What to expect at a PRP/PRF appointment?
- A small amount of bloodwill becollected, like a lab test.
- The sample is then taken and placed in a centrifuge which spins the blood at a super high speed, causing the platelets to separate from other components of the blood.
- Once the platelets are concentrated into the plasma, they can be applied to the treatment area. Activation causesa timed-release ofplatelets and essential growth factors which signals proteins that are responsible for the healing process and activation of collagen-elastin cascade.
