PRP Injection
PRP Injection
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injection is a minimally invasive treatment that uses a patient’s own blood to promote healing in injured or damaged tissues. Blood is drawn, processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, and then injected into the affected area, such as joints, tendons, or scalp.
PRP releases growth factors that stimulate tissue repair and reduce inflammation. It is commonly used for arthritis, sports injuries, tendonitis, and hair loss. The procedure takes about 30–60 minutes with minimal downtime. Patients may experience mild soreness post-injection, with gradual improvement over several weeks. Multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal results.
