PRP stands for platelet rich plasma. Your blood contains special cells called platelets that enable healing and regeneration. These platelets carry molecules called growth factors that allow your tissues to repair themselves. Plasma is another word for the liquid part of your blood.
That means that PRP is simply a concentration of two substances that occur naturally as part of your own blood.
During your PRP injections in Cincinnati, we draw your blood and refine it down to a high concentration of these important elements. After we inject you, your body can put these growth factors to work in regenerating tissue in the target area. This extra platelet count allows your cells to intensify the healing process.
