Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a medical treatment that uses a patient's own blood to promote healing. The process involves drawing a small amount of blood, which is then processed in a centrifuge to separate the plasma, rich in platelets and growth factors, from other blood components. This concentrated plasma is then injected into the area needing treatment.
PRP is commonly used in various fields, including orthopedics, dermatology, and sports medicine, to aid in the recovery of injuries, enhance skin rejuvenation, and improve hair growth. Its effectiveness is attributed to the growth factors that stimulate tissue repair and regeneration.
