Johns Hopkins Medicine on PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)

PRP is widely used for sports injuries to hair loss. The treatment uses a patient’s own blood cells to speed up the healing.

What is platelet-rich plasma?

Clinicians take a blood sample from the patient and place it into a device, called a centrifuge, which rapidly spins the sample, separating the other components of the blood from the platelets, and concentrating them within the plasma.
Platelets are well-known for their clotting abilities, but they also contain growth factors that can trigger cell reproduction and stimulate tissue regeneration or healing in the treated area.

What is the PRP Healing Mechanism?

The mechanism behind PRP injections is not completely understood. Studies show that the increased concentration of growth factors in platelet-rich plasma may stimulate or speed up the healing process, shortening healing time for injuries, decreasing pain, and even encouraging hair growth.

What is PRP treatment used for?

  1. Tendon, Ligament, Muscle, and Joint Injuries/Sports Injuries: PRP injections may be able to treat a range of musculoskeletal injuries and conditions. For example, chronic tendon injuries such as tennis elbow or jumper’s knee can often take a long time to heal, so adding PRP shots to a treatment regimen can help to stimulate the healing process, decrease pain, and enable a sooner return to activities.
  2. Post-surgical Healing: Post-surgical PRP injections have expanded to help heal muscles, tendons, and ligaments, as procedures on these tissues have notoriously long recovery times.
  3. Osteoarthritis: Early studies indicate that PRP injections may help treat osteoarthritis pain and stiffness by modulating the joint environment and reducing inflammation, but research is growing.
  4. Hair Loss: PRP injections can be effective in treating male pattern baldness, both in preventing hair loss and promoting new hair growth. PRP can also aid in the stimulation of hair growth after hair transplants.
  5. Skin Rejuvenation: PRP injections are sometimes used as an anti-aging treatment, but there is little evidence to show that PRP reduces wrinkles and other signs of aging.
  6. Men’s Shot: PRP injection in the male organ helps improve basculation and helps to make the organ firmer and larger.

PRP Therapy Risks and Side Effects

A PRP injection is a low-risk procedure and does not usually cause major side effects. The procedure involves a blood draw, so you should make sure you are very hydrated and have eaten before receiving the procedure. Less common risks of PRP injections include:

  • Bleeding, tissue damage, infection, nerve injuries

If you are considering PRP injections, be sure to talk with your healthcare provider about all the benefits and risks.

* The equipment used to produce PRP and the injections themselves have been cleared by the FDA. Since PRP is a substance derived from one’s own blood, it is not considered a drug. FDA clearance means that doctors can prescribe and administer PRP if they believe it’s in the best interest of the patient.
