Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a medical treatment derived from a person’s own blood. It is a concentrated form of plasma that contains a high concentration of platelets, which are blood cells involved in clotting and healing processes.

To create PRP, a small amount of blood is drawn from the individual and then processed in a centrifuge machine. The machine spins the blood at a high speed, separating it into different components based on density. The platelet-rich portion of the blood is isolated and collected, resulting in PRP.

PRP is rich in growth factors and proteins that play a crucial role in tissue repair and regeneration. When PRP is injected or applied to a specific area of the body, it can potentially enhance the healing process and stimulate tissue growth.

What are the Benefits of PRP

Tissue Repair and Regeneration: PRP contains a high concentration of growth factors, proteins, and other bioactive substances involved in the body’s natural healing processes. When applied or injected into injured tissues, PRP may promote tissue repair and regeneration, potentially accelerating the healing process.

Improved Hair Growth: PRP has been used as a treatment for hair loss or thinning. When applied to the scalp or injected into the affected area, PRP may stimulate hair follicles, promote hair growth, and improve hair density.

Enhanced Skin Rejuvenation: PRP therapy has been used for skin rejuvenation purposes. When combined with procedures such as microneedling or applied topically, PRP may help improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance.

Since PRP is derived from the patient’s own blood, there’s a low risk of adverse reactions or complications.
