancement. With advanced techniques, growth factors are extracted and infused into a semi-solid PRF matrix, forming a bioactive gel. This matrix not only provides subtle volume but also delivers a **sustained release** of powerful healing factors directly into your tissue—something no artificial filler can do.
Unlike synthetic fillers that introduce foreign substances into your body, PRF/PRP is 100% autologous. That means **zero risk of allergic reactions, granulomas, or delayed immune responses**. Your body recognizes and utilizes PRF/PRP as its own, ensuring a smoother, safer experience.
Artificial fillers, especially when injected incorrectly, can lead to **vascular occlusion**, **tissue necrosis**, or even **blindness** in rare but serious cases. Overfilling, underfilling, product migration, and the need for reversal agents like hyaluronidase add to the risks and costs. PRF/PRP, by contrast, carries a significantly lower risk of complications because it's derived from your own biology.
PRF/PRP does more than fill—it **heals and rebuilds** from within. As growth factors stimulate natural collagen and tissue regeneration, results continue to improve over weeks and months, offering a gradual, long-term improvement in skin texture, tone, and elasticity. No more frequent maintenance injections required every few months like with HA fillers.
The under-eye area is particularly prone to complications from synthetic fillers, such as puffiness or Tyndall effect (a bluish tint). PRF/PRP is gentle and bioactive, making it perfect for **natural correction of tear troughs, dark circles, and hollowness** without risking unnatural side effects.
Artificial fillers offer a temporary mask. PRF/PRP offers real **cellular regeneration**—enhancing not just how your skin looks, but how it functions. By infusing growth factors directly into aging tissue, you rebuild your skin’s foundation and improve its health, resilience, and beauty over time.
With PRF/PRP, results are gradual, natural, and personalized. There’s no ‘overfilled’ look, no foreign material—just **your body restoring itself** with visible improvements in firmness, hydration, tone, and youthful glow.

Platelet Rich Plasma allows your body to use its normal healing pathways to help you heal at an increased rate. While this procedure used to require a large amount of blood to be drawn, advances in technology now allow a useable number of platelets to be collected from a relatively small blood draw.
When your body is healing from an injury or surgery, many cells are sent to the healing site to expedite healing. One of the types of cells sent to aid in healing is platelets. These platelets help your body to form a blood clot and release growth factors that stimulate the regeneration of new tissue. By utilizing Platelet Rich Plasma, Dr. El Deeb can obtain the platelets your body needs to speed up the healing process after oral surgery.
Platelets from Platelet Rich Plasma can be used in a number of cases at our office:
If you are undergoing surgery in our office, ask Dr. El Deeb about Platelet Rich Plasma during your consultation.
A patient’s own blood is used to promote healing and regeneration but PRF is considered an enhanced version of PRP because it retains more white blood cells, stem cells and a fibrin matrix which contributes to a more sustained and potent healing effect. PRF is considered a better option than PRP especially for its long-term benefits and regenerative properties. PRF’s slower, more natural processing allows for a higher concentration of platelets, white blood cells and a fibrin matrix leading to a more sustained release of growth factors and enhanced tissue regeneration.
PRP injections are often used to improve the texture and tone of the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. PRF injections are typically used to improve the overall health and appearance of the skin and stimulate the production of collagen.
