The Power of Healing: The Science Behind PRP
Platelet Rich Plasma, commonly known as PRP, represents a cutting-edge advancement in medical technology. Its effectiveness spans a broad spectrum of health issues, offering more than just recovery solutions for sports injuries or enhancing skin rejuvenation.
Components
- Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)
- Fibroblast growth factors (FGF-II)
- Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)
- Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1)
- Transforming growth factor-b (TGF-b)
- Epidermal growth factor (EGF)
Benefits
- Accelerated Wound Healing
- Enhanced Recovery
- Relief from Inflammation
- Minimal Risk
- Ease pain
PRF: The Enhanced Healing Matrix
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is an advanced version of PRP. It's a second-generation PRP, where fibrin, a protein essential for blood clotting, is utilised. PRF is created by a slower centrifugation process, resulting in a richer concentration of platelets, white blood cells, and fibrin.
PRF additionally contains
- Fibrin clot - Enriched with platelets
- Leukocytes- White blood cells
- Cytokines- Proteins that act as messengers between the cells and influence their actions
- Structural glycoproteins: Water-soluble proteins that are attached to carbohydrates or sugars
- Circulating stem cells
Benefits
- Promotes Speedy Healing
- Lower Risk of Side Effects
- PRF supports the immune system
- PRF stops bleeding in the wound site & seals wounds
- No additives needed such as anti clotting agents, bovine thrombin, calcium chloride, or other activating compounds
