How Do PRP Injections Work?
- Resolving pain through healing

- Repairing tissue definitively
- Reducing the need for surgery by treating injured tissues before the damage progresses
- Accelerating your body’s immune system
- Promoting hair growth following gastric bypass surgery
What Is a PRP Injection Treatment?
A platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection is a treatment protocol that contains a concentration of your own blood platelets to accelerate the healing process. 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 Svetlana Pyatigorskaya NP in Family Health PC 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?
- Svetlana draws between 15 and 50 milliliters of blood from your arm.
- The blood is placed in a centrifuge machine, in a closed system, to separate the platelets.
- Your therapy specialist prepares the platelet-rich plasma, which is concentrated platelets with some blood plasma.
- Svetlana cleans and disinfects the target area that’s injured or diseased.
- Imaging technology, such as an ultrasound or CT scan, is used when required so that the injection is precisely placed.
- Your PRP therapy specialist injects the platelet-rich plasma into the injured area.

- Not taking corticosteroid medications for several weeks before the procedure
- Avoiding non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) a week before your PRP injection
