What is PRP therapy?

To better understand PRP Therapy

In order to understand how Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) works, it is important to have a basic understanding of the human blood. Our blood is made up of a liquid, called plasma, filled with small solid components of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.


The platelets work as important clotting factor at wound sites, helping to stop bleeding and establish a clot, essentially plugging a hole at the site of a bleed. In addition, platelets contain many proteins known as growth factors which are important in cellular healing. The platelet-derived growth factors help regenerate cells in the body and accelerates the body’s own healing process.


What is PRP therapy and injecting platelet rich plasma

How does it work?

A small sample of your blood is drawn and placed in a centrifuge that spins the blood at high speeds, separating the platelets from the other components. Enriched with growth and healing concentration, the PRP is then injected into the point of injury, jump-starting and strengthening the body’s natural healing process.
