April 2022 in “The Egyptian Journal of Hospital Medicine” Platelet Rich Fibrin improves healing and reduces acne scars by slowly releasing growth factors.
March 2026 in “Trends in Sciences” Platelet concentrates like PRP, PRF, and CGF are key in regenerative medicine due to their growth factor content and ease of preparation. This review compares these concentrates, highlighting differences in preparation, content, and clinical applications. PRP, the first-generation product, requires anticoagulants, while PRF and CGF offer slow growth factor release without additives, with CGF having a denser fibrin matrix. Although PRP is widely used, PRF and CGF are gaining popularity for their simplicity and lack of additives. However, the lack of standardization and comparative clinical studies makes optimizing treatment challenging. Understanding their biological profiles is crucial for patient-specific therapies and developing evidence-based guidelines.
