Procedure:
Blood is drawn from your arm and placed in a special processing unit which separates platelets, white blood cells and serum from red blood cells. The platelets and white blood cells are then placed in a sterile syringe. The skin is then anesthetized with a local anesthetic. This is followed by injection of both the PRP and activator into the tissue targeted for treatment.
Depending on your condition, one to three PRP injections are needed. In general acute problems usually require one treatment. Chronic problems require two or three treatments.
Safety:
PRP treatments are extremely safe , with minimal risk of any adverse reactions or complications. Since PRP is produced from your own blood, there is no concern for rejection or disease transmission.
