Consultation required prior to receiving treatment.
PRP is advanced treatment physicians have used to help repair damaged or injured tissues in your body. This minimally invasive procedure helps initiate your system's regenerative process by harvesting the growth factors that platelets are known to contain. One significant benefit to PRP is that you are using your body's own natural process; there is virtually no chance of rejection or allergic reaction.
The result of the treatment is natural stimulation of growth factors moving towards the treated area. There are no known side effects of PRP, although you may occasionally experience minor swelling or pain near the injection points for a short period of time.
PRP has gained national attention recently due to the use by champion football players and professional golfers. The process is quick, essentially painless and uses your natural healing powers without drugs.
With the ProGen Platelet Rich Plasma System, one kit does it all. Discover why more physicians are switching to this scientifically-validated system and how this progressive technology is the right solution for your practice.

FAQs | WHAT IS PLATELET-RICH PLASMA?Your blood is made up of four main components: red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. Platelet Rich Plasma is a platelet concentrated component from your own blood that contains nutrient rich cells and protein growth factors. WHAT ARE PLATELETS?Platelets are tiny cells that circulate within our body and bind together when they recognize damaged blood vessels. Platelets are made in your bone marrow along with your white and red blood cells. WHAT IS PLASMA?Plasma is the largest component of your blood, making up about 55 percent of its overall content. The primary purpose of plasma is to transport nutrients, hormones, and proteins to the parts of the body that need it. HOW IS PLATELET-RICH PLASMA PREPARED?Platelet Rich Plasma is produced when a small amount of blood is drawn and placed into a sterile, disposable container and then, spun to separate the platelets from your blood sample, resulting in a platelet-rich plasma. IS PLATELET-RICH PLASMA SAFE?Platelet Rich Plasma is safe because it comes from your own blood, therefore there is minimal risk for allergic or immune reaction. Platelet Rich Plasma preparation must be conducted by a trained medical professional. Consult your physician for more information. |

The treatment of PRP is relatively simple and can be completed within an hour. Blood is drawn from the patient (approximately 20cc). The blood is then transferred to a 30mm cylinder (YES PRP Kit). The doctor immediately places the blood into a centrifuge for separation, which takes approximately 8 minutes. Once the Platelet Rich Plasma is separated, it is transferred to a syringe for injection. PPP is distinctly visible and may be used separately or mixed with the PRP.
