What is Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) Therapy?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a holistic alternative that is fast becoming a mainstream treatment option.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is derived from the patient’s own blood.
PRP therapy is not a form of plastic surgery nor is it a form of hair transplantation. Platelet-rich plasma is the blood that has a higher concentration of platelets than normal.
How does it work?
To make platelet-rich plasma, clinicians take a blood sample from a patient and place it in a centrifuge, which rapidly spins the sample, isolating the platelets from the rest of the blood and concentrating them within the plasma.

- To treat torn tendons, tendinitis.
- Muscle injuries.

Is platelet-rich plasma therapy safe?
PRP Therapy is a low-risk technique that seldom results in serious side effects. Since the treatment involves a blood draw, one should stay hydrated and eat before the procedure to avoid feeling lightheaded.
