Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
A biologic treatment approach using concentrated components of your own blood to support the body’s natural repair processes.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
WHAT IS PRP THERAPY?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is an autologous biologic therapy, meaning it is derived from your own blood.
During a brief in-office procedure, a small blood sample is collected and processed using controlled centrifugation to concentrate platelets and plasma proteins. The resulting preparation is then applied or injected into the targeted treatment area.
Because PRP is derived from your own blood, it provides a biologically based treatment approach without introducing a donor-derived substance. PRP is used to support the local healing environment rather than simply masking discomfort.
Because PRP uses your own blood components, risks related to allergic reaction or disease transmission are generally low when appropriate standards are followed. Some patients experience temporary soreness or mild swelling at the treatment site. PRP is not appropriate for every condition or every patient — those with active infection, certain blood disorders, or specific medical conditions require individualized evaluation before treatment.
HOW PRP SUPPORTS THE BODY’S REPAIR PROCESS

INFLAMMATORY PHASE
PROLIFERATIVE PHASE
