What Are PRP and PRF?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is prepared by processing a blood sample to concentrate platelets within plasma.

PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is prepared using a different processing method that creates a fibrin-based matrix containing platelets and other blood components.

Both approaches use the patient's own blood, but preparation methods and clinical applications differ.
