PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy leverages your body’s natural regeneration capabilities. It promotes the growth of new blood vessels, tissue, and collagen. Growth factors, stored in blood platelets, stimulate the formation of new tissue and blood vessels. A small sample of your blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to separate platelets from whole blood. The platelets are reinjected into targeted areas, releasing growth factors where needed. A small number of your own stem cells are also injected. Growth factors in the PRP attract additional stem cells from surrounding tissue.

These stem cells transform into the new tissue needed for healing PRP therapy is a natural alternative to synthetic corrective treatments.
