PRF Background

Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a second generation platelet concentrate to be utilized as a scaffold containing completely natural growth factors. It follows the logical concept that by improving tissue vascularization to defects, one simultaneously improves tissue regeneration.

Cost-effective and natural ways to regenerate tissues

• Save money for your practice and begin using natural PRF in everyday practice as predictable barrier membranes, plugs for extraction sockets, and gingival grafts in periodontology

• Accelerates wound healing

• Improves bone graft stability

• Experience extensive hands-on practice performing phlebotomy techniques

​

• Learn an inexpensive, scientifically proven method to enhance patients’ hard and soft tissue healing through the use of a simple centrifuge

​

• Predictable soft tissue regeneration

Owing to the increasing demand for facial esthetic procedures throughout the country, new this year, Dr. Richard Miron and Dr. Michael Kanter invite participants looking to gain access into the realities of their private practice dedicated solely to facial esthetics in Sarasota, Florida.

​

This course, reserved to 6 doctors only, will be an ideal learning experience for those that want advanced training in facial esthetics and learn step-by-step protocols utilized by experts in the field. Participants will be taught how to manipulate platelet rich fibrin (PRF) for various facial indications. The course will cover in detail injection techniques, micro-needling and the latest advancements with respect to Bio-Heat protocols. These advancements extend the working properties of PRF from 2-3 weeks to 4-6 months utilized as a natural Bio-Filler to fill larger facial voids.
