Experience the Benefits of Plasma-Rich Therapy
At Oakland Family Dental, our Waterford, MI dentist, Dr. Amanda Sheehan offers Plasma-Rich Therapy (PRF), a modern treatment that uses your own blood to speed up healing and improve your skin. PRF works by concentrating the platelets and growth factors from your blood and then applying them to areas that need healing or rejuvenation. This natural approach performed by our MedSpa specialist, Dr. Carlos Ramirez, helps reduce recovery time and boosts your body’s ability to repair itself.
Whether you’re recovering from a dental procedure or looking to refresh your skin, PRF is a safe and effective option that can help you achieve great results with minimal downtime. To learn more about PRF, contact our Waterford dental office today by calling (248) 674-0384.
What is Plasma-Rich Therapy?
Plasma-Rich Therapy (PRF) is a regenerative treatment that uses components derived from your own blood to enhance healing and tissue regeneration. The procedure involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets and growth factors, and then reintroducing this plasma into targeted areas. The high concentration of platelets and growth factors accelerates tissue repair and regeneration.
Benefits of Plasma-Rich Therapy
Plasma-Rich Therapy (PRF) offers numerous benefits, including:
- Accelerated Healing: PRF promotes faster healing and recovery by stimulating your body’s natural repair processes.
- Reduced Inflammation: The therapy helps decrease inflammation, leading to less discomfort and faster post-procedure recovery.
- Improved Aesthetic Results: For cosmetic treatments, PRF enhances skin texture, reduces wrinkles, and promotes a youthful appearance.
- Natural and Safe: Since PRF uses your own blood, it minimizes the risk of allergic reactions and complications.
Plasma-Rich Therapy Procedure
- Blood Collection: A small sample of your blood is drawn.
- Processing: The blood is placed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets and growth factors.
- Application: The PRF is injected or applied to the targeted treatment area.
- Recovery: Post-procedure, you’ll experience minimal downtime and can return to your normal activities quickly.
