What is platelet-rich plasma (PRP)?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a treatment that utilizes your blood to promote healing and tissue regeneration. It involves isolating and concentrating platelets, which are rich in growth factors and other bioactive proteins, and injecting them into targeted areas to stimulate natural healing processes.

What issues can PRP address?

PRP can address various issues:

PRP injections are used to treat musculoskeletal injuries, such as tendonitis, ligament sprains, and osteoarthritis, promoting tissue repair and reducing pain and inflammation.

How does PRP work?

PRP works by harnessing the regenerative properties of platelets and growth factors present in your blood. During your procedure, your provider withdraws a small amount of blood, typically from a vein in your arm, and processes it to separate the platelets from your other blood components.

Next, they inject the concentrated platelet-rich plasma into the target area (or smooth it over an area treated with microneedling, for example), where it releases growth factors that stimulate cell proliferation, collagen production, and tissue repair.

Why has PRP become so popular?

PRP has gained popularity for several reasons:

Nonsurgical

PRP treatments are minimally invasive and typically don’t require surgery, making them attractive options if you’re seeking natural and less risky alternatives to traditional procedures.

Low risk

PRP utilizes your own blood, which reduces the risk of allergic reactions or rejection and increases safety and compatibility.

Natural healing

By harnessing your body's natural healing processes, PRP promotes tissue regeneration and repair, resulting in natural-looking and long-lasting results.

Minimal downtime

PRP treatments usually involve minimal downtime and discomfort, allowing you to resume normal activities shortly after your procedure.
