Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) (a.k.a) Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a therapy that uses your own cells to support and re-grow your tissue. Platelets contain the tools that your body normally uses to regenerate after injuries and wounds – and although it often sounds too good to be true – when you apply it to tissue – sink, hair, ligaments inside the knee, etc – that tissue will regenerate. To make PRP/PRF we draw a small amount of blood from your arm and spin it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets into a small amount of plasma – hence the name platelet-rich plasma, or PRP. Platelet-Rich Plasma is gaining in popularity for the same reasons athletes and celebrities choose it: because of its organic nature and most importantly because it works. Bonus: Since PRP and PRF use plasma and platelets from your own blood, the side effects are practically nonexistent.
