Introduction to Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

PRP Therapy: Principles, Protocols, and Clinical Applications

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a cornerstone of regenerative medicine due to its autologous nature, safety profile, and versatility. Derived from the patient’s own blood, PRP contains concentrated platelets rich in growth factors that stimulate healing and tissue regeneration. This minimally invasive treatment is used across orthopaedics, sports medicine, dermatology, and aesthetics.

This comprehensive module explores the scientific basis, preparation protocols, and clinical use cases of PRP therapy. It also highlights key considerations for practitioners and professionals involved in promoting PRP systems or administering treatment.

Learning Outcomes:

• Grasp the physiological and biochemical basis of PRP and its regenerative mechanisms.
• Evaluate different PRP preparation methods and their impact on efficacy.
• Apply evidence-based protocols in musculoskeletal, aesthetic, and dermatological settings.
