Uses of LPRF in plastic surgery

LPRF (leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin) membranes offer a number of significant features and advantages for wound therapy.
These include:

  1. Powerful anti-inflammatory: Reduces inflammation, promoting faster recovery.
  2. Powerful antibacterial activity: Acts against bacteria, helping to prevent infections.
  3. Cellular scaffold: Provides a structure for regenerative cells to adhere and proliferate.
  4. Powerful angiogenic activity: Stimulates the formation of new blood vessels, improving circulation in the treated area.
  5. Wound protection: Creates a protective barrier that facilitates the healing process.
  6. Active cell recruitment: Attracts key cells for tissue regeneration and repair.
  7. Analgesic properties: Relieves pain associated with wounds.
  8. Adaptability to the shape of the wound: It adjusts to the specific morphology of each lesion.
  9. Immune regulator: Modulates the immune response, preventing adverse reactions.
  10. Protease inhibition: Avoids excessive tissue degradation, favoring healing.
  11. Cellular antioxidant effect: Protects cells from oxidative stress, maintaining their viability.
  12. Free of additives: It does not contain synthetic substances or preservatives.
  13. No known adverse effects: To date, no negative reactions have been reported.
  14. Prolonged release of growth factors: Provides a continuous stimulus for regeneration over a prolonged period.
  15. 100% autologous: Since it is completely derived from the patient’s own tissue, rejection or allergy risks are eliminated.
  16. Rich in key proteins: such as fibronectin, thrombospondin and vitronectin, which promote cell adhesion, healing and tissue regeneration.

Thanks to these characteristics, LPRF stands out for:– Being a powerful stimulus for wound healing.– Being a painless procedure.– Maintaining the maximum vital tissue in the treated area.– Facilitating the formation of better quality scar tissue.In addition, LPRF is used in plastic surgery for:

 

  1. Facial rejuvenation: In facial aesthetic procedures, it improves skin quality, promotes collagen production and improves elasticity.
    It can be injected or combined with fat grafting for natural and long lasting results.

 

  1. Wound healing: Accelerates healing and reduces scarring, promoting tissue regeneration and the body’s natural healing processes.
    It is applied in surgical wounds and in the treatment of ulcers or chronic burns.

 

  1. Fat grafting: When combined with fat grafting, it improves graft survival, fat retention and tissue regeneration.
    It is especially useful in breast augmentation, facial contouring and correction of post-traumatic deformities.

 

  1. Rhinoplasty: Used to prevent or treat irregularities, improve healing and reduce scar tissue formation in nasal surgeries.
    It also helps maintain smooth contours in complex reconstructive procedures.

 

  1. Scar treatment: Improves the appearance of hypertrophic and keloid scars, smoothing and flattening them by improving collagen formation and tissue remodeling.

 

  1. Breast reconstruction: It is applied to improve regeneration and healing in breast reconstruction surgeries, especially after mastectomy or radiotherapy.

 

  1. Hair restoration: Stimulates hair follicle growth, improves graft survival and promotes healthier scalp conditions, which improves results in hair transplant procedures.
