History: The concept of PRP began in the 1970s; the study of blood became a focus known as hematology. In the world of medicine and blood transfusions, those donors found to have higher platelet volumes were sought after for treatment of patients with known lower counts. During the 80s and 90s PRP was used in the operating room for specific procedures performed on teeth, jaw and face, as well as certain cosmetics and skin grafting. Since the late 90s, PRP use has spread to the treatment of joints, tissue repair, sports injuries, plastics and even sexual health for both med and women.
How it works: Platelets are a component of your own blood, mainly responsible for wound repair and blood clotting. Vital in skin healing and repair, platelets help to activate growth factors (such as collagen), promote additional blood flow and increase new cell production.
