Platelet Rich Plasma, or PRP, is a substance injected to promote healing. Plasma is a component of the blood that contains factors and proteins that help it to clot. It also contains proteins that support cell growth. PRP is produced by isolating plasma from the blood and concentrating it.
Injecting PRP into damaged tissue stimulates the body to develop new healthy cells and promotes rapid healing because the latter is concentrated in growth factors.
