What is PRP?
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is an innovative biological treatment that uses a concentration of platelets from your own blood to promote the healing of damaged tissue. Platelets are blood elements known for their role in clotting, but they also contain growth factors that can help in tissue regeneration .
Il prelievo
The process begins with drawing blood from the patient, similar to a regular blood test.
The Centrifugation
Il campione di sangue viene poi processato in una centrifuga per separare le piastrine dagli altri componenti sanguigni.
Infiltration
Il PRP viene infine iniettato nell’area del corpo che necessita di trattamento, per favorire i processi rigenerativi biologici
