PRP means platelet-rich plasma. Platelets are blood cells, the main function of which is the protection of organism from the loss of blood. Besides, platelets release special regulating proteins, which enhance regeneration – restoration processes in tissues. Platelet-rich plasma is obtained from the patient’s own blood, as it is centrifuged in a special tube. When getting in tissues, plasma releases protein growth factors, which stimulate cell synthesis.
Restoration of the musculoskeletal system depends on growth factors. If the growth factor is not sufficient, the damages, existing in tendons, ligaments, the joint structure itself (including spinal column) persist forever. Growth factors make an impact on the cell DNA and activate regeneration processes.
When getting back to blood, concentrated platelets start to actively stimulate the growth of new cells. fibroblasts and muscle fibers are sensitive to growth factors. An increase of their quantity enhances resilience and elasticity, allows restoration of the damaged areas of joint and muscle structures, strengthens hair roots in the bed.
