What is PRP Therapy?
PRP is a safe, natural, and minimally invasive procedure that uses your own platelets — concentrated from a small sample of your blood — to stimulate and accelerate tissue repair.
Here’s how it works:
- Draw & Process – We take a small blood sample and spin it in a centrifuge to isolate your platelets and growth factors.
- Concentrate & Prepare – These platelets are concentrated to 4–5x your baseline levels.
- Target & Inject – Using ultrasound guidance, we precisely inject the PRP into the injured tissue.
- Kickstart Healing – The platelets release growth factors, recruiting repair cells and triggering your body’s regenerative cascade.
This “supercharged” healing process helps reduce pain, improve mobility, and in some cases, regenerate damaged tissue.
Why PRP?
Natural & Safe – Uses your own blood, so there’s no risk of rejection
Minimally Invasive – No surgery, no general anesthesia, minimal downtime
Cost-Effective – Often less expensive than surgery or long-term medications
Clinically Proven – Used since the 1990s in surgery and widely adopted in orthopedics and sports medicine
“We now know that inflammation is a necessary part of the healing process. PRP helps create a controlled, productive inflammatory response that accelerates recovery — unlike NSAIDs or steroids that block healing and can cause further tissue damage.”
-Joe Albano, MD

Beyond Orthopedics
PRP isn’t just for joints — it’s also widely used in aesthetics and wellness:
- Microneedling with PRP: Improves skin texture, stimulates collagen, reduces scars
- Hair Restoration: Boosts natural hair growth
- Sexual Health: O-Shot® for women, P-Shot® for men
What to Expect
Most patients are in-office for 2–3 hours. After treatment, you may have mild soreness for 24–48 hours as the healing response activates. Most people resume normal activity quickly and see improvement over weeks to months as tissue regenerates.
Recovery is typically faster than surgery — and results can last longer because PRP addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms.
