Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

Harness Your Body's Natural Healing Power

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is an advanced regenerative treatment that utilizes your body's own platelets and growth factors to stimulate healing, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue regeneration. Because PRP is created from your own blood, it is a natural treatment option used to restore function, improve recovery, encourage hair growth, and rejuvenate aging skin.

At Premier Functional Medicine, we utilize advanced PRP technology to provide personalized treatments for joint pain, hair restoration, facial rejuvenation, and soft tissue healing.

Why Consider PRP Therapy?

As we age, our body's ability to repair damaged tissue naturally slows. Injuries, repetitive use, hormonal changes, and aging can contribute to joint pain, hair thinning, and visible signs of aging.

PRP therapy may help improve:

Joint & Musculoskeletal Health

• Arthritis-related joint pain
• Tendon and ligament injuries
• Chronic inflammation
• Sports injuries
• Shoulder, knee, hip, elbow, ankle, and wrist pain
• Trigger points and soft tissue injuries

Hair Restoration

• Male and female pattern hair loss
• Hair thinning
• Early-stage androgenic alopecia
• Hair transplant support

Facial Rejuvenation

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Dull or aging skin
• Uneven skin tone and texture
• Acne scars
• Collagen loss
• Skin laxity

How Does PRP Work?

A small sample of your blood is collected and processed using a specialized centrifuge that separates and concentrates your platelets. These platelets contain powerful growth factors that stimulate your body's natural healing process.

When injected into the treatment area, PRP helps:

• Stimulate collagen production
• Increase blood supply
• Recruit regenerative cells
• Reduce inflammation
• Accelerate tissue repair
• Improve skin quality and elasticity
• Promote healthier, thicker hair growth

Because the treatment uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is extremely low.

What to Expect During Treatment

PRP treatments are performed in our office and typically take 45–60 minutes.

Your visit includes:

1. A small blood draw.
2. Processing your blood to isolate concentrated platelet-rich plasma.
3. Preparation of the treatment area.
4. Precise injection of the PRP into the targeted tissue.

For facial rejuvenation, PRP may be combined with ProCell® Microchanneling or other collagen-stimulating treatments to enhance absorption and improve overall skin rejuvenation.

Most patients tolerate the procedure well. A topical anesthetic may be used for facial treatments to maximize comfort.

Recovery

Recovery is generally minimal.

Depending on the treatment area, patients may experience:

• Mild soreness
• Temporary swelling
• Redness
• Bruising
• Tenderness for several days

Most patients return to normal daily activities within 24 hours, although strenuous exercise involving the treated area may be postponed for several days following joint injections.

Treatment Schedule

Treatment recommendations vary depending on your goals.

Joint Therapy

Many patients experience meaningful improvement after one treatment, although a series of 2–3 treatments may be recommended for chronic injuries or arthritis.

Hair Restoration

A series of 3–4 treatments, spaced approximately 4–6 weeks apart, is commonly recommended, followed by maintenance treatments every 6–12 months.

Facial Rejuvenation

Most patients achieve optimal results with 3 treatments, performed 4–6 weeks apart, followed by periodic maintenance to support continued collagen production.

Results continue to improve over the following months as your body regenerates healthy tissue.
