Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a preparation with a particularly high concentration of platelets (PLT) in a small volume of plasma. This a common treatment that many people opt for following a hair transplant procedure.
PRP contains growth factors and bioactive proteins that regulate differentiated cells, modulating cell growth and activity. All of these are vital for tissue regeneration and the fabrication of engineered tissues.
In PRP therapy, autologous PRP is derived from the patient’s own blood. In the course of PRP therapy, concentrated PRP is either injected or applied locally. This improves tissue conditions and wound healing.
