Procedure Overview
Your PRP journey
During your initial consultation, our PRP Doctor will conduct a detailed assessment to understand your treatment goals and medical history. This ensures the suitability of PRP therapy for your specific condition.
The procedure begins with a small blood sample, similar to a routine blood test. The blood is then placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components.
The separated plasma, now highly concentrated with platelets and growth factors, is prepared for injection. This plasma is rich in healing properties that promote cell regeneration and tissue repair.
Using fine needles, the PRP Nurse administers the PRP solution into the targeted areas. The injections are meticulously placed to ensure optimal results. The procedure is minimally invasive, and discomfort is usually minimal.
You may experience mild redness or swelling at the injection site, which typically resolves within a few days. Most patients can resume normal activities immediately after the procedure.
A follow-up appointment will be scheduled to monitor your progress and ensure you are satisfied with the results. Depending on your condition and treatment goals, a series of sessions may be recommended for best outcomes.
