Due to the fact that the Platelet Rich Plasma procedure involves using your own platelets, you should not experience any negative effects. The side effects are rare but still possible. These can include pain, redness, and irritation at the injection site. There is almost no PRP recovery period. Almost immediately after the treatment, you will be able to get back to your normal activities. The whole procedure, which involves blood-drawing and the injection itself, lasts around half an hour.
