Quick answer

PRP therapy draws a small blood sample from the patient, spins it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, and re-injects that concentrate at the treatment site to support the body's natural repair signaling. It uses the patient's own blood, so rejection risk is minimal, and it is not a stem cell therapy in itself.

What PRP Therapy Involves

The short answer, before the detail below.

What Is Platelet Rich Plasma and How Does It Complement Regenerative Cell Therapies? Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a highly concentrated preparation of growth factors that come from the patient's own blood. The application of PRP is experimental and aimed at promoting tissue repair, minimizing inflammation, and possibly improving the grafting environment for stem cells. PRP is an autologous modality, which means it is safe and easy to tolerate.

Also acknowledged as blood injection therapy, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a medical treatment being used for a wide range of musculoskeletal issues. Platelet rich plasma injections refer to a sample of blood plasma that has as much as four times the normal quantity of platelets. This treatment augments the body's natural ability to heal itself and is used to improve healing and reduce recovery time for acute and chronic soft tissue injuries. Besides clotting factors, the platelets release growth factors that help begin the healing sequence. With a concentrated quantity of platelets, bigger amounts of these growth factors are released to stimulate a natural healing reaction.

One notable benefit of PRP injections is that they don't have the side-effects that can come with steroid injections or long-term use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

Am I a Good Candidate for PRP?

Topic 02 of 2

Common applications discussed during a case evaluation.

  • Both acute pain and chronic pain
  • Persistent pain despite standard non-operative treatment such as activity modification, physical therapy, and NSAIDs
  • Pathological changes seen on diagnostic imaging
  • Patient desires to pursue an alternative to surgical treatment
  • Tendonopathies, strains and sprains

Conditions Treated by Platelet Rich Plasma:

  • Orthopedic and Sports Injuries (Joints, Tendons, Ligaments): individuals with joint inflammation, ligament sprains, or tendon damage usually seek alternatives to surgery to heal, including knee pain, shoulder trauma, and recurrent tendon issues.
  • Hair Loss (Androgenic Alopecia): hair growth options target stimulation of the hair follicles to promote natural hair growth.
  • Skin Issues (Wrinkles, Scars, Acne Marks): applied to enhance skin texture, smooth fine lines, and reduce scars.
  • Other Potential Applications: research extends into dental healing, sexual well-being, wound healing, eye health, and other areas.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

PRP therapy uses a concentrated portion of a patient's own blood, rich in platelets and growth factors, injected at a treatment site to support the body's natural repair processes. It is prepared from the patient's own blood, so there is minimal rejection risk. See our treatment protocol overview for how it fits into broader care plans.

No. PRP concentrates platelets and growth factors from blood; stem cell therapy uses cells capable of developing into other cell types, typically sourced from bone marrow, fat tissue, or cord tissue. The two are prepared differently and are sometimes used together in the same care plan.

A blood sample is drawn from the patient and spun in a centrifuge, which separates the platelet-rich layer from red blood cells and other components. That concentrated layer is then used for injection.

Most sessions, from blood draw to injection, are completed within 60–90 minutes as a single outpatient visit.

PRP is most commonly discussed for joint, tendon, and soft-tissue conditions, sometimes alongside orthopedic or regenerative care plans. Suitability depends on the individual case.

This depends on the condition being treated and the response observed. The clinical team outlines an expected plan after evaluation, though it may be adjusted based on progress.

Yes, in some care plans PRP is used alongside stem cell treatment as part of a combined protocol. Whether this applies to a specific case is determined during the free medical evaluation.

The injection is done under local anesthesia, so discomfort is generally limited to the needle stick and brief pressure at the injection site.

Because PRP uses the patient's own blood, the main risks are similar to those of any injection — soreness, minor bruising, or infection at the injection site if sterile protocol isn't followed, which is why preparation happens under controlled clinical conditions.

No. PRP supports the body's repair signaling, but individual outcomes vary and are not guaranteed. See our safety and guarantees page for details.

It can be. Exosome Therapy for Retinal Detachment is a separate regenerative option some patients consider alongside PRP therapy when managing vision loss from a detached retina, coordinated by the clinical team rather than self-directed.
