Your blood is made up of different components. The two main components are plasma and platelets. The platelets have a number of incredible healing components, such as proteins and growth factors, that aid tremendously in healing and repairing the body. Our doctors utilize these components in order to promote healing in areas of need.
For PRP therapy, what we do is start with a small blood sample that is drawn directly from the patient in-house. This is then spun at a rapid rate in a machine called a centrifuge, which separates the components of the blood. The concentration of platelets is then taken and added to a small amount of plasma to create the actual serum that is used in the PRP injection.
The final serum is incredibly rich in healing properties, and can not only aid recovery in injured areas but also does wonders in aesthetic procedures as well.
