WHAT IS PLATELET-RICH PLASMA?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is an autologous concentrated preparation of platelets and the associated growth factors in a small volume of plasma. Platelets are a natural source of a number of growth factors in their natural and biologically-determined ratios. Common treatment areas include microneedling with PRP, hair loss, torn tendons, tendinitis, muscle injuries, arthritis-related pain, joint injuries.
WHAT DO PLATELETS DO?
Platelets release growth factors that regulate the healing process by signaling the surrounding cells to repair damaged tissue and regenerate new tissue. Key growth factors involved in this process include but are not limited to:
Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF)
Transforming Growth Factor group (TGF)
Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF)
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF)
Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF)
Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF)
