PRP

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a substance that is believed to promote healing when injected.

Plasma is a component of blood that contains special “factors” or proteins that help blood clot. It also contains proteins that support cell growth. Researchers have made PRP by isolating plasma from blood and concentrating it.

The idea is that injecting PRP into damaged tissue will stimulate your body to grow new, healthy cells and promote healing. Because tissue growth factors are more concentrated in the prepared growth injections, researchers believe that the body’s tissues may heal faster.

What are the purposes of PRP injections?

Researchers are testing PRP injections in a variety of applications. Examples include:

Hair loss, Tendon injuries, Acute injuries, Post-operative repair, Osteoarthritis.

PRP treatment is one of the most requested procedures in terms of aesthetic treatments, because it is safe, does not cause pain and is effective in eliminating wrinkles on the skin, eye sockets, and more.

It is performed on an outpatient basis and without any type of anesthesia, the results obtained are optimal.
