What Are Biological Treatments?
Biological treatments are the modern term for biopharmaceutical products derived from living organisms, including human tissue-derived products. This definition is commonly used for PRP(Platelet Rich Plasma), exosomes, and stem cell products. The treatments commonly referred to as a Vampire Facial®, a Vampire face, and PRP injections have been offered by Svetlana Pyatigorskaya, NP, at Family Health PC for many years. Nurse practitioner Svetlana Pyatigorskaya has all the necessary credentials and experience to deliver the injections of the natural platelet-rich plasma for any need you may have.

How Do PRP Injections Work?
How Do PRP Injections Work? PRP injections involve taking a small amount of your own blood and then concentrating it with platelets to enhance its healing capabilities. Platelets initiate repair by promoting blood clotting to prevent excessive bleeding injuries. Still, they’re also packed with growth and healing factors. PRP therapy injections promote healing wherever they’re placed. A centrifuge separates the platelets in your blood sample from other blood components. Svetlana, a PRP therapy specialist credentialed to administer the procedure, then injects these activated platelets directly into your injured or diseased body tissue. Research shows that platelet-rich plasma enhances the healing process. Some of the expected benefits of PRP therapy include:
- Resolving pain through healing, allowing you to return to an active lifestyle after each treatment
- repairing tissue definitively
- accelerating your body’s immune system
- and promoting hair growth following gastric bypass surgery
What Is a PRP Injection Treatment?
What Is a PRP Injection Treatment? A platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection is a treatment that uses a concentration of your own blood platelets to accelerate healing. Platelets, technically called thrombocytes, are responsible for natural healing functions. A PRP injection uses the healing capabilities in your own blood to treat injured body parts, such as tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints. This therapy is now an integral part of regenerative medicine with multiple applications that include:
- PRP for treating joint injuries, muscle injuries, chronic tendon injuries, fractures, torn tendons, acute ligament and muscle injuries, tendinitis and arthritis-related pain
- Post-surgical repair that promotes healing after certain surgical procedures, such as jaw procedures and cosmetic surgery
- PRP facials for skin rejuvenation, as used for the widely popular Vampire Facial®, as well as other cosmetic procedures
- PRP to treat hair loss after surgery because it promotes hair regrowth
- Inflammation reduction caused by osteoarthritis.
The New York City-based Vitality NP NYC leverages this advanced treatment for multiple conditions. Svetlana Pyatigorskaya, a nurse practitioner (NP) and board-certified anti-aging specialist, offers PRP facial therapy and PRP for hair loss at her state-of-the-art facility in Downtown Manhattan.
What’s the Procedure for PRP Injections?
What’s the Procedure for PRP Injections? During injection, precision is vital, so imaging technology is typically required to guide the injection. Your nurse practitioner explains the process to you before starting. The steps of the PRP treatment include:
- Svetlana draws between 15 and 50 milliliters of blood from your arm.
- The blood is placed in a closed-system centrifuge to separate the platelets.
- Your therapy specialist prepares platelet-rich plasma, a concentrated mixture of platelets and blood plasma.
- Svetlana cleans and disinfects the target area that’s injured or diseased.
- Your PRP therapy specialist injects the platelet-rich plasma into the injured area.
At Svetlana Pyatigorskaya, the PRP solution is injected into the skin with a needle and syringe for a PRP skin rejuvenation procedure. At this Brooklyn, NY-based clinic, an experienced PRP treatment specialist handles the entire procedure. From the initial consultations, you receive individual attention to ensure the best outcome.
How Do I Prepare for a PRP Injection?
How Do I Prepare for a PRP Injection? During the initial consultation with your PRP specialist, you discuss the necessary steps you need to take to prepare for the PRP injection. These preparations include:
- Not taking corticosteroid medications for several weeks before the procedure
- Avoiding non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) a week before your PRP injection
- Not taking anticoagulation medication five days prior to the PRP therapy
- Drinking sufficient amounts of water and liquids before your procedure date

exosomes
Human tissue-derived exosomes are a therapy option that has become increasingly popular over the last several years. For regenerative and aesthetic purposes, exosomes are commonly used for the same reason as PRP, and the administrative procedures are very similar. Exosome preparations are made from the tissue remaining in the umbilical cord after the child is born. In Svetlana Pyatigorskaya NP in Family Health PC, we only consider the use of preparations made in USA-based FDA-supervised human tissue manipulation facilities, obtained ethically from pre-labor-consented mothers, and checked for freedom from blood-borne transmitted infections. Extracellular vesicles, including exosomes, show promise in anti-aging therapies. They deliver bioactive molecules that rejuvenate cells, reduce inflammation, and support tissue repair. In human umbilical cord tissue, researchers have identified exosomes that have shown potential to improve skin elasticity, reduce wrinkles, and enhance cellular regeneration. They change senescence pathways, improve collagen synthesis, and mitochondrial function—key factors in aging. While preclinical studies are encouraging, clinical evidence in humans remains limited, is considered experimental treatment, and has no FDA-approved status for any indications. However, the products are FDA-cleared for safe use on the skin level
