Platelets play an important role in the functioning of body and tissue repair. By releasing growth factors, they stimulate the division and growth of damaged cells. An increase in platelet concentration in the blood promotes tissue repair and wound healing.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is blood plasma with a high content of platelets that have healing, regenerative and anti-ageing effect on body tissues. PRP contains 3-5 times more growth factors, cytokines, and biologically active proteins than whole blood.

Growth factors are natural proteins of the human body that can stimulate cell growth, proliferation and differentiation. These include platelet growth factor, transforming growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factor, epithelial growth factor, etc.

PRP METHOD SAFETY

During PRP-therapy, foreign substances do not enter the body, because platelet-rich plasma consists entirely of the patient’s blood components. Such authenticity excludes allergic reactions and ensures good tolerance and safety of the therapy.
