PRP and PRF
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a concentrated plasma derived from the patient’s blood, containing platelets and growth factors. It stimulates natural healing and collagen production. PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is an advanced form of PRP, with a slower centrifuge process that preserves more growth factors, white blood cells, and fibrin.
