Platelet-rich plasma treatment, or PRP therapy for short, harnesses the healing properties of a patient’s blood to accelerate the repair of damaged tissues. This therapy is commonly used to address acute injuries, such as tendon or ligament tears, and degenerative conditions, such as osteoarthritis. PRP therapy can also be used on the face to stimulate elastin and collagen production to minimize wrinkles, scars, and other imperfections. Additionally, PRP therapy can be used as a hair loss treatment, as it stimulates dormant hair follicles and encourages new hair growth. The bottom line is that this treatment approach is incredibly versatile. Depending on your specific needs, the healthcare professional will tailor your PRP treatment plan to deliver noticeable improvements, whether it be reducing stiffness, promoting healing, achieving a smoother complexion, or another treatment goal.
