How Does Platelet-Rich Plasma Work?
The liquid portion of our blood is called plasma. It transports proteins, nutrients, and hormones and carries the red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets throughout the body. Platelets are a type of blood cell that is known for their clotting and healing abilities. Physicians can extract a small amount of blood and process it in a machine called a centrifuge, which separates the other components of the blood from the plasma and platelets, creating PRP.
The concentrated platelets can then be injected under the skin to stimulate cell reproduction and promote healing. The platelets release growth factors that cause cell renewal and the production of collagen and elastin in the treated area. This powerful combination can repair damaged tissue, fade the appearance of scars, improve the skin’s texture and vibrance, and stimulate hair growth.
