How useful is PRP Therapy?

• The body’s initial response to soft tissue injury is to deliver platelet cells.
• Packed with growth and healing factors, platelets kick off repair and attract the critical assistance of stem cells.
• PRP therapy’s natural healing process strengthens the body’s efforts by delivering a higher concentration of platelets.
• For creating this therapy, a small sample of your blood is drawn and placed in a centrifuge that spins the blood at high speeds, unraveling the platelets from the other components.
• The cosmetician then injects the concentrated platelet rich plasma (PRP) into and around the point of injury, jump starting and considerably strengthening the body’s natural healing signal.
• As your own blood is used, there is no risk of a transmissible infection and there is a very low risk of allergic reaction.
