    Plasma, the liquid component of blood, is rich in water and proteins and plays a crucial role in circulating blood cells and platelets. It contains antibiotics that enhance immunity against viruses. When injected into the scalp, plasma rejuvenates cells and stimulates collagen and protein production, contributing to skin vitality. Plasma injections, particularly platelet-rich plasma (PRP), are beneficial in treating tissue ruptures like knee ligament tears and improving wound healing across various medical fields, including orthopedic surgery, dermatology, ophthalmology, gynecology, and plastic surgery.
