Most patients benefit from a series of 2–3 treatments spaced several weeks apart, depending on the condition being treated and its severity. Some individuals notice improvement after a single session, while others may require additional treatments for optimal results. During your consultation, we’ll create a personalized plan based on your goals and response to treatment.
PRP therapy is typically considered an elective or regenerative treatment, which means it is not covered by most insurance plans at this time. However, many patients choose PRP because it can help reduce the need for more invasive procedures. We can review pricing and available payment options during your visit.
Because PRP works by stimulating your body’s natural healing process, results develop gradually. Many patients begin to notice improvements within 2–4 weeks, with continued progress over the following 2–3 months as tissue repair and regeneration take place.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during PRP treatment. A local anesthetic or numbing agent is often used to keep you comfortable, and the procedure itself is quick. You may feel mild soreness or pressure at the injection site afterward, but this typically resolves within a few days.
Recovery is usually quick and straightforward. You may experience mild swelling, soreness, or stiffness in the treated area for a few days. Most patients return to normal daily activities within 24–48 hours, although strenuous activity may be limited briefly to support optimal healing.
PRP therapy uses your body’s own blood components and is widely used in medical practice. While the PRP process itself is FDA-compliant, its use in certain regenerative treatments is considered off-label. This is common in many areas of medicine, and your provider will discuss how PRP is used safely and appropriately for your specific condition.
