What is Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy or PRP?<\/p>\n<\/div>
Blood contains white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets.
\nPRP is a liquid that contains a higher concentration of platelets than what is typically found in the blood. PRP is sometimes used for growth or healing purposes because platelets contain high levels of growth factors.<\/p>\n<\/div>
How is the procedure performed?<\/p>\n<\/div>
To obtain plasma with a higher concentration of platelets, the patient\u2019s blood is drawn and spun down using a centrifuge causing the platelets to accumulate together. This high concentration of platelets can be collected and used either topically or via injection.<\/p>\n<\/div>
What can PRP be used to treat?<\/p>\n<\/div>
In dermatology, it is most commonly being tested for alopecia, facial rejuvenation and\/or for its healing properties.<\/p>\n<\/div>
