PRP is the isolated portion of plasma in your blood, which is richest in stem cells and growth factors. These cells play a very vital role in your body's natural healing and regenerative abilities. PRP is extracted by collecting a small amount of your blood (amounts similar to what you would submit to at routine blood tests). The blood is placed in a centrifuge that spins the blood at a fast speed to separate liquid plasma from other components.
Platelet rich plasma is blood plasma with concentrated platelets. The concentrated platelets found
in PRP contain huge reservoirs of bioactive proteins, including growth factors that are vital to
initiate and accelerate tissue repair and regeneration. These bioactive proteins initiate connective
tissue healing: bone, tendon and ligament regeneration and repair, promote development of new blood
vessels, and stimulate the wound healing process. So when PRP is injected to the damaged area, it
stimulates the injury causing mild inflammation which triggers the healing cascade of the body. As a
result, new collagen develops and regenerative process gets kick started again.Normal blood contains about 6% platelets, PRP contains about 94% platelets
