What is PRP therapy?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is an innovative treatment method that harnesses the body’s natural healing capabilities to address injured and damaged tissues. This advanced therapy involves the use of plasma that is enriched with a higher concentration of platelets, components of the blood crucial for healing. Blood consists of plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Upon sustaining an injury, platelets rush to the site to stop bleeding while simultaneously activating special proteins and growth factors that promote healing. By delivering a concentrated dose of platelets directly to injured or diseased tissues, PRP therapy aims to significantly accelerate the healing process.

What does PRP therapy treat?

At Interventional Pain Specialists of Wisconsin, SC, the skilled team utilizes PRP therapy in various fields, including orthobiologics and aesthetic services. Specifically, PRP therapy is effective for:

Sports medicine

Many individuals experience sports-related injuries that require effective treatment. PRP therapy may be recommended to support and expedite the healing of various sports injuries, helping athletes return to their activities faster.

Joint pain

Whether resulting from an acute injury, overuse, or chronic conditions like arthritis, joint pain can be debilitating. PRP therapy is employed to ease pain in areas such as the knees, shoulders, hips, elbows, and ankles, promoting improved mobility and comfort.

Anti-aging

In the realm of aesthetics, PRP therapy is used to rejuvenate the skin's appearance. By injecting PRP into the skin or utilizing microneedling techniques, it stimulates collagen production, enhancing the skin's natural strength and elasticity for a youthful look.

Hair loss

PRP therapy has also shown promising results in treating hair loss. By injecting PRP directly into balding areas of the scalp, it stimulates dormant hair follicles, prolongs the hair growth phase, and improves hair thickness.

What can you expect during PRP therapy?

The specifics of PRP therapy at Interventional Pain Specialists of Wisconsin, SC, will vary based on the treatment’s purpose. Each patient will receive a detailed consultation to clarify expected outcomes and address any concerns. The procedure typically involves preparing the PRP, sanitizing the treatment area, and carefully injecting the plasma and platelets into the designated site. For optimal results, a series of injections may be recommended.
