Why choose IPRF? (INJECTABLE PLATELET RICH FIBRIN)
iPRF harnesses one of the most powerful regenerative components of your own blood with a simple injection into the treatment area. It is a fantastic treatment for many areas of the body such as the face for anti-ageing, the scalp for hair thinning/loss or intimate areas for laxity, incontinence and other symptoms.
iPRF (Injectable Platelet Rich Fibrin) is the next generation in anti-ageing and surpasses the better known Platelet Rich Plasma, by a huge distance and has 100 times the circulating stem cells (CD34+) of the whole blood and 10-20 times that of bone marrow.
Injectable platelet rich fibrin or (iPRF) uses the patient’s own blood plasma which is enriched with:
platelets (source of healing proteins and growth factors)
fibrin (the wound healing and regeneration matrix)
stem cells (the conductors of our body’s own healing and regenerative orchestra of healing and regeneration molecules).
Patented technology invented by Dr. Joseph Choukroun in 2016, allows us to isolate various fractions from whole blood taken from the patient. This can then be injected via a very fine needle (technique used in mesotherapy) into the area(s) of concern, to activate healing and regeneration. Although this is from the patient’s own body, no area would naturally get exposure to such a potent concentration of biostimulating and regenerative cells. However, the process that is triggered is totally innate and natural.
iPRF intensifies the functioning and reproduction of cells, thus having a gentle, gradual yet long lasting and accumulative effect. As a result, new fibroblasts, collagen and elastin tissues are formed, skin elasticity and complexion is improved, and the pigmentation is reduced. Its uses are not limited to skin rejuvenation.
