Contains platelets, within which there are many factors stimulating cell growth and division such as glycogen, lysosomes, and alpha granules, and these granules specifically carry blood clotting factors and growth factors that are secreted at the end of the healing or repair process in organs or tissues or the so-called wound healing process.
Plasma is used in many medical fields such as orthopedic, heart, oral, or neurosurgery treatments, and it has recently been used in the field of aesthetic medicine, including the treatment of hair loss.
