Overview
PRP therapy involves drawing a small amount of the patient's blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and injecting the platelet-rich plasma into the target area. Platelets contain growth factors that may promote tissue repair and reduce inflammation.
How It Works
- 1 A small blood sample is drawn from the patient
- 2 The blood is placed in a centrifuge to separate components
- 3 The concentrated platelet-rich plasma is extracted
- 4 PRP is injected into the treatment area under imaging guidance
- 5 Growth factors work to promote healing over 4-6 weeks
