Glossary Platelet-Rich Fibrin

natural biomaterial from blood, rich in growth factors

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a natural biomaterial derived from a patient's own blood, which is processed to concentrate platelets and fibrin. This substance is rich in growth factors and cytokines, which can promote healing and tissue regeneration, making it useful in medical and dental procedures, including treatments for hair loss and alopecia.
