Quick takeaways
- Applying light therapy to whole blood after drawing it can inhibit platelet activation and prevent clotting, resulting in a purer PRP product.
- Utilizing light therapy alongside PRP can optimize its therapeutic benefits by activating PRP after concentration and stimulating sustained growth factor release.
Deep dives
Introduction to PRP
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentrated solution of platelets, growth factors, signaling molecules, and other plasma proteins that play vital roles in tissue healing and joint stabilization. PRP is obtained by spinning the patient's own blood to separate the platelets and reconstituting them with plasma. It is a safe and natural treatment option that can be used for various soft tissue and joint conditions. PRP injections typically lead to a reduction in pain, followed by gradual improvement in function and strength over a four-week period.
