Home > Treatments > Platelet Rich Plasma
When one undergoes Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy in London with injections, the process involves extracting a small sample of the patient’s blood, which is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from other elements of blood. The concentrated platelet-rich plasma is injected into the affected area, delivering a potent dose of growth factors and cytokines to stimulate tissue repair and regeneration.
