Is Platelet-rich Plasma Therapy The Future or Trend?

 


What is Platelet-rich Plasma? 

Platelet-rich Plasma is a concentrated platelet injection, which releases growth factors in non-healing injuries to stimulate recovery. PRP therapy involves the following procedure. 

  • A blood test takes blood out and re-introduces the concentrated blood platelets from your blood into the injured area. 

  • Blood platelets contain growth and healing factors. When concentrated through centrifuging, your blood plasma's healing factors are enriched.

Platelets play a central role in blood clotting and wound/injury healing. The procedure of PRP consists of blood from the patient, plasma separation, and the application of platelet-rich plasma.

A Detailed Understanding of The PRP Application

After an acute non-healing injury, platelets gather on the injured area to help stop the bleeding. In addition, they release content that is a powerful stimulator of healing. These growth factors are crucial for the initial phase of recovery. 

PRP causes the proliferation of fibroblasts and other immune cells, causing the acceleration of the regeneration of injured tissues. Additionally, PRP recruits undifferentiated cells/ stem cells to the injury site. 

Stem cells help enhance mesenchymal stem/ stromal cell differentiation and proliferation. Stromal cells support primary adhesion. PRP has many potential uses for treating an injury. Let's delve into the role of platelet-rich plasma therapy.

The Role of PRP Therapy

PRP can be used for various conditions - orthopedic, musculoskeletal, dermatology, and plastic surgery. In addition, PRP is a favorable nonsurgical treatment. Researchers and healthcare experts of R3 Stem Cell have found that PRP is the new treatment option for injuries. Clinical studies report PRP treatments to have short recovery time, enhanced bone strength, bone healing, decreased wound infection, and no surgery-related swelling and pain. 

- Tendon, Ligament, Muscle, and Joint Injuries: Treating musculoskeletal injuries decreases pain and enables a return to a normal lifestyle.

- Post-Surgical Healing: Accelerated healing after surgeries.

- Osteoarthritis: Help treat pain and stiffness and reduce inflammation.

- Hair Loss: To prevent balding/hair loss and promote new hair growth.

- Skin Rejuvenation: Used as an anti-aging treatment.
