Autologous blood therapy (PRF) in 1060 Vienna
Modern dentistry offers innovative methods to accelerate healing after oral surgery and to optimize the treatment outcome. One of these methods is autologous blood therapy with PRF (platelet-rich fibrin). In our oral surgery practice in 1060 Vienna, Dr. Dr. Felix Wick uses this effective technique to support natural healing processes.
Fields of application of autologous blood therapy in dentistry
The PRF technique is used in various areas of dental and oral surgery treatment, in particular for:
- Dental implants: Improved healing thanks to the prevention of local inflammation.
- Bone augmentation: Support for the regeneration of the jawbone.
- Periodontal treatment: Faster healing of the gums.
- Soft tissue reconstruction: Improved regeneration after surgical procedures.
- Wound healing disorders: Accelerated healing of long-lasting wounds.
Advantages of PRF therapy in dentistry
- Natural healing: Use of the body's own substances.
- Faster regeneration: Shorter healing times and less discomfort.
- Optimized results: Higher chances of success for implants and surgical procedures.
- Safe and well tolerated: No risk from foreign materials.
What is PRF platelet-rich fibrin (PRF)?
PRF is a biomedical procedure in which the patient's autologous blood is processed to obtain healing-promoting substances. PRF contains:
- Blood platelets (thrombocytes): Promote wound healing and regeneration.
- Growth factors: support the formation of new tissue.
- Fibrin matrix: serves as a biological scaffold for healing.
Good to know: By using the body's own material, the risk of rejection or allergic reactions is completely eliminated.
Autologous blood therapy and vampire lifting – aesthetic applications of PRF
In addition to its use in dentistry, autohaemotherapy is also increasingly used in aesthetic medicine, especially in so-called vampire lifting. PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) is used to stimulate skin regeneration and visibly improve the complexion. Growth factors from autohaemotherapy promote collagen production and blood flow in the skin, which can reduce wrinkles and improve skin elasticity. The method is particularly popular because it is completely natural and does not involve the use of foreign substances – perfect for patients who prefer biological and minimally invasive solutions.
I would offer it in theory, but it has never been an issue. Unfortunately, it does not last very long either.
How does autologous blood therapy work at our Vienna practice?
Autologous blood therapy with PRF is a safe and quick process:
- Blood collection: A small amount of blood is taken from the arm vein.
- Processing: The blood is processed in a special centrifuge to obtain the PRF components.
- Application: The PRF material is applied directly to the surgical area.
The treatment is minimally invasive and completely biocompatible.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) about autologous blood therapy (PRF) in dentistry
How much does autologous blood therapy (PRF) cost in Vienna?
The cost of PRF therapy depends on the extent of the treatment. They will be discussed individually with Dr. Dr. Felix Wick and are a worthwhile investment in faster healing and improved results.
What is PRF (platelet-rich fibrin)?
PRF is a form of autohaemotherapy in which healing-promoting components such as platelets and growth factors are obtained from the patient's blood. These are used in dentistry to accelerate healing processes after procedures.
Is autohaemotherapy safe?
Yes, PRF is very safe. Since only the patient's own blood is used, there is no risk of rejection, allergies or infections from foreign materials.
What are the advantages of PRF therapy?
The most important advantages are:
- Faster healing and regeneration.
- Use of purely biological, autologous materials.
- Less discomfort after treatment.
- Improved long-term results, e.g. for implants.
Is autologous blood therapy painful?
PRF therapy is minimally invasive and almost painless. Only the blood collection from the arm vein and the introduction of the PRF material are associated with slight, short-term sensations.
Who can benefit from PRF?
Autologous blood therapy is suitable for almost all patients, especially for individuals who:
- Wish to heal faster after surgery.
- Are planning implants or bone augmentation.
- Prefer biological and natural methods.
Are there risks or side effects?
Since PRF uses only the body's own substances, side effects are extremely rare. In very rare cases, a small bruise may occur at the extraction site.
How long does PRF treatment take?
It takes only a few minutes to prepare the PRF. The entire process (including blood collection and application) is usually integrated into the treatment session.
