Platelets are tiny cell fragments that contain high concentrations of growth factors within their cytoplasmic granules. Given the appropriate stimuli, platelets are activated and release these cytoplasmic granules. The growth factors contained within these granules are the signalling molecules that “order” cells to start growing and proliferating, and also attract other necessary cells to the site, essentially initiating the healing process. Since doctors and scientists alike have been able to isolate and utilize the remarkable healing properties of PRP, the approaches to health and wellness have changed drastically. PRP therapy has been implemented in treating various musculoskeletal conditions and has also established itself in Aesthetics.

PRP is very often combined with Stem Cell Therapy as the consequent growth factors contained within the plasma provide the necessary cues, signals, and micro-environment for the stem cells to grow and proliferate, ensuring the best possible outcome for the patient.
