The platelet-rich plasma contains growth factors secreted by platelets. These growth factors stimulate tissue recovery by enhancing tendon stem cell proliferation, increasing collagen production, and motivating gene and protein expression.
Growth factors also stimulate blood flow, causing cartilage to become more resilient and firm. In addition, PRP activates tenocytes, which are cells that produce collagen. The collagen then repairs ligaments, tendons, muscle, and cartilage. |
