Our plasma has small fragments of proteins that are capable of stimulating action of fibroblasts (indispensable cells to maintain the integrity of connective tissue) and the PRP does is draw blood to the patient, centrifuging to separate the platelets from the red blood cells, and then infiltrate these platelets in the area to be treated.
