After a blood sample is obtained from a patient, the blood is placed into a centrifuge, which is a tool that separates the blood into its many components. Platelet-rich plasma can then be collected and injected into the injured area of bone or soft tissue, such as your skin, muscles, tendons or ligaments.
WHAT'S THE PROCESS?
After the injection, the plasma breaks down and releases growth factors which are compounds that help cells repair and renew themselves. This triggers the body’s healing process making PRP regenerative therapy. Using your own cells to treat and repair tissues has become a proven and effective non-invasive treatment option.
WHAT CAN PRP INJECTIONS TREAT?
PRP injections are used to treat torn tendons, tendinitis, muscle injuries, arthritis-related pain, and joint injuries. They’re becoming more common for cosmetic procedures, too.
