Once the plasma is centrifuged and extracted from the blood, it is reinfected to the affected area(s). Results are often seen weeks after treatment. Multiple treatments may be necessary. 

 

PRP has cosmetic application for wrinkles and fine lines. Many know this as a vampire facial.

PRP is a method of concentrating these signaling molecules to help increase circulation to areas with lower vascularity, like the joints and tendons. PRP is also apple to wound healing, hair loss and cosmetic procedures.
