Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

PRP is a concentrated "golden wonder-liquid" made from your own blood. It's created by drawing your blood and using a special separating gel to isolate the plasma and platelets from the red blood cells, which are not needed for the treatment.

The injection involves minimal pain, aided by a cold spray for the needle sting. Recovery involves gentle knee movement and light activities, but no strenuous sports. Avoid anti-inflammatories and ice; Tylenol and heat are okay instead. Stay out of public water for 24-72 hours post-treatment.

Based on staff experiences like Christina's, results can include significant pain relief and improved flexibility. The treatment is described as potentially "life-altering" for joint issues like a swollen knee from sports injuries, with some cases requiring just one injection.
