Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy involves using an individual’s own blood platelets to accelerate healing in various conditions. The timeframe for observing noticeable improvements following PRP treatment varies significantly depending on the specific condition being addressed and individual patient factors.
The benefits of PRP include potentially reduced reliance on pain medication and a quicker return to normal activities. Historically, its use has expanded from wound healing to include applications in sports medicine, dermatology, and even certain surgical procedures. This shift reflects a growing understanding of its regenerative properties and potential to enhance the body’s natural healing mechanisms.
