What is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a concentrated solution of your own blood platelets. Platelets are tiny blood cells that contain growth factors, which are proteins that help repair and regenerate tissues.   

How it works:

  • Blood Draw: A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm.   

    Processing: The blood is then processed in a centrifuge, which separates the platelets from other blood components. This concentrates the platelets to create a solution rich in growth factors.   

  • Injection: The concentrated PRP is then injected into the targeted area, such as:
    • Skin: To improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and stimulate collagen production.   

      Hair: To treat hair loss and stimulate hair growth.   

    • Joints: To treat osteoarthritis and other joint conditions.

    • Tendons and Ligaments: To accelerate healing after injuries.  

Benefits of PRP:

  • Stimulates Natural Healing: PRP harnesses your body’s own healing mechanisms to promote tissue regeneration. 

    Minimal Risk: Since it uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reactions is minimal.  

  • Versatility: PRP can be used for a variety of conditions, from skin rejuvenation to treating sports injuries. 

Important Note:

  • PRP therapy is not a miracle cure and results may vary depending on the individual and the condition being treated.
  • It’s crucial to have PRP therapy performed by a qualified and experienced healthcare provider.

Treatment step-by-step

Blood Draw

  • A small amount of blood (typically 1-2 tubes) is drawn from your arm using a needle, similar to a routine blood test.

Platelet Isolation

  • The blood is placed in a centrifuge, a specialized machine that spins the blood sample at high speeds.
  • This process separates the blood components: red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
  • The platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is then carefully extracted.

PRP Preparation

  • Depending on the specific PRP treatment protocol, the concentrated platelet solution may be further activated to enhance its growth factor release.

Injection

  • The prepared PRP is then injected into the targeted area using a fine needle.
  • The injection sites and depth will vary depending on the treatment area (e.g., joints, skin, scalp).
  • In some cases, ultrasound guidance may be used to ensure precise injection.

Aftercare

You’ll receive specific instructions on how to care for the treated area:

  • Avoid strenuous activity for a short period.
  • Apply ice packs to the injection site to reduce any discomfort.
  • Monitor for any signs of infection or other complications.
