PRP or Platelet Rich Plasma

PRP or Platelet Rich Plasma is an innovative treatment used for a wide range of medical and aesthetic concerns using your body’s natural healing properties to stimulate repair of tissues. It is a method with very little side effects or allergic reactions since it comes from you. With PRP you can transform your looks, heal musculoskeletal injuries, and get a better quality of life.

The success of PRP is dependent on several factors.

1. How many platelets you have available in your blood to concentrate.

2. The quality of the spin including the speed and number of rotations with the centrifuge.

3. Whether other additives have been used with the serum. Some additives can decrease the effectiveness of the PRP.

4. Your personal medical history and medications. Some conditions do not show significant improvements and some medications can decrease the effectiveness of the platelets.

What is PRP?

PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma discovered in the 1970s to aid in the healing of wounds. Now, PRP injections have become a preferred treatment for various issues over painful surgery.

PRP is derived from blood that is taken from you and then spun in a special centrifuge to separate important growth factors and stem cells that speed up healing or improve aesthetic looks.

How it works?

When our body naturally repairs itself, there is an increase of blood that rushes to the injury site. Within this blood are several healing and growth factors that get to work to repair the damaged site. When your blood is taken and spun properly, what is obtained is a highly concentrated serum of growth factors, cytokines, and mesenchymal stems cells. PRP serum can have up to 7-8 times the growth factors of normal plasma which gives it the potential to heal or transform tissue more quickly.
