PRP preparation kits are used in platelet-rich plasma therapy, a form of regenerative medicine that harnesses and amplifies natural growth factors found in our blood to help heal damaged tissue. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), produced from a person’s own blood, contains a concentrated number of platelets—cells critical for blood clotting. This PRP is injected into the injured or diseased area to accelerate tissue repair and healing. A key advantage of PRP preparation kits is their ability to reduce the need for opioids or even over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications. In fact, use of anti-inflammatories should usually be ceased at the time of PRP treatment, because the platelet-rich plasma optimizes the initial inflammatory response involved with healing.
While PRP may sound futuristic, patients using PRP preparation kits have reported benefits such as:
- Reduce wrinkles
- Plump up sagging skin
- Get rid of deep creases
- Improve one’s complexion
- Diminish acne scars
Another perk: There’s little to no downtime
The efficacy of certain growth factors in healing various injuries and the concentrations of these growth factors found within PRP are the theoretical basis for the use of PRP in tissue repair. Though not required for the process, the platelets collected in PRP can be activated by the addition of thrombin or calcium chloride, which induces the release of the mentioned factors from alpha granules. The addition of Thrombin or Calcium Chloride is not required as the body’s natural thrombin will activate the cells upon injection.
The growth factors and other cytokines present in PRP include:
- Platelet-derived growth factor
- Transforming growth factor beta
- Fibroblast growth factor
- Insulin-like growth factor 1
- Insulin-like growth factor 2
- Vascular endothelial growth factor A
- Vascular endothelial growth factor C
- Epidermal growth factor
- Interleukin 8
- keratinocyte growth factor
- Connective tissue growth factor
- Hepatocyte growth factor
- Stromal cell-derived factor 1
- Endostatin
