Platelet-Poor Plasma
-
The fraction (portion) of blood containing plasma, proteins, unique growth factors and bioactive molecules
-
Once thought of as a waste product when making Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
-
Now recognized as beneficial biologic product for its unique role in the treatment of certain musculoskeletal injuries
Why Platelet-Poor Plasma (PPP) for muscle injuries instead of PRP?
-
We are proud to offer Platelet-Poor Plasma (PPP) therapy, a revolutionary treatment that has an important role in inflammation, remodeling and muscle tissue healing
-
After intramuscular administration into the damaged area, PPP has been shown to reduce pain, and accelerate recovery and let you get back to the things you love doing as quickly as you can
-
Despite its widespread benefits in other areas, when injected into injured muscles, Platelet-Rich Plasma often leads to increased fibrosis and scarring
-
Unlike PRP, Platelet Poor Plasma activates a unique pathway in healing muscles, encouraging the growth of functional, contractile muscle tissue, without increasing the risk of re-injury
Inside damaged muscle tissue,
Platelet-Poor Plasma (PPP):
-
Induces myoblast (immature muscle) cells into the muscle differentiation pathway (instead of proliferation pathway)
-
The differentiation pathway is the key to the body forming new muscle tissue
-
Promotes muscle healing and repair similar to native muscle architecture
