Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a medical treatment that uses your body’s natural healing properties to promote recovery and rejuvenation. PRP is widely used for pain relief, tissue repair and skin rejuvenation. Tucson Wellness MD offers professional PRP therapy tailored to your specific needs.
What is PRP?
PRP is a concentrated solution of platelets derived from your blood. Platelets are rich in growth factors that stimulate healing and tissue regeneration. In PRP therapy, a small amount of blood is drawn, processed in a centrifuge to isolate the platelets and then injected into the target area.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is an advanced treatment that utilizes the body’s natural healing processes to repair and rejuvenate tissues. Tucson Wellness MD offers expert PRP treatments designed to address various conditions, including soft tissue injuries, chronic tendon injuries and muscle injuries.
What is Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy?
Platelet-rich plasma therapy uses autologous platelet-rich plasma, which means the treatment is created from your own blood. The process involves drawing a small blood sample, spinning it in a centrifuge to separate the platelets and white blood cells and preparing a concentrated solution. This solution, rich in growth factors, is then delivered through a precise PRP injection into the target area of your body.
The platelets stimulate the repair and regeneration of damaged tissue, while the presence of white blood cells helps combat inflammation and support the healing process.
How Does PRP Treatment Work?
PRP treatments work by focusing your body’s natural ability to heal. The high concentration of platelets in the injected plasma stimulates tissue repair, reduces pain and promotes faster recovery. It’s especially effective if you have soft tissue injuries, muscle injuries or chronic tendon injuries, making it a valuable option for patients seeking non-surgical solutions.
- Autologous and Safe: PRP therapy uses your own blood, reducing the risk of adverse reactions

PRP Is Great For Younger Skin, Too
Do you have wrinkles and facial lines that you want to get rid of without surgery? Well, a platelet rich plasma (PRP) facial may be your answer. The medical procedure increases collagen production and, via micro-needling, it improves skin tone and texture.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) facials became popular with plastic surgery because of their role in wound healing. PRP has a high concentration of platelets, which allows for the formation and release of growth factors and active proteins that promote healing. It is widely used in facial skin rejuvenation.
PRP facials are not cosmetic procedures, but rather medical procedures. The person doing the procedure takes a sample of your blood and isolates the protein-rich plasma and platelets to create the PRP.
A centrifuge is spun around to extract protein-rich plasma and remove the platelets. The sample is then concentrated and called platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The high levels of growth factors in the PRP help your body to heal. PRP can increase the dermal elasticity, hyaluronic acid synthesis and collagen production, leading to smooth and tighter skin.
