platelet-rich plasma (PRP)
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 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 sports medicine. It is often applied to treat injuries, enhance recovery after surgery, and improve skin appearance. The treatment is considered minimally invasive and is generally well-tolerated by patients.
