PRP stands for Platelet-rich plasma. It is a patient’s own blood which has been spun down using a centrifuge, to separate out the portion of the plasma most rich in platelets from the red and white blood cells. Those platelets, when activated release numerous growth factors which helps repair tissue. Normal platelet counts in blood range between 150,000/µl and 350,000/µl and average about 200,000/µl. Because the scientific proof of bone and soft tissue healing enhancement has been shown using PRP with 1,000,000 platelets/µl, it is this concentration of platelets in a 5-ml volume of plasma which is the working definition of PRP today. Using your own blood-derived growth factors to make you look and feel Ageless.

You will notice in the attached comparison study performed by an independent third party, that PureSpin PRP® technology is unsurpassed yielding a platelet concentration of 5-7 x baseline and the highest percentage of growth factors released.
