What is platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentrated preparation created from your own blood. Blood contains several components, including red and white blood cells, plasma, and platelets.

Platelets are best known for helping blood clot, but they also contain growth factors that play an important role in the body’s natural healing response. PRP therapy concentrates these platelets and delivers them to targeted areas to support tissue repair and rejuvenation.

How is platelet-rich plasma prepared?

PRP treatment begins with a simple blood draw. Dr. Nikravan and his team place the blood into a centrifuge, which spins at high speed to separate it into different components.

The team then isolates plasma containing a concentrated number of platelets and prepares it for treatment. Depending on your needs, Dr. Nikravan injects the PRP directly into the targeted area. For certain musculoskeletal concerns, he may use ultrasound guidance for precise placement.

How does PRP support tissue repair and rejuvenation?

When tissue is injured, platelets naturally travel to the affected area and release growth factors that help coordinate healing. PRP is designed to concentrate these platelets and growth factors where they’re needed. These growth factors are involved in processes such as cellular communication, collagen production, blood vessel formation, and tissue remodeling. By supporting these natural processes, PRP may encourage the repair and renewal of damaged or aging tissue.Results typically develop gradually as the body responds to treatment.

What are the benefits of PRP therapy?

Because PRP comes from your own blood, it offers a regenerative approach that works with your body’s natural healing mechanisms. Depending on the treatment area, PRP may help support tissue healing and function, promote collagen production, or encourage healthier-looking skin or hair.

PRP is also minimally invasive and generally involves less recovery time than surgery. Individual results vary, and some patients may benefit from multiple treatments.

Is PRP therapy safe?

PRP is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified medical professional. Because it uses your own blood, the risk of an allergic reaction to the PRP itself is low. Temporary soreness, swelling, bruising, or redness may occur after treatment.
