Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)<\/strong> therapy is an innovative medical treatment that uses the body\u2019s own platelets to accelerate healing, improve skin quality, and stimulate hair growth. It has gained worldwide popularity because it is safe, natural, non-surgical, and effective<\/strong> for many cosmetic and medical needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

What Is PRP?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma<\/strong>, a portion of blood that contains a high concentration of platelets. Platelets are rich in growth factors<\/strong> that support tissue repair, cell regeneration, and healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During PRP preparation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Blood is spun in a centrifuge machine<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Platelets are separated and concentrated<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. PRP is injected into targeted areas<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Since PRP comes from the patient\u2019s own blood, the risk of allergic reaction or infection is extremely low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
