PRP therapy: where your own platelets may support care

Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, is prepared from a client's own blood. A sample is collected and processed to concentrate platelets in plasma, then used in a specific treatment area. Platelets release signaling proteins involved in healing, but the clinical evidence varies by condition and protocol.

One name covers many protocols

PRP preparation can differ in platelet concentration, white blood cell content, activation, equipment, injection technique, and number of sessions. Results from one protocol or treatment area cannot automatically be applied to another.

PRP has been studied in musculoskeletal conditions, hair loss, and some aesthetic applications. Evidence is more supportive in certain uses than others, and results are not guaranteed. It should not be casually grouped with stem cells, exosomes, or other regenerative products.

Risks and candidacy

Because PRP begins with your blood, allergy to the injected material may be less likely than with some manufactured substances. Infection, bleeding, bruising, pain, tissue injury, nerve injury, and lack of benefit can still occur. Blood disorders, infection, certain medications, anemia, and other health factors may affect candidacy or preparation.

Ask before treatment

At IDARA Truforme, the fact that a treatment uses your own biology is the beginning of the explanation. Clinical purpose and technique still carry the work.
