Learn what PRP therapy is, how it works, the conditions it treats, and whether it’s right for you below.
Understanding the Science Behind PRP
What is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentrated form of your own blood plasma that contains a high number of platelets and growth factors, the body’s natural healing agents. When injected into damaged tissue, PRP triggers a powerful cellular repair response, accelerating recovery and promoting regeneration in muscles, joints, skin, and hair follicles.
Step-by-Step Overview
How PRP works.
- A small sample of your blood is drawn.
- It’s spun in a centrifuge to isolate platelets and plasma.
- The concentrated PRP is carefully injected into targeted areas using ultrasound-guided precision.
This process jumpstarts your body’s natural repair systems, helping to restore tissue health, improve function, and reduce chronic inflammation.
Common Uses of Platelet-Rich Plasma
Conditions treated with PRP injections.
PRP therapy is used to support healing in many chronic and age-related conditions, including:
- Osteoarthritis and joint pain (knees, shoulders, elbows, wrist, foot, ankle)
- Tendon and ligament injuries
- Muscle tears and sports injuries
- Hair thinning and hair loss (male and female pattern)
- Skin rejuvenation and scar reduction
- Sexual dysfunction (Erectile Dysfunction, Vaginal Atrophy)
- Post-surgical healing enhancement

Is PRP safe for everyone?
Risks and considerations.
PRP injections are generally safe and well-tolerated, as they use your own plasma, minimizing allergic or immune reactions.
Temporary redness, mild swelling, or soreness at the injection site may occur but typically resolve quickly.
Patients with certain medical conditions or on blood-thinning medications may need special consideration.
