A Natural Healing Solution
L-PRF, or Leukocyte Platelet-Rich Fibrin, is a platelet therapy derived from a patient’s own blood, used to promote healing and bone growth after oral and maxillofacial surgeries, including dental implants and bone grafting.
How L-PRF Works
L-PRF is an innovative platelet therapy derived from your own blood. Unlike traditional treatments that incorporate synthetic components, L-PRF is 100% natural. With a simple blood draw and a specialized centrifuge process, we create a bioactive fibrin matrix that enhances healing.
Once placed at the surgical site, L-PRF releases essential healing proteins and growth factors, forming a natural scaffold that accelerates tissue and bone regeneration. In some cases, we may supplement L-PRF with biomaterials tailored to your specific needs for even greater healing benefits.
Harness Your Body’s Natural Healing Power
Your body is already equipped with an incredible ability to heal itself. When you get a small scrape, your blood naturally clots, forming a protective layer that aids in tissue regeneration. L-PRF enhances this natural process by concentrating platelets, leukocytes (white blood cells), and fibrin into a powerful healing membrane.
- Virtually Painless Procedure – The process of obtaining L-PRF is as simple and painless as a routine blood test.
- No Chemicals or Additives – L-PRF is completely natural, containing only your own biological materials.
- FDA-Cleared – The IntraSpin® System ensures safe and effective preparation of L-PRF membranes.
The Benefits of L-PRF Platelet Therapy
- Faster Recovery – Promotes a more efficient healing process by releasing natural growth factors over an extended period.
- Lower Risk of Complications – Since it’s derived from your own blood, there’s virtually no risk of rejection or allergic reactions.
- Completely Natural – No synthetic additives, chemicals, or animal-derived ingredients.
- Versatile Applications – Used for a wide range of dental and oral surgery procedures, including tooth extractions, implant placements, and bone grafting.
How L-PRF Membranes Are Created
L-PRF membranes are obtained through a simple, three-step process:
- Blood Collection – A small blood sample is drawn from your arm.
- Centrifugation – The sample is placed in a special centrifuge that separates and concentrates platelets, white blood cells, and fibrin.
- Membrane Formation – The L-PRF clot is removed and compressed into a thin membrane that is placed at the surgical site to enhance healing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is L-PRF?
L-PRF stands for Leukocyte-Platelet Rich Fibrin, a natural healing biomaterial derived from your own blood to promote tissue regeneration.
Is L-PRF Painful?
No, the procedure is as painless as a routine blood draw.
How Does L-PRF Work?
L-PRF contains a high concentration of platelets and white blood cells, which release growth factors over a period of up to 14 days, directing and enhancing the body’s natural healing process.
Are There Any Risks?
Because L-PRF is made from your own blood with no additives, there is no risk of rejection, disease transmission, or allergic reaction.
What Dental Procedures Benefit from L-PRF?
L-PRF is commonly used in tooth extractions, dental implant placements, bone grafting, and other oral surgery procedures to speed up healing and tissue regeneration.
