PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment is a form of therapy used in various medical fields to enhance healing and tissue regeneration. The process involves using a portion of the patient’s own blood that is rich in platelets, cells in the blood that help to promote healing and growth. Here’s a breakdown of how PRP treatment typically works: Blood Collection: A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient, similar to a routine blood test. Separation Process: The collected blood is then processed in a centrifuge, a machine that spins the blood at high speeds. This separation process helps to concentrate the platelets along with some growth factors in the plasma, the liquid component of blood. Extraction of PRP: The concentrated platelet-rich plasma is extracted from the rest of the blood. Injection into the Treatment Area: The PRP is then injected directly into the injured or affected area of the body. This could be a joint, tendon, ligament, or even scalp for cases involving hair loss.
