What is PRP?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is an advanced, natural treatment that uses your body’s own healing factors to repair tissue, reduce inflammation, and restore function. A sample of your blood is processed to concentrate platelets, which are then carefully injected into targeted areas.
Platelets contain powerful healing components, including:
- Growth factors (PDGF, TGF-β, VEGF, EGF)
- Cytokines that regulate inflammation
- Bioactive proteins that stimulate cell repair
- Clotting factors that initiate tissue healing
These elements work together to promote tissue regeneration, collagen production, and new blood vessel formation.
