Question 1

What is PRP?

Accepted Answer

Platelet-Rich Plasma, or PRP, is prepared from a small sample of your own blood. The sample is processed to create a plasma preparation containing a concentrated amount of platelets. Your provider can explain how PRP may be used as part of your individualized treatment plan.

Question 2

What is PRFM?

Accepted Answer

Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix, or PRFM, is another autologous platelet preparation. Its processing creates a fibrin matrix that differs from conventional PRP. Your provider will determine whether PRP, PRFM, or another option is appropriate based on your treatment goals.

Question 3

Is PRP FDA-approved?

Accepted Answer

PRP preparation systems are medical devices, and their FDA clearance or approval status and intended uses vary by system. FDA clearance of a device should not be interpreted as FDA approval of PRP for every condition or cosmetic treatment. We can discuss the specific technology used during your consultation.

Question 4

Does PRP work for hair thinning?

Accepted Answer

PRP may be considered for selected patients with certain types of hair thinning. Results vary, and hair loss can have many causes. An evaluation can help determine whether PRP or another treatment approach may be appropriate.

Question 5

Can PRP be used for joint or tendon concerns?

Accepted Answer

PRP may be considered in selected patients for certain musculoskeletal applications. Whether it is appropriate depends on the diagnosis, clinical history, examination, and other factors. Your provider will discuss the evidence, potential risks, benefits, and alternatives relevant to your condition.

Question 6

How many PRP treatments will I need?

Accepted Answer

There is no universal treatment schedule. The recommended number and frequency of sessions depend on the treatment area, clinical indication, response to treatment, and your provider’s recommendations.

Question 7

Is there downtime after PRP or PRFM?

Accepted Answer

Downtime varies by treatment area and procedure. Temporary redness, bruising, swelling, tenderness, or soreness may occur. Your provider will provide individualized aftercare instructions.

No. Individual responses vary and no particular aesthetic, hair-growth, or pain-relief outcome can be guaranteed.
