What is PRF?

PRF is created from a small blood sample via a gentle spin (no anticoagulants), concentrating platelets and growth factors within a fibrin matrix. Applied locally with sterile technique, it is biocompatible and tailored to the region of concern.

Research on PRF/PRP in Lichen Sclerosus

Early clinical studies and case reports suggest autologous platelet concentrates can support vulvar tissue quality and comfort in lichen sclerosus:

  • Improvements in itching, pain, and dryness scores after PRF/PRP
  • Observed increases in elasticity and hydration on exam
  • Histology showing improved collagen organization and epithelial thickness
  • Signals for reduced inflammatory markers and healthier skin texture

Larger controlled trials are needed; current use is adjunctive and individualized.

Safety & Screening

Suitability is confirmed during your consultation. PRF is not performed with active infection, uncontrolled bleeding disorders, or during pregnancy in the treatment area. Please share all medications, supplements, and recent procedures.

What to Expect

After intake and preparation, a small blood draw is processed to create PRF. The PRF is applied to the area of focus using sterile technique. Most visits take 45–60 minutes. Mild tenderness or swelling can occur for 24–72 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is PRF the same as PRP?

No. PRF is prepared without anticoagulants and forms a fibrin matrix, which may allow a slower, more gradual release compared with PRP.

Can I continue my existing lichen sclerosus treatments?

Often, yes. PRF is considered an adjunctive option and can be incorporated with ongoing care plans after clinical review.

Who can receive PRF?

New and existing patients are welcome. Suitability is determined after reviewing your health history and goals.
