Platelet-rich plasma

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a treatment that uses your own blood to promote healing. Blood contains platelets, which are cells that help stop bleeding and repair tissues. In PRP therapy, a small amount of your blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from other blood components. The concentrated platelets are then injected into the affected area, releasing growth factors that stimulate tissue repair and reduce inflammation. PRP is commonly used in sports injuries, arthritis, and cosmetic procedures to foster natural healing processes.
