How PRP Works
If you are interested in getting PRP treatment, you will first need to locate a clinic who offers it. During your first appointment, you will talk about any symptoms you are feeling, as well as your reasons for wanting platelet-rich plasma therapy in Silver Spring, MD. Your PRP doctor will help you to understand whether this treatment is right for you. If it is, the next step (at your appointment or a second one) will be similar to the following:
- Your blood is drawn from the arm.
- The blood is placed into a centrifuge and separated into 3 parts. One of these parts is very rich in plasma.
- Once the plasma has been separated, it is placed into a syringe and injected into the site of treatment.
The needle used for the PRP therapy is small meaning the pain will be minimal. Following the therapy, you might experience bruising at the site of injection. Your doctor may recommend taking an over the counter pain reliever to ease the discomfort. Some risks of PRP include:
- Swelling
- Mild pain
- Redness at the site of injection
- Bruising
- In rare instances, infection
These side effects may be present for 2 to 5 days. If you have any concerns about them, or notice an increase in pain, fever, or a warm sensation at or near the injection site, you should call our clinic. If you have a blood or autoimmune disorder, a chronic illness, or are pregnant, please discuss this with the doctor.
