PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) are distinct regenerative treatments with different applications: PRP is used for hair restoration through subdermal injection to stimulate hair follicle growth, while PRF (a PRP matrix) is used for under-eye rejuvenation and facial biostimulation because its fibrin structure allows slower release of growth factors and cytokines, providing sustained biostimulatory effects.

PRP vs PRF: Dr. Rapaport Explains the Difference for Hair & Under-Eye Rejuvenation
Added:Not all PRP's are created equal.
We use different types of PRP for different indications.
For the hair, we will use a straight standard PRP. Looking for biostimulation in the cheeks or underneath the eyes, we'll use a PRFM, which is a matrix of PRP and it tends to allow the PRP growth factors and cytokines to release slower acting as a biostimulatory process.
The PRP that we use for the hair, we inject subdermally. That's an injection technique I developed and allow it to percolate up to the base of the hair follicle at the bulb and to the stem cells.
So, not all PRP's created equal. Use your PRFM for biostimulation and for under the eyes for dark circles. Use your PRP for hair and other things on the face topically.
Take care.
