PRP & PRF Treatments in Manhattan, NYC
Your Own Platelets. A Personalized Approach to Skin Rejuvenation.
PRP and PRF are platelet-based treatments prepared from a patient's own blood.
These treatments are used in selected aesthetic applications to support tissue-related responses and address individual skin concerns.
At GAON SKIN, treatment recommendations are based on your medical history, skin condition, and aesthetic goals.
What Are PRP and PRF?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is prepared by processing a blood sample to concentrate platelets within plasma.
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is prepared using a different processing method that creates a fibrin-based matrix containing platelets and other blood components.
Both approaches use the patient's own blood, but preparation methods and clinical applications differ.
