PRP and PRF Injections

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, COLORADO

Explore the healing potential of PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) injections for hair restoration and musculoskeletal (MSK) injuries. These groundbreaking treatments utilize concentrations of your own blood’s platelets to release growth factors that stimulate the natural regeneration processes of the body. Whether it’s promoting hair growth by rejuvenating hair follicles or enhancing the healing of tendons and ligaments in MSK injuries, PRP and PRF injections offer a promising, non-surgical solution to accelerate recovery and improve tissue health.

What Are PRF & PRP Injections?

PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) injections are an innovative treatment that uses a concentrated mix of your blood’s fibrin, platelets, leukocytes, cytokines, and circulating stem cells to rejuvenate your body. PRF is processed slower than PRP treatments, resulting in a spongy, gel-like product. The PRF process ensures a rich blend of growth factors and stem cells, offering a potent solution for hair restoration and musculoskeletal injuries.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections are a cutting-edge cosmetic treatment that utilize the healing powers of your own blood to rejuvenate the body. The process involves drawing a small amount of your blood, which is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the plasma enriched with platelets. This concentrated platelet-rich plasma is rich in growth factors and is then injected back into targeted areas. This stimulates hair follicles, accelerates tissue repair, and promotes overall wellness.

How Do PRF & PRP Injections Work?

For Hair Restoration: PRP and PRF treatments involve drawing a small sample of the patient’s blood, which is then processed to concentrate the platelets along with their growth factors. In the case of PRP, the plasma is extracted after centrifugation, while PRF is developed by spinning blood at a lower speed to create a fibrin matrix that includes platelets, white blood cells, and growth factors. These are injected into the scalp to stimulate hair follicles, promoting new growth and strengthening existing hair. PRF’s slower release of growth factors may offer sustained benefits, enhancing the overall effectiveness of hair restoration.

For MSK Injuries: Both PRP and PRF are used to treat a variety of musculoskeletal conditions including tendonitis, ligament injuries, muscle strains, and joint disorders such as arthritis. The concentrated growth factors in PRP and the fibrin matrix in PRF promote the body’s natural repair mechanisms when injected into the injured area. This process not only accelerates tissue healing but also reduces pain and improves function more effectively than many traditional treatments. PRF’s unique composition allows for a prolonged release of growth factors, potentially enhancing the healing process over a longer period.

Benefits of PRF & PRP Injections

Enhanced Healing

For MSK injuries, PRP and PRF injections deliver a high concentration of growth factors directly to the injured area, which can significantly speed up the healing process by enhancing tissue regeneration and reducing inflammation.

Natural Regeneration

Both PRP and PRF harness the body’s own healing mechanisms by using the patient’s blood. This natural approach reduces the risk of allergic reactions and rejection, promoting safer regeneration and repair of tissues.

Hair Growth Stimulation

The growth factors in PRP and PRF stimulate dormant hair follicles, promoting new hair growth and thickening existing hair strands. This can be particularly beneficial for those suffering from conditions like androgenetic alopecia.

Minimally Invasive

Both treatments are non-surgical and only minimally invasive, involving simple injections that can be administered in a clinical setting without the need for general anesthesia or long recovery times.

Pain Reduction

Patients often experience a reduction in pain following PRP and PRF treatments. The growth factors help to naturally modulate pain and inflammation without the need for steroids or other pain management drugs.

Long-Term Benefits

PRF offers the advantage of a fibrin matrix that allows for a slow, sustained release of growth factors. This can provide prolonged healing effects and longer-lasting results in both hair restoration and injury recovery compared to traditional treatments.

FAQs

Avoid NSAIDs and certain supplements, hydrate well, and refrain from alcohol for at least a week prior.
Blood will be drawn and processed, and PRF or PRP is then injected into the targeted areas. Numbing medication is used to minimize discomfort.
Typically, 3-5 treatments are recommended for best results.
Some redness, bruising, and swelling at the injection site usually subside within a few days.

The number of sessions needed can vary depending on the individual’s condition and the treatment area. For hair restoration, patients typically see improvement after three to six sessions spaced one month apart. For MSK injuries, the number of treatments can vary based on the severity of the injury, but improvements are often noticed after one to three sessions.
