PRP and PRFM: how to benefit and avoid disaster

In this conversation, Dr. Kate Dee and Dr. Judy Rubin discuss the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for facial rejuvenation, hair loss, sexual function and other medical conditions. They explain that PRP is derived from the patient's own blood and contains growth factors that promote healing and collagen synthesis. They also discuss the importance of maintaining sterility and proper training when performing PRP procedures, and cases of HIV and blindness when untrained people practice this form of medicine. Overall, PRP is considered a safe and effective treatment option when performed by qualified medical professionals.
