Acronym

PRP (platelet-rich plasma)

A preparation made from a person's own concentrated blood platelets, used in regenerative and aesthetic procedures.

PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. Blood is drawn, spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, and the resulting plasma is reinjected. It appears in regenerative, orthopaedic, and aesthetic contexts. Because it uses a person's own blood, its regulatory profile differs from donor or manufactured products.
