On the day of your PRP treatment, blood is drawn from your arm and placed in a special centrifuge unit which separates platelets, white blood cells and serum from red blood cells. The platelets and white blood cells are then concentrated and collected into a sterile syringe. Your skin and soft tissue is first anesthetized with local anesthetic followed by the injection of the PRP. Depending on the area(s) being treated, one or more injections may be made.

PRP will deliver and recruit the necessary blood growth factors and your own stem cells to repair these types of tissues at an advanced rate. For example, typically in your bloodstream there are 200,000 platelets per microlitre of blood. When PRP is used, the platelet count can increase to 1,000,000 platelets per microlitre of blood in the area of the injury. This is up to a 5 fold increase in platelets which can accelerate healing.
