Platelet Rich Plasma is relatively simple to obtain and the entire process can be done in-office in less than a half-hour. A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient and then spun in a centrifuge. This separates the platelets – which comprise just a tiny percentage of the blood – from red and white blood cells. By isolating the platelets, you’re able to produce a highly-concentrated plasma. This is then injected into the area of skin being treated, releasing growth factors that recruit and increase reparative cells. Since platelet rich plasma is produced from the patient’s own blood, it is the ultimate in “natural” healing.
No Risk Of Side-Effects
Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy has been well-received by physicians and patients because it is safe and effective. PRP takes a small amount of the patient’s own blood, therefore there is no risk of disease transmission, rejection, or toxic reaction. This reduces the risk of infection and makes the procedure much less complicated to apply to the patient.
