What is Platelet-Poor Plasma Therapy (PPP)? 🧬
👉 PPP is a component of blood plasma that contains low concentrations of platelets, obtained by centrifugation of a patient's blood.

🙋♂️ Why PPP?
It facilitates recovery in muscle injuries by providing a less inflammatory, more balanced approach to tissue. It's been utilized in clinical studies to promote muscle recovery by harnessing the cytokines and growth factors that are present in the plasma, which can support tissue repair processes such as cell migration, proliferation, and angiogensis.
🙋♀️ What is the process?
The patient's blood is drawn, then Dr. Kanaan uses the centrifuge to separate the plasma, platelets, and red and white blood cells. He concentrates the plasma and injected the PPP into the affected muscle tissue. This process takes between 20-30 minutes.
🙋♂️ What are the benefits?
➡Reduces risk of chronic inflammation
➡Prevention of scar tissue formation
➡Promotes tissue and muscle regeneration and recovery after injury
➡Safety profile is high
➡Scientifically-supported treatment option for pain relief
