WHAT IS PRP TREATMENT USED FOR?
Hair loss.
. PRP is injected into the scalp to promote hair growth and prevent hair loss. These injections are used to treat androgenic alopecia, also known as male pattern baldness.
.Tendon injuries
.Tendons are tough, thick bands of tissue that connect muscle to bone. They are usually slow to heal after injury. PRP injections are used to treat chronic tendon problems, such as tennis elbow, achilles tendonitis at the ankle, jumper’s knee and many more.
.Acute injuries
.PRP injections can be used to treat acute sports injuries such as pulled hamstrings muscles or knee sprains.
.Post surgical repair
.PRP injections after surgery can be used to help repair a torn tendon (such as a rotator cuff tendon in the shoulder) or ligaments (such as the anterior cruciate ligament).
.Osteoarthritis
.PRP injections in the knee may help people with osteoarthritis. PRP injections were more effective than hyaluronic acid injections (a traditional therapy) for treating osteoarthritis.
