PRP Injections
PRP Injections
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections use a patient’s blood, processed to concentrate platelets and growth factors, to promote natural healing and tissue regeneration.
Benefits
- Natural Healing: Uses the body’s own resources, reducing the risk of adverse reactions.
- Improved Collagen Production: Ideal for skin rejuvenation, acne scars, and fine lines.
- Enhanced Healing: Common in sports medicine, helping to accelerate recovery in injured muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
- Increased Hair Growth: Effective in slowing hair loss and encouraging growth in those with androgenic alopecia.
Who Can Benefit?
- Aesthetic Patients: Those looking to rejuvenate skin, reduce wrinkles, treat acne scars, or restore youthful skin tone.
- Athletes: Individuals needing faster recovery for muscle strains, ligament injuries, or tendinitis.
- Hair Restoration: Patients with thinning hair or pattern baldness.
- Joint Pain and Osteoarthritis: PRP can help reduce pain and improve joint functionality in arthritis patients.
Frequently Asked Questions
A numbing cream is typically applied, making discomfort minimal. Some may feel mild pressure or a pinching sensation.
Initial effects may be visible after a few weeks, with full results becoming apparent over
several months as collagen builds and tissues repair.
Results can last 6–12 months in aesthetic treatments, while joint or tendon treatments
may offer relief for an extended period based on individual healing rates.
Side effects are minimal but can include mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the
injection site. Serious risks are rare due to the autologous nature of PRP.
Those with certain blood disorders, active infections, or severe anemia, and pregnant
individuals, may be advised against PRP.
