What is PRP?
The supernatant of centrifuged blood is plasma, rich in platelets; the gold-colored supernatant is hence, ‘platelet-rich plasma (PRP)’. Often blood is double-spun (centrifuged twice) to achieve a concentration of platelets six times greater than occurs physiologically — or about 1M/ml plasma.
Platelets naturally contain growth factors which — in nature — allows injured tissues to grow new tissue and heal. Introducing concentrated platelet growth factors has been shown to have beneficial effects on the skin and other organs and tissues.

FAQ
Within the alpha granules of the platelets are growth factors; in nature, platelets degranulate when encountering injured or bleeding tissue to induce healing and promote the growth of connective tissue. PRP exploits the function of the platelets to thicken the subcutaneous stroma and improve skin coloration.
Dentists, orthopedists (particularly in the arena of sports medicine), and cardiovascular surgeons have been using PRP for decades to enhance restorative growth. Histologic studies demonstrate thickened dermis and collagen after PRP treatments.
