Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF)
What is Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF)?
PRF is a concentration of growth factors and cells collected from your own blood. It is a natural regenerative strategy that uses a standard blood draw, then is spun at high speeds in a Bio-PRF machine to create concentrated and natural growth factors.
Since no additives are used, it forms a ‘super’ blood clot with significantly elevated concentrations of regenerative cells and growth factors capable of stimulating wound healing.
The PRF method accumulates up to 6-8 times more platelets and leukocytes when compared to whole blood. These cells then release more growth factors and fight potential incoming infections, thereby reducing post-operative pain. The new Bio-PRF technology has been scientifically shown to be a highly effective medical procedure to induce tissue regeneration, instead of using artificial components such as animal, human, or laboratory-derived products.
