PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma, is a regenerative medical treatment that uses a patient's own blood to promote healing and tissue repair. It has gained popularity in various fields of medicine, including dermatology, orthopedics, and sports medicine.
Platelet-Rich Plasma is a concentrated solution derived from the patient's own blood, rich in platelets and growth factors. Platelets are a component of blood that plays a crucial role in healing and clot formation.
Centrifugation: The blood is placed in a centrifuge, which spins it rapidly. This process separates the blood into different components: red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. The platelet-rich portion of the plasma is then extracted.
PRP therapy harnesses the body's own healing mechanisms to promote tissue repair and regeneration. It is a versatile and promising treatment option, with applications ranging from joint pain management to cosmetic enhancements like hair restoration and skin rejuvenation.
