Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentrated solution of platelets that may facilitate healing when injected into an area of injured or damaged tissue.
Platelets are small particles in your blood that are best-known for their role in forming clots. However, platelets also carry hundreds of proteins called growth factors, which are an important part of your body’s healing process.
PRP contains a higher concentration of platelets, and therefore a higher concentration of growth factors than normal blood. PRP can be 5-10 times richer in growth factors than typical blood.
