What is Platelet Rich Plasma? 

​

Platelet-rich plasma therapy is a form of regenerative medicine that can harness those abilities and amplify the natural growth factors your body uses to heal tissue.

 

Platelet-rich plasma consists of two elements: plasma, or the liquid portion of blood, and platelets, a type of blood cell that plays an important role in healing throughout the body.

 

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses injections of a concentration of a patient’s own platelets to accelerate the healing.  In this way, PRP injections use each individual patient's own healing system for facial rejuvenation, sexual rejuvenation, breast enhancement, musculoskeletal healing and more!

 

PRP injections are prepared using your own blood. After it's drawn, your blood is placed in a specialized system which uses light sensors to separate platelets from the other components of your blood, such as red blood cells.

 

Next, these highly concentrated platelets — or PRP — are injected. There, they release growth factors that help accelerate the healing-regenerative process. 

In order to have amazing results the amount of platelets concentrated by the centrifuge makes a big difference in results and many facilities offering PRP are not using the right centrifuge. 

Are All Centrifuges the Same? 

​

We use the Emcyte Pure PRP® system. It extracts the highest concentrations of platelets on the market while simultaneously removing 99% of red blood cells (RBC’s) which can hinder the regenerative process. Many other PRP systems fall short of delivering a final injectable that can be considered platelet-rich. Unlike many other systems, Emcyte is a completely closed system throughout all steps of the processing that meets the highest sterility standards. So, if you are going to have a PRP injection, start with the best equipment to give you the highest quality product and maximize your success.
