Is it the same as PRP?
No. Both use your own blood, but they are prepared differently. PRF is obtained without anticoagulants, forming a fibrin matrix that allows a more gradual release of growth factors.
PRF, regeneration using what is yours
What if your own biology could be part of the treatment?
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a regenerative medicine approach that uses a small sample of your own blood to obtain a natural matrix rich in fibrin, platelets and other components involved in tissue repair processes.
After a small blood sample is taken, it is centrifuged without anticoagulants to produce PRF. The fibrin matrix acts as a structure that holds these biological components and allows a gradual release of growth factors, helping to create an environment favourable to tissue regeneration.
At The Journey MedSpa, PRF may be used in different areas, including skin, scalp and regenerative gynaecology, always after a medical assessment to determine whether it is suitable for your case.

Frequently asked questions
Does it work for hair loss?
PRF may be an option in certain types of hair loss, namely androgenetic alopecia, or be used as a complement to other hair treatments. The consultation identifies the cause of the hair loss and determines whether PRF is indicated for your case.
Can PRF also be used in Regenerative Gynaecology?
Yes. PRF may form part of intimate regenerative medicine protocols, helping to improve tissue quality and certain functional concerns such as vaginal dryness, discomfort during intercourse or vulvar laxity.
