Eyes or hair

Introduction:

PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) Autologic Therapy represents a significant leap forward in regenerative medicine, offering a more potent solution for the challenging concerns of the eyes and scalp. Unlike traditional PRP, PRF is processed at a lower speed without any anti-clotting additives. This preserves a higher concentration of platelets, white blood cells, and stem cells within a natural fibrin matrix.

• For the Eyes: This matrix acts as a temporary, natural filler, adding subtle volume to tear troughs while slowly releasing growth factors to thicken thin skin and banish dark circles.
• For Hair: The fibrin mesh holds the growth factors at the hair root for longer, providing intense stimulation to follicles that have become sluggish or dormant.

Benefits:

For the Eyes:

• Natural Volumisation: The fibrin matrix provides immediate, subtle volume to hollow under-eye areas (tear troughs), reducing the tired, sunken look.
• Combats Dark Circles: By thickening the delicate dermis and improving microcirculation, PRF significantly reduces the transparency that causes dark shadows.
• Smooths Crepey Skin: The sustained release of growth factors triggers robust collagen production, tightening fine lines and improving skin elasticity.

For Hair Restoration:

• Intense Follicle Stimulation: The high concentration of white blood cells and stem cells provides a powerful “wake-up call” to dormant follicles.
• Sustained Release: The fibrin clot keeps the healing factors in the scalp for up to 7 days (compared to hours with PRP), leading to more effective regeneration.
• Increased Density: Promotes the growth of thicker, stronger hair shafts and slows down the rate of hair loss.

Procedure:

1. Bespoke Consultation: Your experience begins with a private, in-depth assessment. Our specialist will examine your under-eye area or scalp condition to ensure PRF is the ideal regenerative pathway for your specific goals.
2. Blood Collection: A small sample of blood is drawn from your arm in our sterile clinic environment. Because PRF uses no anti-clotting agents, this step is performed quickly and efficiently.
3. Advanced Preparation: The blood is spun in a specialised centrifuge at a low speed. This delicate process separates the “liquid gold” (PRF) while keeping the regenerative cells alive and active within the fibrin clot.
4. Expert Application: ○ Eyes: Using a blunt-tipped cannula or ultra-fine needle, the PRF is carefully placed deep under the skin to restore volume and rejuvenate the tissue safely.

○ Hair: The PRF is injected into the scalp at the precise depth of the hair follicles to maximise absorption and stimulation.

1. Completion: The procedure takes approximately 45-60 minutes. You will receive personalised aftercare advice to ensure optimal results.

Contraindications and Safety:

PRF is one of the safest treatments in aesthetic medicine because it is 100% autologous (derived from your own body) and completely free of chemical additives. However, it is not suitable for everyone. We do not recommend this treatment for clients who:

• Have active skin infections or inflammation in the treatment area.
• Suffer from blood disorders, including platelet dysfunction or critical thrombocytopenia.
• Have severe liver disease or cancer.
• Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Are heavy smokers, as smoking significantly reduces the quality of the blood and the effectiveness of the treatment.

Our clinic in Granard adheres to the highest medical standards, ensuring a sterile, comfortable, and reassuring environment for your procedure.

Results and Aftercare:

Regeneration with PRF is a biological process that unfolds over time.

• Eyes: You may see immediate fullness due to the fibrin volume and mild swelling.

This settles over a few days, with true skin rejuvenation and brightness appearing after 3-4 weeks.

• Hair: Initial results often include a reduction in hair shedding, with visible new growth and increased thickness typically observed after a course of 3-4 treatments.

To ensure an elegant recovery and lasting results:

• Do not use anti-inflammatory medication (like Ibuprofen) for 7 days before and after treatment, as the inflammatory response is essential for the PRF to work.
• Avoid touching the treated area for at least 4 hours to prevent infection.
• Refrain from strenuous exercise, saunas, and hot showers for 24-48 hours.
• Hydration is key: Drink plenty of water to support cellular regeneration.
• For hair treatments, avoid washing your hair or using styling products for 24 hours.
