PRP FAQ

Below are some of the most common questions about PRP therapy.

What is PRP therapy?

Platelet RIch Plasma (PRP) therapy is a type of treatment where the patient’s own blood cells are injected into the area of the body that’s being treated. The blood cells used are high in proteins and platelet, which aids in recovery and growth.

What can PRP therapy be used for?

PRP therapy can be used to treat a number of injuries as well as being used increasingly for hair loss.

Is it painful?

PRP therapy is done under local anaesthetic so there shouldn’t be too much pain or discomfort. If the patient prefers, then it is possible to do PRP therapy under general anaesthetic.

Are there any risks?

The risks with PRP therapy are almost non-existent. This is because there are no foreign substances being injected; only the patient’s own blood. Infections are extremely rare.

How long does treatment take?

Treatment sessions typically take between 60-90 minutes to complete.
