Platelet-Rich Plasma is a concentrated portion of your own blood that contained platelets and growth factor that aid in repairing damaged tissue in the body. Platelet-Rich Plasma is injected to the site of injury to accelerate and assist in the healing process.

Growth factors contained in PRP:

Platelet derived growth factor PDGF -Enhances collagen synthesis, proliferation of bone cells, fibroblast chemotaxis and proliferative activity, macrophage activation

Transforming growth factor ß TGF-ß -Enhances synthesis of type I collagen, promotes angiogenesis, stimulates chemotaxis of immune cells, inhibits osteoclast formation and bone resorption

Vascular endothelial growth factor VEGF -Stimulates angiogenesis, migration and mitosis of endothelial cells, increases permeability of the vessels, stimulates chemotaxis of macrophages and neutrophils

Epidermal growth factor EGF -Stimulates cellular proliferation, differentiation of epithelial cells, promotes cytokine secretion by mesenchymal and epithelial cells

Insulin-like growth factor IGF -Promotes cell growth, differentiation, recruitment in bone, blood vessel, skin and other tissues, stimulates collagen synthesis together with PDGF

Fibroblast growth factor FGF -Promotes proliferation of mesenchymal cells, chondrocytes and osteoblasts, stimulates the growth and differentiation of chondrocytes and osteoblast
