PLATELET-RICH PLASMA

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is blood plasma that has been enriched with platelets. As a concentrated source of autologous platelets, PRP contains several different growth factors and other cytokines that stimulate the healing of bone and soft tissue.

Blood-Derived Growth Factors

The internal essence of your blood contains life-giving fundamental protein growth factors. PRP utilizes a leading-edge patented technology specifically designed. With a simple quick and advantageous process, Dr. Honeycutt is able to derive a high concentration of biological nutrient-rich cells and create autologous platelet-rich plasma. Dr. Honeycutt draws a similar amount of blood required for a basic lab test. Then she places the blood into a centrifuge and spins the blood at a very rapid rate to separate the platelets from the other components of the blood. The platelet-rich plasma is activated to release at least 8 essential growth factors and signaling proteins. Platelet-rich plasma is a technology that deploys aspects of the blood-based biochemistry. Because all constitutes retrieved in PRP are exclusively from the patient (autologous in origin), there is virtually no risk of an allergic reaction or intolerance. Nevertheless, before any treatment it is important to disclose all the medications you are taking (including herbs) with Dr. Honeycutt.

Growth Factor Production Known Effects

Plays a significant role in the regulation of cell growth, proliferation, and the differentiation during the remodeling phase. Stimulates keratinocyte and fibroblast production.

Promotes angiogenesis which is the physiological process involving the growth of new blood vessels.

An important signaling protein involved in both vasculogenesis and angiogenesis, the growth of the blood vessels from pre-existing vasculature.

Promotes angiogenesis, granulation, and epithelialization for the intricate process of the skin repairing itself after injury.

Attracts macrophages and fibroblasts to the zone of injury. Promotes collagen growth and proteoglycan synthesis.

Interleukins, Macrophages, keratinocytes, endothelial cells, Iymphocytes, fibroblasts, osteoblasts, basophils, mast cells.
Activates fibroblasts differentiation. Induces collagen and proteoglycan synthesis for healthy cell production and repair of damaged tissues.

Stimulates granulocyte and macrophage proliferation for the growth of healthy tissue and blood cells.

Keratinocyte migration, differentiation, and proliferations directly enhance wound healing and the generation of new skin.
