Our Approach
At Karui, PRP and PRF procedures are assessed in the context of the whole face and the patient’s broader skin health. Before any procedure is recommended, the clinic considers the nature of the patient’s concern, their skin condition, and whether PRP or PRF treatment is the most clinically appropriate approach for the individual.
In some cases a different treatment may be more appropriate. In some cases a combination approach may be discussed. In some cases no treatment may be indicated. The clinic’s standard is conservative recommendation and honest, unconditional advice and that standard applies equally to PRP and PRF procedures as to all other treatments at Karui.
