PRP Injection (Platelet-rich Plasma)
WHAT IS PRP AND IT’S FUNCTION
Plasma is the liquid part of your blood that’s mostly made of water, protein, and platelet. It allows red, white blood cells and platelets move through your bloodstream. The high concentrated platelet also plays a role in healing and preventing infections in the human body, platelets release growth factors into the matrix which holds the growth factors in place and growth factors stimulate and recruit multipotent stem cells to grow new healthier tissue in order to rejuvenate damaged tissue in the area.
Doctors have been using PRP effectively to treat injuries or damaged ligaments during surgeries in operating rooms and clinics.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is concentrated from your own blood which contains healing factors, such as white blood cells and bioactive proteins, called growth factors and stem cell markers. These cells are vital for tissue regeneration and repair. Platelets, once thought of being responsible only for clotting, have scientifically been proven to be a reservoir of these vital healing components. With the advanced techniques of Emcyte Pure PRP System, these regenerative healing cells are collected and concentrated in simple outpatient settings.
