What is Platelet Rich Plasma?
Although blood is primarily a liquid (plasma), it also contains other components, including platelets. Within platelets are growth factors that may initiate tissue repair. Growth factors derived from platelets have also been shown to be responsible for bone regeneration, development of new blood vessels and stimulation of the wound healing process. The concentrated platelets in PRP may help optimize the conditions for healing.*
