Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF): Extended Healing Power
PRF therapy builds on the principles of PRP, but takes regeneration to the next level. By using a slower centrifugation process and avoiding anticoagulants, PRF retains a fibrin matrix—a natural scaffold that gradually releases platelets, growth factors, and proteins over time. This sustained release prolongs the healing process, fostering deeper and longer-lasting regeneration. PRF is particularly effective for enhancing soft tissue healing and stimulating collagen production, making it an ideal option for advanced tissue repair and rejuvenation.
Why Choose PRP and PRF?
Both therapies are minimally invasive, safe, and use your own blood, reducing the risk of adverse reactions. Together, PRP and PRF offer a versatile, powerful approach to accelerate recovery, enhance tissue regeneration, and restore optimal function—whether you're dealing with an injury, chronic pain, or seeking cosmetic rejuvenation.
Empower your body to heal itself naturally with PRP and PRF therapy at Nuvo Medical Associates—innovative solutions designed to help you feel and perform your best.
At Nuvo Medical Associates, we offer Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) therapies—cutting-edge regenerative treatments derived from your own blood. These state-of-the-art therapies are designed to harness your body’s natural healing power, significantly enhancing tissue repair, promoting regeneration, and restoring overall tissue health.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): Accelerating Healing
PRP therapy begins with a small blood sample, which is processed using advanced centrifugation to isolate and concentrate platelets in the plasma. This results in a PRP sample containing up to five times the platelets found in normal blood. Beyond their critical role in clotting, platelets are rich in growth factors and proteins that stimulate cellular repair, regeneration, and tissue healing. Delivered directly to the site of injury or damage, PRP amplifies your body’s natural ability to heal, reducing recovery time and enhancing outcomes.

Why Choose Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections?
PRP injections are designed to stimulate and accelerate the body’s natural healing process, targeting tissues damaged by acute injuries or chronic degeneration. By delivering a concentrated dose of platelets directly to the injury site, PRP releases powerful bioactive proteins and growth factors that drive tissue repair and regeneration. Research shows that PRP therapy can promote cartilage restoration, reduce inflammation, and enhance the healing of muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
One of PRP’s unique benefits is its ability to improve blood flow to damaged tissues. This increased circulation delivers essential nutrients that support tissue strength, functionality, and vitality restoration. PRP therapy is versatile, offering accelerated healing for a wide range of conditions and areas across the body where enhanced recovery is desired.
Unlike conventional pain management approaches, such as steroid injections or NSAIDs, PRP therapy offers a natural, low-risk alternative with minimal side effects. Most patients experience only mild soreness or bruising at the injection site, which resolves quickly. With little to no downtime, you can typically return to your daily activities on the same day, making PRP a convenient and effective choice for those seeking safe, long-lasting healing.
Understanding the Difference Between PRP and PRF
Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP)
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an advanced regenerative therapy that uses concentrated platelets from the patient's own blood to promote healing and tissue regeneration. By harnessing the body's natural growth factors, PRP accelerates the repair of injured tissues, reduces inflammation, and rejuvenates cells. Widely used in orthopedic medicine, aesthetics, and dentistry, PRP effectively treats conditions such as tendonitis, ligament sprains, osteoarthritis, and skin rejuvenation. This non-invasive treatment offers minimal risk and impressive results, making it a popular choice for enhancing recovery and improving overall health.
Platelet Rich Fibrin Therapy (PRF)
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is an advanced regenerative therapy that utilizes a fibrin matrix enriched with platelets, white blood cells, and stem cells from the patient's own blood. PRF promotes sustained healing and tissue regeneration by gradually releasing growth factors and cytokines. This cutting-edge treatment is effective in various medical fields, including orthopedics, aesthetics, and dentistry, addressing issues such as joint and tendon injuries, skin rejuvenation, and periodontal regeneration. PRF offers a non-invasive, natural solution for enhancing recovery and achieving superior health outcomes with minimal risk.
Safety Concerns
PRP is an exceptionally safe treatment. It utilizes your blood (autologous), which your body naturally accepts without any side effects. Remarkably, there has never been a reported complication from PRP in medical and surgical literature history. While the benefits of PRP take about three weeks to become noticeable, optimal results are typically seen between 8 to 12 weeks and can last for approximately one year. The effectiveness of PRP varies depending on the specific treatment and individual factors, but the results are consistently impressive.
Please be aware that not all PRP is created equally. Nuvo Medical Associates utilizes a state-of-the-art FDA-approved centrifuge and employs a triple-spin process to produce the highest quality PRP. Our multi-spin centrifuge achieves the necessary 5X platelet concentration required for the most effective injection procedures. Additionally, our triple-spin process yields exceptionally clean PRP with a very low red blood cell count, minimizing pain and bruising. For the topical application of PRP, such as for the Vampire Facial, we use a single-spin process to achieve a 2X concentration. This ensures the utmost safety and success of our treatments.
