What is PRP treatment?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is prepared from a sample of your own blood. Processing concentrates platelets, which contain growth factors and other signaling proteins involved in the body’s healing response. The prepared PRP is injected into a selected treatment area when clinically appropriate. Its potential usefulness depends on the diagnosis, and research findings vary.
