PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
HALLANDALE BEACH, FL
What is PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a treatment that uses a concentration of a patient’s own platelets to accelerate healing in various areas of the body. This therapy involves drawing a small amount of blood, processing it in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from other blood components, and then injecting the concentrated platelets into the target area. PRP is used for a variety of medical and cosmetic applications, including treating injuries, promoting hair growth, and enhancing skin rejuvenation.
Medically, PRP can help heal tendon, ligament, muscle, and joint injuries by stimulating the body’s natural healing processes. It is also used post-surgery to expedite recovery. Cosmetically, PRP is used to treat hair loss and improve skin texture and tone, often referred to as the “vampire facial” when combined with microneedling​.
Results
Results from PRP therapy vary based on the treatment area. For joint and tendon injuries, patients may notice a reduction in pain and improved function within weeks, with continued improvement over several months. For hair growth, results can take several months to become noticeable, with the best outcomes often seen after a series of treatments. For skin rejuvenation, improvements in texture and tone can be seen within a few weeks​.

Procedure
At our clinic in Hallandale Beach, PRP therapy is performed by experienced professionals. The procedure typically takes about 30 minutes. Blood is drawn from the patient and then placed in a centrifuge to isolate the platelets. The platelet-rich plasma is then injected into the targeted area, such as an injured joint or the scalp for hair growth. Local anesthesia may be used to minimize discomfort during the injections​.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is PRP therapy painful?
The discomfort experienced during PRP therapy is usually minimal. The injections may cause a mild pinching sensation or slight discomfort, similar to receiving any other injection. Topical numbing creams can be applied before the procedure to minimize any potential discomfort.
How long does a PRP therapy session take?
The duration of a PRP therapy session varies depending on the treatment area and the specific procedure being performed. Generally, the entire process, including blood collection, centrifugation, and injection, can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.
Are there any side effects or downtime?
Most patients experience minimal side effects after PRP therapy, such as mild swelling, bruising, and redness at the injection site. These effects typically subside within a few days. Since PRP uses the patient’s own blood, the risk of allergic reactions or adverse effects is minimal.
When can I expect to see results from PRP therapy?
Results from PRP therapy are not immediate and develop gradually as the body’s natural healing and regenerative processes take place. Depending on the treatment area and the individual’s response, noticeable improvements may become apparent over the course of several weeks to months.
How long do the effects of PRP therapy last?
The duration of results can vary based on the specific condition being treated and individual factors. For aesthetic applications like facial rejuvenation or hair restoration, results may last several months to over a year. Maintenance sessions may be recommended to prolong the effects.
Can anyone undergo PRP therapy?
PRP therapy is generally safe and well-tolerated, but it may not be suitable for everyone. Individuals with certain medical conditions, bleeding disorders, or those on specific medications may not be ideal candidates. A thorough medical evaluation and consultation with a healthcare provider are necessary to determine eligibility.
