What is PRP?
It is a watery fluid derived from the patient’s own blood. This plasma is rich in platelets which have increased concentration of growth factors. The platelets along with the growth factors play an important role in stimulating cell reproduction, tissue regeneration and healing in the treated area.
How Is PRP Created?
The process begins with drawing a small amount of blood from the patient. This blood is then placed into a centrifuge, a device that rapidly spins the sample, separating the platelets from the other components of the blood. The result is a concentrated plasma, rich in platelets and ready to work its magic.
