Growth factors are proteins produced by the human body to repair tissues. Although these proteins are found in different cells of the body, we use those found in our own blood inside platelets. You have in your cytoplasm granules full of these proteins.
We know that these proteins have the ability to attract cells responsible for tissue repair wherever they are found.
Within the variety of products that can be obtained from plasma, we elaborate what is called plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) and fibrin rich in leukocytes and platelets (LPRF). Treatment with PRP differs in that the concentration of growth factors is lower.
