FREQUENTLY ASKED
How is PRF different from PRP?
PRF and PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) are similar in that they both utilize the patient's blood components for treatment. However, PRF is a more advanced form of platelet concentrate. While PRP separates the platelets from the blood plasma, PRF additionally incorporates fibrin, white blood cells, and stem cells, which are believed to enhance the healing and regenerative effects.
How is PRF obtained?
PRF is obtained through a simple blood draw from the patient, similar to a standard blood test. The blood is then processed to separate the platelets and other beneficial components using centrifugation. The resulting PRF concentrate is then used for treatment.
How does PRF work?
PRF contains a concentrated amount of platelets and growth factors. When applied or injected into the target area, these growth factors stimulate cell proliferation, collagen production, and tissue regeneration. The increased growth factors and healing properties in PRF aid in the natural healing and rejuvenation processes of the body.
Is PRF safe?
PRF is considered safe because it utilizes the patient's own blood components, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or infections. However, as with any medical procedure, there can be risks and potential side effects.
How many PRF treatments are needed?
The number of PRF treatments required varies depending on the specific condition being treated and the individual response to the treatment. In some cases, a single treatment may be sufficient, while other conditions may require a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart.
What is the downtime after PRF treatment?
The downtime after PRF treatment is typically minimal. Most people can resume their regular activities immediately after the procedure. Some temporary redness, swelling, or bruising may occur at the injection sites, but these effects are usually mild and subside within a few days.
How long do the results of PRF last?
The duration of PRF results can vary depending on the specific treatment and individual factors. In general, PRF stimulates the body's natural healing processes, and the effects can last several months to over a year. To maintain the results, follow-up treatments may be recommended.
