PRP treatments

What does this treatment involve?

PRP means platelet-rich plasma prepared from a person’s own blood. Facial, scalp and joint applications address different concerns; findings for one use do not establish identical results for all other applications.

PRP treatments

What should you discuss before treatment?

Discuss the intended concern, preparation method and evidence supporting treatment. The type of hair loss, skin expectations or joint symptoms each require a separate assessment.

PRP Knee

Platelet-rich plasma prepared from the person’s own blood is injected into the knee. It may be considered for pain and limited movement in selected cases of knee osteoarthritis.
