PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma, and it’s a treatment that uses your own blood to promote healing in different parts of your body.
A small amount of your blood is drawn, just like a regular blood test.

What’s left after the separation is a plasma that’s packed with platelets—hence, "platelet-rich."
This concentrated plasma is then injected into the area that needs healing, like joints, tendons, or even the scalp if you’re treating hair loss.
