PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)

PRF stands for "Platelet-Rich Fibrin" — fibrin rich in platelets. It is an autologous procedure in which we work exclusively with the patient's own blood. Following a blood draw, the blood is processed in the practice without any additives (centrifuged). The result is a fibrin scaffold rich in platelets (thrombocytes), white blood cells, and growth factors. In contrast to PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), PRF forms a gel-like, three-dimensional matrix. This fibrin structure acts as a biological depot: growth factors are not released immediately, but are delivered slowly over several days. In this way, we achieve a more sustained stimulation of fibroblasts, collagen formation, and tissue regeneration. In aesthetic medicine, PRF is used, amongst other indications, to improve skin quality, for fine lines, in the periorbital area, and for hair loss. It can also be used in combination with autologous fat. As no synthetic additives are used, tolerability is generally very high. Nevertheless, the effect depends on individual factors such as circulation, metabolism, and the baseline condition of the tissue.
