What is PRP?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a medical treatment that involves promote healing and accelerate using the patient's own blood to tissue repair. Blood is composed of red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma and platelets. Platelets are small cell fragments that play a crucial role in blood clotting and contain growth factors that are essential for tissue repair. The PRP procedure involves the following steps: blood collection, centrifugation, plasma separation and PRP extraction.
To begin, a small amount of the patient's blood is drawn, similar to a routine blood test. Then, the collected blood is processed in a centrifuge (a machine that spins at high speeds) This process separates the blood into its different components. Furthermore, the centrifuge separates the plasma (the liquid component of blood) from the red and white blood cells. The platelets are concentrated in the plasma. Lastly, the concentrated platelets are collected to create the Platelet-Rich Plasma.
