Plasmolifting PRP Practice in Orthopedics
How does PRP therapy work?
Modern technology for activating your own plasma allows you to make a treatment session quick and painless. A small amount of blood is taken from the venous bed of the applicant, from which platelet-rich plasma is obtained by centrifugation.
Since different blood elements have different sizes and weights, after treatment with a centrifuge, several layers are created in a test tube that make it easy to remove all unnecessary, leaving the platelets necessary for therapy. The normal platelet content in blood plasma is 180-320×109/l. After enrichment, they become 1000-2500 ×1009/l. At the same time, platelets themselves contain many biologically active substances — growth factors. The resulting solution is injected into the affected areas. In rare cases, 1 procedure is enough, but more often you have to do 3-5 manipulations with an interval of 7 days.
