PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma. The procedure involves taking a small amount of blood from the person receiving treatment, processing it in a special way and injecting it back into the body. The resulting plasma is rich in platelets. Their primary role is to help blood clot, and their growth-promoting properties also make them important in wound healing.
PRP is used in the treatment of orthopaedic conditions, hair loss and skin rejuvenation. This method promotes faster wound healing and is also used with dental implants to support faster healing. PRP treatment can be administered in 3–4 sessions at intervals of 2–4 weeks.
