Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Treatment involves the use of a patient's own blood components to stimulate healing in injured tissues. PRP is concentrated blood plasma that contains approximately three to five times the number of platelets found in normal circulating blood. Additionally, it includes growth factors and cytokines that enhance the body's inherent ability to repair tissues.
The process for PRP Treatment at Harbor Medical Clinic and Wellness Center involves several steps:
1. Blood Collection: A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient.
2. Centrifugation: The blood is then placed in a centrifuge, where it is spun to separate the platelets from other blood components.
3. Extraction and Activation: The concentrated platelet-rich plasma is extracted and may be activated with calcium chloride or thrombin to release growth factors.
4. Injection: The activated PRP is injected directly into the injured area, releasing growth factors that recruit and increase the proliferation of reparative cells.
PRP Treatment is used to manage and treat various conditions, including:
- Osteoarthritis
- Tendonitis
- Ligament sprains
- Muscle injuries
- Joint pain and instability
- Post-surgical healing
- Aesthetic enhancements such as hair loss treatment and skin rejuvenation
Patients who undergo PRP Treatment at Harbor Medical Clinic and Wellness Center can experience numerous benefits:
- Enhanced Healing: Accelerates the regeneration of injured tissues.
- Reduced Pain and Inflammation: Alleviates pain and reduces inflammation at the injury site.
- Minimal Downtime: As a minimally invasive procedure, PRP Treatment requires little to no downtime.
- Lower Risk of Allergic Reactions: Since PRP is made from the patient's own blood, the risk of an allergic reaction is significantly reduced.
During your initial consultation, our specialists will evaluate your condition and discuss whether PRP Treatment is the right option for you. If you proceed with treatment, the entire process, from blood draw to injection, typically takes about an hour. Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the injection, and side effects are generally mild, including temporary swelling and soreness at the injection site.
