PRP · Your own platelets, injected back — what is established
Widely used in orthopaedics and aesthetics; evidence varies by use.
Revisado médicamente por Bernard Garcia, MD
Qué es
Platelet-rich plasma is prepared from a patient's own blood and injected into tissue — joints, tendons, scalp or skin. It is regulated as a minimally manipulated autologous product; no specific PRP treatment carries an FDA approval for an indication, and evidence quality ranges from reasonable (knee osteoarthritis, some tendinopathies) to weak (hair, skin).
Cómo funciona
Platelets release growth factors that may influence repair signalling. Preparations differ enormously between clinics, which makes studies hard to compare.

¿Es legal?
PRP is lawfully used as an autologous, minimally manipulated product in clinics. Claims are not FDA-reviewed. This is a general note, not legal advice.
