About the Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

The process starts with the extraction of a small amount of your own blood that is placed inside specialized test tubes. The specialized tubes are place in a centrifuge that spins very fast to separate out and concentrate the platelet rich plasma packed with growth factors. Not all specialized tubes are created equal. We use RegenLab tubes because with RegenLab technology we obtain the highest concentration of platelets per tube.
