What is PRP?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): Everything You Need to Know
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a regenerative treatment that uses a small sample of your own blood. The blood is processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, which are rich in growth factors that help stimulate tissue repair, collagen production, and healing.
