What is PRP?

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is a product obtained from a patient's own blood, rich in platelets. Platelets are cell fragments that play an important role in blood clotting and wound healing. PRP increases the concentration of these platelets, allowing for its utilization in various treatment areas.
 

Features of PRP

PRP contains not only platelets but also growth factors, proteins that stimulate cell growth and tissue repair, and other biologically active substances. Thanks to these features, PRP therapy supports the body's natural healing mechanisms and may aid in faster wound healing.

Treatment Process

PRP therapy typically involves the following steps:

1. Blood Collection: A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient's arm.
2. PRP Preparation: The collected blood is processed through centrifugation to increase the concentration of platelets and obtain PRP.
3. Injection: The obtained PRP is injected into the injured or damaged area.
4. Rehabilitation and Follow-up: The patient's condition is regularly monitored post-treatment, and if necessary, a rehabilitation program is implemented.
    

Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages of PRP therapy include its minimally invasive nature, stimulation of cell renewal, and utilization of the patient's own blood. However, further research is needed regarding its effectiveness and long-term effects.
