Platelet-rich Fibrin at Skin Medical

PRF is a natural healing solution made from a patient’s own blood, rich in platelets, fibrin, and growth factors, used to accelerate healing in dental and medical treatments.

Unlike PRP, PRF contains a fibrin matrix that allows for a slower release of growth factors, promoting longer-lasting healing effects without the use of additives or anticoagulants.

PRF is commonly used in dental implants, bone grafting, tooth extractions, and soft tissue healing. It is also used in facial rejuvenation and skin treatments.

Yes, PRF is very safe as it is made from the patient’s own blood, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or infections.

The PRF process typically takes about 15 minutes. A small blood sample is drawn, processed in a centrifuge, and then applied to the treatment area during the procedure.

PRF releases growth factors that promote cell regeneration, reduce inflammation, and enhance tissue repair, leading to faster recovery and improved outcomes.

Since PRF is derived from your own blood, side effects are minimal. Some mild swelling or discomfort at the application site may occur, but it typically subsides quickly.

Most patients undergoing dental or soft tissue procedures can benefit from PRF. However, those with blood disorders or certain medical conditions may need to consult with their healthcare provider.

PRF treatment is typically painless. Patients may experience minor discomfort from the blood draw, but the procedure itself is generally well-tolerated.

Healing and tissue regeneration begin almost immediately, with most patients noticing reduced swelling and faster recovery within a few days after the procedure.
