PRP therapy involves the use of plasma that is isolated from the patient's venous blood, then centrifuged and injected into selected areas of the skin. This processed plasma contains fractions enriched with platelets that actively secrete growth factors. These biologically active compounds promote tissue regeneration, repair and healing.
Growth factors for beauty
Platelets contain growth factors that play a key role in PRP therapy. Among them:
- Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), which activates fibroblasts and cellular regeneration.
- Epidermal growth factor (PDEGF), which helps to increase the number of cells and the formation of new blood vessels.
- Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which stimulates angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels).
- Fibroblastic growth factor (BFGF), which activates the growth of connective tissue.
