Platelet-rich plasma or PRP

Platelet-rich plasma collection as injections form

Platelet-rich plasma:

Platelet-rich plasma or PRP, is a substance that’s thought to promote healing when injected. Plasma is a component of your blood that contains special “factors” or proteins, that help your blood to clot. It also contains proteins that support cell growth. Researchers have produced PRP by isolating plasma from blood and concentrating it.

 

The idea is that injecting PRP into damaged tissues will stimulate your body to grow new, healthy cells and promote healing. Because the tissue growth factors are more concentrated in the prepared growth injections,  researchers think the body’s tissues may heal faster.

Because PRP injections are intended to promote healing or growth, you may not notice an immediate difference after receiving the injections. However, in several weeks or months, you may observe that the area is healing faster or growing more hair than you would have expected if you hadn’t received PRP injections.
