Understanding PRP

What Is Platelet-Rich Plasma?

Platelet-rich plasma is prepared from a small sample of your own blood. The blood is processed to separate and concentrate the platelet-rich portion, which may then be used to support the body’s natural healing response in a targeted area.

From Your Own Blood

How PRP is prepared

Blood contains plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Platelets are best known for their role in clotting, but they also contain proteins and growth factors involved in the body’s repair processes.

1

Blood is collected

A small blood sample is drawn from the patient, much like a routine blood draw.

2

Platelets are concentrated

The sample is placed in a centrifuge to separate the blood components and prepare the platelet-rich portion.

3

PRP is placed precisely

The prepared PRP is administered to the targeted area. Image guidance may be used when clinically appropriate.

P

Why platelets matter

Platelets contain naturally occurring signaling proteins and growth factors that participate in tissue repair and the body’s response to injury.

+

A personalized approach

The concentration, placement, and recommended care plan may vary based on the patient’s condition, health history, examination, imaging, and individual goals.

Important: PRP is not a guaranteed cure and may not be appropriate for every patient. Results vary, risks exist, and a medical evaluation is necessary before care is recommended.
Supporting Natural Repair

How PRP May Support Healing

PRP is designed to deliver a concentrated portion of the patient’s own platelets to a targeted area. These platelets contain naturally occurring signaling proteins and growth factors that participate in the body’s repair response.

Depending on the condition and the patient’s overall health, PRP may be considered as part of a personalized care plan for certain joint, tendon, ligament, soft tissue, spine, and hair restoration concerns.

PRP works with the patient’s own biology

Because PRP is prepared from the patient’s blood, it offers a personalized approach that may complement rehabilitation, physical therapy, or other regenerative care recommendations.

Tissue Repair Support

Platelets release signaling proteins that are involved in the body’s natural response to tissue stress and injury.

Inflammation Response

PRP may help support a healthier inflammatory response in certain damaged tissues and joints when clinically appropriate.

Mobility and Function

The goal of care may include supporting comfort, mobility, and function in the affected joint or soft tissue area.

Hair Follicle Support

In hair restoration care, PRP may be used to support follicle activity and the health of existing hair in selected patients.

PRP for Hair Restoration

PRP hair restoration uses platelet-rich plasma prepared from the patient’s own blood. The concentrated plasma is placed into targeted areas of the scalp to support follicle activity and the health of existing hair.

1

Uses your own platelets

PRP is prepared from a small sample of your blood during the appointment.

2

Targets thinning areas

The scalp is evaluated so care can focus on areas showing thinning or reduced density.

3

Personalized care planning

Recommendations depend on the pattern, cause, and progression of hair loss.

How It May Help

Supporting follicle health and hair density

Platelets contain naturally occurring growth factors and signaling proteins involved in tissue repair. In selected patients, PRP may help support existing follicles, improve the appearance of hair density, and complement other hair restoration recommendations.

Large-scale, long-term studies are still needed to confirm efficacy and safety for various conditions.

Varied Effectiveness:

Individual responses to stem cell therapy can vary significantly, and success rates are not yet fully established.

Safety Concerns:

As with any medical intervention, there are potential risks, such as infections or adverse reactions, which should be carefully evaluated.
