Since PRP uses a modified version of your body’s own blood, and nothing more, this treatment option comes with nearly no side effects. At most, since needle injections are necessary for the treatment, you may experience some bruising or swelling. This is not from the injectable solution itself, however, but more-so the act of prodding and breaking apart the skin during the procedure. Rare side effects include scarring from the needling process, infections at open wound sites, or other symptoms. Patients typically return to their normal daily activities immediately after treatment sessions. Before we begin a PRP session on you, we will ask you to come in for an initial consultation. We will examine the condition you want to want to treat, and let you know more about what to expect, or how to prepare. We’ll also ask about your medical history, which will need to be thorough, to ensure you are eligible for this treatment. If you are on blood thinners or anti-inflammatory medication, or have other blood-related health conditions, it’s possible this treatment may not be suitable for you. We encourage you to get in touch, however, since we may be able to help you by using other methods. Please see more on our website.
