What is it?
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is plasma rich in growth factors, obtained from your own blood. CGF is a denser fibrin structure separated from the blood using a different method. Because both are prepared from your own blood, the risk of allergy is low.
How is it done?
- A small amount of blood is drawn from the arm.
- The blood is spun in a special centrifuge to separate the plasma.
- The plasma is applied to the treatment area with fine needles.
Treatment areas
