PRP, or Platelet Rich Plasma, is a concentrated plasma rich in platelets obtained by centrifuging a small amount of the patient’s own blood in a specialized tube. The process of injecting this platelet-rich plasma into the patient’s skin is known as PRP therapy.

To perform PRP, a small blood sample is taken from the patient under sterile conditions using special tubes provided in the PRP kit, similar to blood sampling for laboratory tests. This blood is then centrifuged for a specific duration and speed, separating the platelet-rich plasma portion using a specialized kit. The prepared PRP is then injected subcutaneously into the targeted area.

Platelets play a critical role in the body’s natural healing process. When an injury occurs, they travel to the injury site to initiate tissue repair by releasing growth factors and various healing agents, accelerating the repair process. In other words, platelets are the cells responsible for starting and stimulating tissue repair in damaged areas.

Due to its ability to support tissue regeneration and enhance the body’s natural healing process, PRP therapy is widely used in both aesthetic and medical applications.
