In recent years, athletes, celebrities, and beauty influencers have come to see the rejuvenating effects of orthopedic injection of PRP. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a naturally occurring part of everyone’s body and can be used for cosmetic purposes, as well as to speed up the body’s healing process.
In this treatment, we draw a small amount of blood and spin it out in a centrifuge to separate PRP from blood cells. At PRACTICE, we can then inject your PRP into desired areas of the body. It has proven this method can dramatically increase a patient’s speed of recovery from injury and pain. Because this treatment is natural, there is little to no possibility for side effects to occur, making this treatment safe for most everyone.
