LED (Light Emitting Diode) therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate the skin at a cellular level.

Harnessing the Power of Platelet-Rich Fibrin: A Breakthrough in Regenerative Medicine
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a natural substance derived from the patient's blood, making it safe and biocompatible. It is rich in platelets, growth factors, and other bioactive proteins that play a crucial role in the body's healing process. Unlike traditional platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments, which involve centrifuging blood to extract platelets and plasma, PRF is produced using a simpler, centrifuge-based process that preserves the fibrin matrix and enhances its regenerative properties.
