Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses a patient’s own blood to promote healing in damaged tissues, tendons, joints, or skin. The procedure begins with drawing a small sample of the patient’s blood, which is then placed in a centrifuge to separate its components. This process concentrates the platelets—cells rich in growth factors responsible for tissue repair and regeneration—into a layer of plasma. The resulting platelet-rich plasma is then carefully injected into the targeted area under sterile conditions, often guided by ultrasound for precision.
Once injected, the PRP releases growth factors that stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, encouraging new cell growth, improved circulation, and reduced inflammation. PRP is commonly used for conditions such as tendon injuries, osteoarthritis, and muscle strains, and has also gained popularity in cosmetic medicine for skin rejuvenation and hair restoration. Because it uses the patient’s own biological material, the risk of allergic reactions or complications is minimal. While results vary, many patients experience gradual improvement in pain, mobility, and tissue function over several weeks following treatment.
