How does it work?
Enriched Plasma (PRP) is a biologic that is extracted from your own blood which is enriched with platelets and growth factors. This is achieved by separating a portion of your blood into two components: red blood cells and plasma containing platelets, clotting factors, and white blood cells. PRP therapy is widely used to potentially accelerate the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints, as well as for skin rejuvenation, hair loss, and wound repair.
