What is PRP and How Does It Work?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a concentrated form of plasma derived from your own blood. Plasma contains growth factors and nutrients crucial for cellular repair and regeneration. By isolating and concentrating these components, PRP can be used to accelerate healing and rejuvenation in various medical and cosmetic treatments.
Components of Blood and Their Functions
PRP is derived by separating and concentrating the plasma and platelets from the rest of the blood components. Typically, plasma makes up approximately 55% of total blood volume.
Mechanism of PRP
When injected into targeted areas, PRP releases growth factors to stimulate collagen production and tissue regeneration. Promotes the formation of new blood vessels, which nourishes hair follicles and skin cells. Accelerates Healing and boosts the body’s natural healing processes.

The Discovery and Evolution of PRP
PRP was first developed in the 1970s and introduced with promising results in fields like dentistry and orthopedics for its ability to aid in faster and more efficient healing. Its application in dermatology and cosmetology was realized in the early 2000s, thanks to its remarkable ability to rejuvenate skin and stimulate hair growth.
