PRP

What is platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy?

Your blood contains four ingredients:

  • Red blood cells
  • White blood cells
  • Platelets
  • Plasma

Your platelets are largely responsible for clotting, but they also contain hundreds of growth factors, or proteins, that promote regeneration and healing.

Qvita Health & Wellness uses DrPRP® to create a concentrate of platelets from your own blood using a special centrifuge. Once the platelets are isolated, they’re mixed back in with your plasma and re-injected into areas where your soft tissue can use a healing or regenerative boost. The platelets release growth factors that signal your body to send in additional resources to help rebuild and repair the tissue.

What can PRP treat?

PRP therapy has enjoyed great success in the orthopedic world, helping patients with soft tissue injuries heal more quickly. On the cosmetic side, PRP is becoming a popular therapy for turning back the forces of aging in damaged skin since it encourages new growth at a cellular level. Not only does this help with overall aging skin, but it’s also particularly useful for:

  • Wrinkles
  • Scars
  • Sun damage
  • Dark circles under the eyes

When combined with microneedling, PRP can produce dramatic anti-aging results.

The team at Qvita Health & Wellness also use PRP therapy to promote new hair growth.
