It's clear that the clinic's tailored approach and Dr. Ammar's commitment are key to their patients' paths to improved well-being."

What Is PRP?

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is concentrated from your own blood which contains healing factors, such as white blood cells and bioactive proteins, called growth factors and stem cell markers. These cells are vital for tissue regeneration and repair. Platelets, once thought of being responsible only for clotting, have been scientifically proven to be a reservoir of these vital healing components. With prp treatment we are able to concentrate these regenerative healing cells in a simple outpatient setting.

PRP therapy takes advantage of platelet growth factors which helps with the three phases of wound healing and repair cascade: inflammation, proliferation and remodeling. It has been used to work with medical conditions such as wound healing in trauma and joint pain as well as for promoting youthful complexion with the “vampire facial”.

It can improve function of the effected body area by speeding the healing of the injured area that is causing the pain.

Tailor your PRP options to your specific condition

PRP can be processed with virtually little to no red blood cells. Effective PRP contains clinical levels of platelet growth factors, and ideally, having control over the PRP’s granulocyte content is necessary for treatment selection.

AbsolutePRP™ Gold

Prepare pure PRP in one (1) minute of processing time. A single spin system that delivers up to 90% platelet yield and 3X concentration in 5-7mL of PRP without inflammatory red blood cells. A low volume processing system with a clinical biologic output. AbsolutePRP™ Gold is the fastest and most powerful PRP system in the low volume space. Processes 20mL of whole blood.

AbsolutePRP™

The stretchy cartilage known as the meniscus serves as a cushion for the knee joint. Sports involving contact can injure the meniscus. A common knee injury is a torn meniscus. Pain, edema, stiffness, and difficulty completely extending the knee are among symptoms.

Patellar Tendinitis and Prepatellar Bursitis

Prepare PRP in five (5) minutes of processing time. A single spin system that delivers up to 85% platelet yield and 5X concentration in 5-7mL of PRP. Contains high concentrations of granulocytes for a powerful antimicrobial effect. Process from 30 to 120mL of whole blood.

PurePRP® II

A super concentrated PRP with very low red blood cells, neutrophils and granulocytes. The end results are platelet concentrations exceeding 7-9X baseline.

PurePRP® Supraphysiologic

The staple of all PRP systems. Provides supraphysiologic, clinically effective Pure PRP with viable growth factors, noninflammatory mediators and cytokines. Prepare Pure PRP in six and a half (6.5) minutes of processing time. A double spin system that delivers up to 95% platelet yield and 9X concentration in 7-8mL of PRP without red blood cell content. This system offers the most versatility, permitting the user to control the granulocyte content based on the clinical requirement. Closed system processing and superior handling offers optimal sterility control and patient safety. Process from 30 to 120mL of whole blood.

Recovery and Post-Treatment Care

Any anesthesia used generally wears off in 1-2 hours. Initially, pain and swelling may occur at the injection site. Patients can apply ice and elevation as needed. Use the area as tolerated since restricting movement for an extended time can cause stiffening. Pain medication will be prescribed if needed. Most patients are able to return to usual activities with no down time. Consult with your physician for the best post injection protocol.

Healing Process

The healing cascade takes 4-6 weeks to signal for Stem cells and regenerative cells to stimulate new growth and repair and rebuild the damaged tissue. Patients can expect to see significant improvement in symptoms and many report a gradual improvement in return of function. Two to three treatments may be needed to obtain optimal results.

Obtaining PRP

A small amount of peripheral blood is taken from the patient via blood draw and placed into a FDA medically approved container. This sterile disposable container is placed in a specialized centrifuge for spinning twice to separate the whole blood sample into ‘layers’ of platelet rich plasma (PRP) and red blood cells. The PRP layer is aspirated and is injected or applied, under sterile conditions, into the localized area of abnormality.

Frequently Asked Questions About PRP Therapy

PRP therapy works by utilizing the natural healing properties found in platelet-rich plasma, which is derived from the patient’s own blood. The platelet-rich plasma is then injected into the targeted area to stimulate tissue repair and promote the growth of new cells.

Yes, it can be used to stimulate hair growth and help with hair loss. It can be applied to the scalp where the hair is thinning to encourage the revitalization of hair follicles and promote the growth of new, healthy hair. It is being used for both androgenic alopecia and female pattern baldness. PRP hair restoration is one of the newest uses of this technology. We do not currently provide prp injections for hair loss.

Yes, it is considered a form of regenerative medicine. It harnesses the body’s natural healing capabilities to promote tissue repair and regeneration.

Yes, it can be used to treat certain musculoskeletal conditions. It can help stimulate the healing of tendons, ligaments, and joints, providing relief for sports injuries and other musculoskeletal issues. It is often sought after for sports medicine.
