Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a treatment that uses the patient's own blood to promote healing. In a typical procedure, a small amount of blood is drawn and processed to separate the platelets, which are rich in growth factors. This concentrated plasma is then injected into areas that need healing, such as injured joints, muscles, or skin. PRP is thought to enhance the body’s natural healing processes and may be used in various fields, including sports medicine, orthopedics, and cosmetic procedures, to improve recovery and rejuvenate tissues.
