PRP Therapy

What Is PRP Therapy?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy uses your own blood to create a concentrated source of growth factors and healing signaling molecules. These factors are injected directly into damaged tissues, triggering your body's own regenerative response.

How It Works

• A small amount of your blood is drawn
• The blood is centrifuged to concentrate platelets (3-5x concentration)
• The platelet-rich plasma is carefully injected into the damaged tissue
• Platelets release growth factors and signaling proteins
• These factors recruit stem cells and initiate tissue regeneration
• Healing progresses naturally over 6-12 weeks

Conditions We Address

What to Expect During Treatment

• Blood draw takes 5-10 minutes
• Centrifugation and preparation takes 15-20 minutes
• Injection into the target tissue (guided by ultrasound for accuracy)
• Minimal discomfort during injection
• Some soreness for 24-48 hours after injection (normal healing response)
• Benefits typically appear within 4-6 weeks and continue for 3-6 months
• Usually 1-3 injections depending on the condition

How PRP Fits Into Almacura

PRP works synergistically with other therapies by providing the growth factor signal while they support the healing environment:

• With HBOT: HBOT provides oxygen for healing; PRP initiates regeneration
• With PBM: PBM provides cellular energy; PRP signals tissue repair
• With Ozone: Both support the body's healing response through different mechanisms
• Standalone: Excellent for localized musculoskeletal and joint conditions
