Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections involve using a patient's own blood that is processed to concentrate the platelets, which contain growth factors that can stimulate tissue repair and regeneration. The concentrated plasma is then injected into the desired area.
PRP injections have been used to treat a variety of conditions, including hair loss, osteoarthritis, chronic tendonitis, and acute sports injuries.
PRP injections involve drawing a small amount of the patient's blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting the concentrated plasma into the target area. The procedure is usually performed in the office and takes about 30 minutes.
PRP injections are generally considered safe, as the procedure involves using a patient's own blood, reducing the risk of an allergic reaction or transmission of blood-borne diseases. However, as with any medical procedure, there is a small risk of infection, bleeding, and other complications.
After a PRP injection, patients may experience mild swelling, redness, and discomfort at the injection site, which usually resolves within a few days. The full effects of PRP injections may take several weeks to months to become apparent, as the body's natural healing processes are stimulated.
The number of PRP injections needed depends on the specific condition being treated and the patient's individual response to the treatment. Typically, a series of 3-4 injections are performed at intervals of several weeks to several months.
PRP injections use growth factors to stimulate collagen and elastin production for improving skin texture, tone, appearance and treating hair loss.
