What is PLATELET RICH PLASMA  (PRP)?

PRP is a rich source of autologous platelets which are anuclear cells containing alpha granules responsible for the synthesis and storage of growth factors that accelerate tissue growth. This is a real revolution in medicine, using natural factors that allow tissue rejuvenation.

Preparation of PRP

First of all, 25 ml of blood are taken from the patient while respecting aseptic technique . This sample is centrifuged for 3 minutes. This makes it possible to separate its various components and to increase the platelet concentration. The alpha granules speed up freely growth factors. Then, The PRP obtained is injected under local anesthesia. Any anti-inflammatory or anti-coagulant treatment should be stopped 3 days before application.
