The concept of platelet rich plasma therapy

For instance, your hands have nice protective layer of natural grease which protects from skin damage. Unfortunately, moisturizers cannot protect them forever, and eventually you’ll be facing with things like fine lines, age spots and wrinkles. PRP therapy simply allows tissue regeneration process by using your own blood cells.

The importance of platelets
