Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a non-surgical treatment that can dramatically improve the appearance of your skin.
It combines two elements: plasma, or the liquid portion of your blood, and platelets, or blood cells that play a key role in your body’s natural healing process. By using your own blood cells to amplify your body’s natural ability to heal, platelet-rich plasma can rejuvenate your skin from the inside out.
