PRP Injection Clinic

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is an autologous biological product, meaning it is derived from the patient's own blood.

What Is PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)?

It contains a high concentration of platelets—blood cells rich in growth factors. These growth factors are natural proteins that regulate and enhance tissue healing, cellular regeneration, and inflammation reduction.

The process of obtaining PRP is simple:
1.A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient.
2.The blood is placed in a centrifuge to separate its components.
3.The platelet-rich plasma is collected and injected into the targeted area.

How PRP Works

PRP works by stimulating the body’s own healing mechanisms. The growth factors released by the activated platelets:

  • Activate immune and repair cells (e.g., fibroblasts, macrophages, stem cells).
  • Promote the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis).
  • Enhance the production of collagen and elastin.
  • Stimulate cell regeneration.

In essence, PRP therapy doesn’t introduce anything foreign—it enhances and accelerates the body’s own regenerative capacity.

Applications of PRP

1. Musculoskeletal and Orthopedic Conditions

PRP is widely used in treating:

  • Tendinopathies (e.g., tennis elbow, patellar tendinitis, Achilles tendinitis).
  • Osteoarthritis (particularly of the knee, hip, and shoulder).
  • Muscle injuries, sprains, and ligament tears.
  • Post-surgical tissue healing.

PRP injections can help reduce pain, improve mobility, and in many cases delay or even avoid surgery—especially in early stages of joint degeneration.

2. Aesthetic and Dermatological Use – Facial Rejuvenation

In aesthetic medicine, PRP is popularly known as the “vampire facial” and is used to:

  • Rejuvenate facial skin.
  • Reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars.
  • Improve skin texture, tone, and elasticity.
  • Diminish dark circles and signs of aging.
  • Treat hair loss (alopecia) in both men and women.

PRP boosts collagen and elastin production, offering natural, gradual, and long-lasting facial rejuvenation.

3. Chronic Wound Healing and Pressure Ulcers

PRP therapy is highly effective in treating:

  • Pressure ulcers (particularly in immobile or elderly patients).
  • Diabetic foot ulcers.
  • Non-healing post-surgical wounds.

Its regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties enhance healing, reduce infection risk, and promote tissue reconstruction, significantly improving patient quality of life.

Benefits of PRP Therapy

  • Safe: Uses the patient’s own blood—minimal risk of allergic reactions or rejection.
  • Minimally invasive: No surgery or general anesthesia needed.
  • Little to no downtime.
  • Natural, progressive results.
  • Repeatable treatment with no risk of cumulative toxicity.

PRP represents one of the most promising modern therapeutic tools, bridging regenerative medicine with rehabilitation and aesthetics. It provides safe, natural solutions for functional and cosmetic concerns by harnessing the body’s inherent ability to heal and renew itself.
