PRP Therapy: Benefits, Procedure, and Recovery Time
What is PRP Therapy?
PRP therapy is a medical treatment that involves taking a sample of your blood and separating the platelets from the plasma. The platelets are then concentrated and injected back into your body at the site of injury. Platelets contain growth factors that can help to speed up the healing process and reduce inflammation.
