How does PRP work?

When PRP is injected into the treatment area it causes a mild inflammation that triggers the healing process.  As the platelets organize in the treatment area, they release several enzymes to promote healing and tissue responses including attracting stem cells and growth factors to repair the damaged area.

As a result, new collagen begins to develop. As the collagen matures it begins to shrink causing the tightening and strengthening of the damaged area.  When treating injured, aged, or damaged tissue, this can induce a remodelling of the tissue to a healthier and younger form.
