PRP Therapy: The Natural Way to Heal and Rejuvenate
Regenerative medicine is transforming healthcare, giving patients options to heal and restore their bodies naturally. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is one of the most exciting treatments available, offering a non-surgical approach to repair tissue, reduce pain, and support overall wellness.
We have complied answers to some of the most common questions about PRP so you can make informed decisions about your care.
About PRP
PRP is a concentration of platelets derived from your own blood. Platelets contain growth factors and proteins that promote healing and tissue regeneration. When injected into targeted areas, PRP can support you body’s natural repair processes.
PRP therapy is versatile and can support:
- Joint and tendon injuries: Osteoarthritis, tendonitis, and ligament injuries
- Hair restoration: Stimulates hair growth and thickens thinning areas
- Skin rejuvenation: Improves skin texture, elasticity, and reduces fine lines
How is PRP administered?
First, a small amount of your blood is drawn and processed to isolate the platelet-rich plasma. Then, the PRP is injected into the area being treated—such as a joint, tendon, scalp, or facial tissue—using precise techniques. Many of our injections are performed under ultrasound guidance, ensuring precision and maximum effectiveness. Once administered, the growth factors in PRP encourage tissue repair, collagen production, and improved circulation.
How long does it take to see results?
Healing timelines vary depending on the area treated and the condition. Many patients notice gradual improvements over 4-12 weeks, with some seeing benefits up to 6 months after treatment.
Is PRP safe?
Because PRP uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reactions or complications is very low. Minor side effects can include temporary redness, swelling, or mild discomfort at the injection site.
How many treatments are needed?
Treatment plans vary based on your goals and the condition being treated. Some patients see results after one session, while others may require 2–4 treatments spaced several weeks apart.
Who is a good candidate for PRP?
Most adults and athletes in good health with musculoskeletal, hair, or skin concerns are candidates. Those with certain blood disorders, infections, or chronic illnesses may require evaluation before treatment.
