Derma Correct Canada PRP gained it's popularity as a sports medicine treatment for sports related injuries. For example, an athlete could have very little cartilage left in the
knee, causing grinding, popping and pain. The Physician, usually in the office, injects the athlete's own PRP into the areas determined via ultrasound to be thinning. Over a
period of weeks, the PRP creates an inflammatory response (swelling, pain); causes the body to call in it's OWN stem cell army to fix (grow) the cartilage. Four to six weeks
later, the athlete is running sans pain on the knee with brand new cartilage.
