Patient questions
How does PRP therapy work?
Your blood is drawn and processed to concentrate platelets and growth factors, which are then injected into the target area to support your body's natural healing response.
Understanding this topic
PRP therapy works by concentrating platelets and related growth factors from your own blood, then placing them into a target joint or soft tissue area under physician guidance. The goal is to support the body's natural healing response rather than to mask the symptom.
At Zest Regen Health, PRP is prepared from a small sample of your blood. The sample is centrifuged to separate and concentrate the platelet-rich portion, which is then injected into the treated area.
Because PRP is prepared from the patient's own blood, it is a personalized treatment by design. Healing responses unfold over weeks, so benefits may take time and often require multiple sessions depending on the condition.
