PRF vs. PRP
PRF and PRP are both platelet concentrates from your own blood — the difference is preparation and release. PRP spins fast with anticoagulant for a liquid, instant-release concentrate; PRF spins slow without additives, forming a fibrin gel that releases growth factors over days. Dr. Luca Lioce, NMD at Vita Sana Medical Center in Scottsdale uses PRP for joints, scalp, and microneedling — and PRF for under-eyes, facial volume, and delicate regeneration.

- Spin — PRP: fast, with anticoagulant · PRF: slow, additive-free

Why clinics that offer both get better results
A one-product clinic bends every problem toward its product. Offering both lets the biology match the anatomy: burst delivery where tissue needs a strong signal, scaffold delivery where structure and slow release matter. Many Vita Sana treatment plans use both in the same program — PRP on the scalp, PRF under the eyes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which lasts longer, PRF or PRP?
PRF's slow release extends its regenerative window per session; both build results over a short series and are maintained periodically.

Comparable — both use fine needles with numbing; PRF under-eye work is well tolerated.
