PRP contains growth factors to help with cell reproduction and stimulate tissue regeneration and healing in the treated area.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) consists of three elements: plasma, which is the liquid portion of blood; platelets, a type of blood cell that plays an important role in healing throughout the body; and a small number of your own stem cells.
Platelets are well known for their ability to clot, but they also contain growth factors that can trigger cell reproduction and stimulate tissue regeneration and healing in the treated area.
After creating platelet-rich plasma from a patient’s blood sample, that solution is injected into the target area, such as an injured knee or a tendon. In some cases, the clinician may use ultrasound to guide the injection. The idea is to increase the concentration of specific bioproteins or hormones, called growth factors, in a specific area to accelerate the healing process.
When PRP is injected after an injury, your medical provider may recommend that you rest the affected area. However, these recommendations are more related to the injury and less to the PRP injections. Most people can continue their daily activities following PRP injections.
Because PRP injections are intended to promote healing or growth, you may not notice an immediate difference after receiving the injections. However, in several weeks or months, the area may begin healing faster or growing more hair than you would have expected if you hadn’t received PRP injections.
