Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

What Is PRP?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses the healing properties found in your own blood to support tissue repair and recovery. A small sample of blood is drawn and processed to concentrate the platelets, which contain growth factors that play an important role in the body's natural healing process. The concentrated PRP is then injected into the targeted area.

Benefits of PRP

PRP therapy may help:

• Support the body's natural healing response
• Reduce pain and inflammation
• Improve tissue repair and recovery
• Enhance joint, tendon, and ligament health
• Promote healthier skin and hair in appropriate aesthetic treatments
• Provide a minimally invasive treatment option using your body's own cells

Conditions Commonly Treated

PRP may be recommended for a variety of conditions, including:

• Joint pain and osteoarthritis
• Tendon injuries, such as tennis elbow and Achilles tendinopathy
• Ligament sprains
• Muscle injuries
• Plantar fasciitis
• Hair thinning and certain types of hair loss
• Skin rejuvenation and improvement in skin texture

Treatment recommendations are individualized based on each patient's condition, goals, and medical history.

What to Expect

Your PRP appointment typically includes:

1. A consultation and evaluation.
2. A small blood draw.
3. Processing the blood to separate and concentrate the platelets.
4. Injection of the PRP into the treatment area.
5. Post-treatment instructions and follow-up recommendations.

The procedure is generally completed in about 30 to 60 minutes, and most patients can return to their normal daily activities shortly afterward, depending on the treatment area.
