What this site is for

It exists to separate what is established about platelet-rich fibrin from what is claimed, and to grade each honestly rather than dismissing a point-of-care preparation or endorsing it. That is why every claim is placed in one of four groups, why the variability of the preparation is treated as a central fact rather than a footnote, and why reabsorption is stated plainly.

What it deliberately does not do

It does not recommend for or against a treatment, and it does not invite a reader toward an assessment or a consultation. It is not a booking page and it offers no service in relation to anything it describes. It names no kit, tube, device or manufacturer, quotes no prices, and does not present a point-of-care preparation as equivalent to a defined product.

The facts kept visible

Three facts are repeated wherever they are relevant. The preparation is made in the room and is not standardised between clinics, so two treatments with the same name are not the same material. The material is reabsorbed, so a lasting change in volume is not what it provides. And being autologous removes some specific risks without removing risk in general.

How the content is reviewed and corrected

Ke He, MD, Deputy Director and Head of Skin & Laser Aesthetics, is the responsible physician. This subject moves on a faster clock than most, because kits and protocols change more often than the evidence about them is renewed, so the review is dated and revisited on a short cycle. If you find something unclear, out of date or wrong, the contact page explains how to tell us, and the correction is made to the page itself.
