Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative medicine treatment that uses the patient’s own blood platelets to resolve several musculoskeletal issues. The procedure is quite popular among athletes, and you can get it today at CELLAXYS – PRP Therapy Las Vegas Clinic!
PRP primarily targets musculoskeletal injuries related to joints, muscles, and tendons. These include tendinitis, arthritis, osteoarthritis, torn meniscus, disc herniation, and several pain disorders. All these conditions show great improvement with platelet-rich plasma injections.
PRP can also treat nerve injuries, including sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, and other nerve inflammatory conditions. The procedure stimulates nerve repair and minimizes painful sensations to provide instant relief. PRP also shows amazing results for cosmetic treatments like androgenic alopecia and plastic surgery procedures, such as facelifts, wrinkle reduction, and skin tightening.
Over the years, many research studies have found the efficacy of PRP treatments in treating sports, spine, and orthopedic-related injuries. It helps treat torn tendons, muscle fatigue, minor fractures, inflammation, and more. While PRP injections heal damaged tissues in the affected areas, they also reduce painful sensations and improve joint mobility.
Besides sports injuries, PRP therapy is also quite helpful in improving appearance-related issues, such as baldness, sagging skin, signs of aging, etc. The procedure painlessly boosts people’s confidence and self-esteem, giving visible results in only a few weeks of the treatment.
Compared to surgery, PRP therapy doesn’t involve incisions, which is why it’s painless, non-invasive, and less risky. It only takes 45 minutes to complete, and you may be able to go home right after the procedure. The recovery time is also shorter than surgeries.
PRP therapy is a simple 3-step procedure easily performed within 45 minutes. Our PRP therapy Las Vegas doctor will give you full confidence so you can go for the procedure with peace of mind!
The procedure starts with the surgeon acquiring your blood sample. They will use an injection to extract the right amount of blood from your body.
The blood sample is then sent to a centrifuge, a machine that spins the blood at varying speeds to separate its vials. Soon, the blood separates into three components: red blood cells, a buffy coat, and plasma rich in platelets and nutrients. The surgeon removes the plasma with platelets and growth factors and centrifuges it one more time.
The plasma with less platelet content is removed, and the other part rich in platelets is utilized for the injections. Platelets are the healing components of our body, which stimulate new tissue development in the injured areas. Finally, the surgeon applies the injections to the injury site or damaged tissues for healing.
Platelets are your body’s first line of defense. They are the primary clotting components that activate when the body suffers an injury or trauma. They instantly gather around the injured cells or tissues, producing a clumping effect to offer them safety and structure (or scaffolding). Platelets stay there until the injured cells or tissues replace them with new, healthy ones.
When platelets produce the scaffolding for new tissues, they release alpha granules filled with 10 critical growth factors and attract healing cells from the blood. Plasma, a liquid matter, allows these cells and nutrients to travel across the body. You will start noticing a visible reduction in your inflammation or pain within a few weeks of PRP therapy.
