PLATELET- RICH PLASMA
A new tool against pain
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment is effective in relieving pain without the need for surgery. The injection is applied directly where the tissues need repair and responds quickly to the regeneration process.
For that reason, many well-known athletes, such as Tiger Woods, Rafael Nadal, and several soccer stars have opted for PRP injections to treat knee pain, tendon injuries, and other conditions. They have chosen this type of cellular treatment because of its incredible results to return to competition quickly.
The platelet-rich plasma treatment is performed by taking a blood sample from the patient. It is processed in our laboratory to obtain a concentrate of platelets rich in growth factors, which are then infiltrated into the lesion and stimulate rapid recovery. This procedure is also known as autologous cell therapy because it uses the patient's cells, allowing tissue regeneration in the most natural way possible.

What is the Platelet-Rich Plasma application procedure?
Blood is obtained
Blood is drawn from the patient
Centrifugation of blood
The blood sample is centrifuged to separate its components, and the dispensable parts are discarded.
Injection of PRP
The plasma is injected into the area to be treated (muscle, tendon, or joint) where the repair process needs to be accelerated.
The processing of the patient's blood to obtain the Platelet Rich Plasma (blood extraction and centrifugation) and the application (injection in muscle, tendon, or joint) is performed sequentially so that the whole procedure takes no longer than thirty minutes.
Why choose PRP treatment?
Platelets are common mediators of the tissue repair process (healing). Therefore, by applying many platelets, the tissue repair reaction in the lesion area is amplified, generating resolution in chronic pathologies and shortening the time in acute pathologies.
It is an entirely natural, non-toxic, and non-allergenic procedure since the patient’s own blood is used.
