What is Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy?
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a process whereby blood plasma is enriched by platelets. This process allows for the healing of soft tissues and bone, it is used clinically for the treatment of sporting injuries, tendinosis, osteoarthritis, nerve injury and cosmetics. PRP is a natural approach to rejuvenating skin and promoting hair growth.
How does it work?
A small amount of blood is taken from the arm, in the same way that a standard blood sample is taken. The platelet-rich plasma from your blood is then separated out by centrifugation. The concentrated plasma is then reintroduced into targeted areas requiring treatment which can include the scalp and skin, supporting tissue repair and encouraging new collagen or hair growth. Research shows that this is a very safe procedure with minimal risk of complications. As the blood used comes from the patient there is no risk of transmitting disease or rejection.
