platelet-rich plasma
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a medical treatment that uses a concentration of platelets derived from a patient's own blood. The process involves drawing blood, processing it in a centrifuge to separate the components, and extracting the plasma that is rich in platelets. This plasma contains growth factors that can promote healing and tissue regeneration.
PRP is commonly used in various fields, including orthopedics, dermatology, and dentistry. It is often applied to treat injuries, enhance recovery after surgery, and improve skin conditions. The use of PRP is considered safe since it utilizes the patient's own biological material, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or infections.
