PRP

What is PRP?

PRP is a restorative treatment that uses the power of your own blood to repair tissues, reduce inflammation, and support healing.

Your blood contains platelets, which are rich in growth factors that help your body heal. During PRP treatment, Joshua draws a small amount of your blood, then spins it in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from other components.

He then injects the resulting platelet-rich plasma or applies it to the area needing treatment. Because PRP uses your own cells, it works naturally with your body’s repair processes.

How is PRP used for injuries?

PRP has become a popular treatment for soft-tissue injuries, including:

• Tendon strains
• Ligament sprains
• Joint pain
• Overuse injuries

PRP can help speed healing by increasing blood flow and stimulating tissue repair. Many patients use PRP as part of treatment for chronic knee pain, tennis elbow, rotator cuff issues, and other musculoskeletal problems. 

Joshua might recommend combining PRP with physical therapy or lifestyle guidance to maximize results.

Can PRP help with hair loss?

PRP is widely used to treat thinning hair in both men and women. When injected into areas of hair loss, PRP increases blood flow to hair follicles and encourages them to produce stronger, healthier strands.

Patients often notice improved thickness, reduced shedding, and better hair density over time. Multiple sessions may be necessary for the best results.

How does PRP improve skin?

PRP can rejuvenate your skin by stimulating collagen production and enhancing texture, tone, and elasticity. It’s helpful for common areas like:

• Fine lines
• Acne scars
• Dark circles
• Overall skin refreshment

Some treatments involve microneedling with PRP, allowing growth factors to penetrate down into deeper layers of the skin.

Because PRP is natural and sourced from your own body, it’s an excellent option for patients seeking non-surgical aesthetic enhancements.

What can I expect during a PRP session?

Most sessions take 45–60 minutes. After drawing your blood, Joshua prepares the PRP and administers the injections or applies the topical treatment. Discomfort is usually mild, and most people return to normal activities shortly afterward.

PRP comes from your own blood, so the risk of allergic reactions is extremely low. Mild soreness or swelling around the injection site is normal but temporary.
