PRP Plasma Therapy

Platelet-rich plasma therapy draws on the body's own tissue repair biology. Platelets are primarily known for their role in haemostasis, but they are also repositories of alpha-granules containing growth factors — bioactive proteins that regulate cell proliferation, migration and differentiation in wound healing contexts. Key growth factors in PRP include platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), vascular endothelial…
