Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) works by harnessing the regenerative properties of platelets found in our blood. The process involves drawing a small amount of the patient's blood and then using a centrifuge to separate the platelets from other blood components. The resulting concentrated plasma, rich in platelets and their growth factors, is then injected back into the targeted area.
What does Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) do?
Once injected, the platelets in PRP release growth factors and other bioactive proteins, which initiate and accelerate the body's natural healing response. These growth factors stimulate cell proliferation, promote tissue regeneration, and facilitate the repair of damaged tissues.
Overall, PRP harnesses the body's own healing capabilities by delivering concentrated platelets and growth factors directly to the site of injury or concern. This approach supports and enhances the natural healing process, leading to faster recovery, improved tissue regeneration, and potentially reduced pain and inflammation.
