What does PRP-PRF Mean?

PRP-PRF Therapy, also known as Platelet-Rich Plasma – Platelet-Rich Fibrin Therapy, is an advanced regenerative treatment. It utilizes the patient’s blood to promote healing. By separating platelets and fibrin, creating a concentrated solution. 

Then we inject this solution into the affected area. The platelets release growth factors that stimulate tissue regeneration.

This therapy accelerates the body’s natural healing process and aids tissue repair. 

PRP-PRF Therapy is effective for various conditions, including musculoskeletal injuries, osteoarthritis, and chronic wounds. 

The procedure takes minimal time to complete, and most patients experience minimal discomfort.

We recommend a series of treatments for optimal results. PRP-PRF Therapy is safe, minimally invasive, and has a low risk of side effects. 

It offers a non-surgical alternative for individuals seeking natural healing and improved function. 

White Pearl Medical Spa assess the patient’s suitability for the treatment based on their medical history and condition.
