At Clinic Copenhagen in Amager, we offer both PRP and PRF treatments — and we often get the question: what is actually the difference? Both treatments use your own blood, but the way the blood is processed — and therefore the effect — differs.
The treatment itself
Both PRP and PRF start the same way: we take a blood sample, centrifuge the blood and then use your own blood for the treatment. It is a natural method that uses the body's own growth factors to stimulate renewal and healing in the skin or scalp.
PRP — Platelet-Rich Plasma
With PRP, the blood is centrifuged faster, producing a liquid plasma with rapid release of growth factors. It is ideal if you want a fresh glow — for example, ahead of a weekend or a special event.
PRF — Platelet-Rich Fibrin
PRF is the newer and more advanced version. Here the blood is centrifuged more slowly and without additives — it is 100% natural. The process creates a fibrin structure that gradually releases growth factors over a longer period. PRF is particularly well suited for hair growth stimulation.
Which should you choose?
The choice depends on your goal. If you want a quick refresh and glow in your skin, PRP may be the right choice. If your focus is on hair loss or long-term skin renewal, we recommend PRF.
Frequently asked questions
Does it hurt?
The blood draw feels like a completely normal blood test. For the injection into the skin or scalp, we apply numbing cream beforehand.

What does it cost?
From 1,500 DKK per treatment — see full price list.
