What Is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy?

PRP injection treatment uses platelet-rich plasma prepared from the patient’s own blood. The preparation contains platelets and plasma proteins involved in normal tissue signaling and repair. PRP has been studied for selected conditions such as androgenetic alopecia, knee osteoarthritis, and certain tendon problems, as well as some aesthetic applications. It should not be described as a universal treatment for pain, injury, or tissue regeneration.

How PRP Is Prepared

After consultation, a blood sample is collected and processed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate platelets within plasma. The final composition varies by preparation system and protocol. The prepared PRP is then administered according to the treatment area and clinical plan.

Evidence, Benefits & Limitations of PRP

PRP is autologous, meaning it is prepared from the patient’s own blood. Potential benefits depend on the condition being treated. Research supports possible benefit for selected indications, while evidence is limited or mixed for others. Temporary soreness, swelling, bruising, bleeding, or irritation can occur after treatment, and injection-related complications are possible.
