platelet-rich plasma

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) It is a regenerative medicine technique that involves using a patient's blood sample to obtain a platelet concentrate with a high content of growth factors. PRP has been used in a wide variety of medical and aesthetic treatments due to its ability to stimulate tissue repair and regeneration.

The mechanism of action of PRP is based on the release of growth factors contained in platelets.

Platelets are blood cells that are activated when tissue injury, such as a wound, occurs.

When platelets are activated, they release growth factors, which are proteins that stimulate tissue repair and regeneration.

Growth factors released by PRP include platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), and other factors that help stimulate cell proliferation and the formation of new blood vessels.

When PRP is injected into a damaged area of the body, the growth factors contained in the PRP are released into the area, stimulating tissue repair and regeneration.

For example, when PRP is used to treat muscle injuries, the growth factors contained in PRP help stimulate muscle cell proliferation and the formation of new blood vessels, which accelerates the healing process.

In the case of the use of PRP at the vulvar level, it has been used to treat female sexual dysfunction, SGM, vulvar atrophy, dyspareunia, vulvar lichen sclerosus, and mild urinary incontinence.

PRP is injected into the vulvar and vaginal areas to stimulate tissue regeneration and improve blood circulation in the area, which can relieve the symptoms of these conditions.

In short, PRP works by releasing growth factors contained in platelets, which stimulate tissue repair and regeneration.

This technique has been used successfully in a wide variety of medical and aesthetic treatments, including the treatment of muscle injuries and the improvement of sexual and urinary function in women with vulvar and vaginal dysfunction.
