Platelet Rich Plasma Injections & Skin Care Treatments in Littleton, CO
Platelet rich plasma (PRP) treatment is a form of regenerative skin care treatment medicine that can harness the natural growth factors your body uses to heal tissue. Platelet rich plasma treatment uses injections made from a concentration of your own tiny blood cells, called platelets, to accelerate the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints. In this way, platelet rich plasma treatment injections use your body’s own healing system to improve musculoskeletal problems.

What Is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)?
Although blood is mainly a liquid (called plasma), it also contains small solid components — red cells, white cells, and platelets. The platelets are best known for clotting blood; however, they also contain hundreds of proteins called “growth factors,” which are critical when healing injuries. PRP is plasma with significantly more platelets than what is typically found in the blood. The concentration of platelets — and, thereby, the concentration of stem cell stimulating growth factors — can be five to 10 times greater (or richer) than usual. When PRP is injected into the area of injury, it can boost your body’s natural ability to heal itself.
