• A small amount of blood is drained from the patient’s arm and placed in a centrifuge, a machine that spins the blood to separate its components.
• The platelet-rich plasma is extracted from the blood and activated with a special solution to release the growth factors.
• The PRP is injected into the target area, such as an injured knee or a scalp, using fine needles. The injection may be guided by ultrasound or other imaging techniques to ensure accuracy.
• The PRP injections stimulate the dormant or damaged tissues to enter an active growth phase, resulting in increased healing, reduced pain, and improved function.
• PRP therapy is considered a safe and effective method for treating various problems, as it uses the patient’s own blood, which reduces the risk of infection, allergic reaction, or rejection.

It is important to consult with a qualified and experienced doctor before undergoing PRP therapy.

The question of whether PRP therapy is painful or not may depend on several factors, such as the area of the body being treated, the patient's sensitivity, and the provider's technique. PRP injections are not usually painful, but they may cause some discomfort during or after the procedure. This discomfort may be managed by using a local anesthetic, applying ice, or taking painkillers. The pain also depends on the type and the quality of PRP used. Most patients who undergo PRP therapy report that the pain is temporary and that it is outweighed by the benefits of the treatment. These complications are rare and can be avoided by choosing a qualified and experienced doctor who follows proper precautions.
