Platelet Rich Plasma, or also known as “PRP” is an injection treatment whereby a person's own blood is used. The blood is spun down in a special centrifuge to separate its components (Red Blood Cells and Platelet Rich Plasma). The platelet rich plasma contains growth factors from the platelets which amplifies the healing process and helps the natural formation of collagen. PRP is then injected into the area to be treated and can also be used topically with other procedures to reduce down time and amplify results.
Generally, 2-3 treatments are advised, however, more may be indicated for some individuals. Touch up treatment may be done once a year after the initial group of treatments to boost and maintain the results.
