Immediate Results
Using PRP injections boosts the body's natural healing process, so you'll start seeing results even after your first visit. In most cases, positive results occur much quicker than alternative methods, like physiotherapy, and last for a longer period of time.
Many Applications
PRP injections aren't just for any one injury. Instead, they are widely applicable to all manner of conditions. This includes sports injuries, like tennis elbow and sprains, chronic conditions, ligament tears, and even osteoarthritis.
Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP for short, is a solution specially derived from a client's blood that is rich in proteins and growth factors needed for healing. When injected into injured muscles, tendons, and ligaments, the solution works to enhance your body's existing healing process to reduce pain, swelling, and repair the damaged tissue.
Studies show the healing benefits of PRP stem from anabolic growth factors. These are muscle-building chemicals that complement the body's natural healing process. As a result, you'll heal more quickly and holistically than through more conventional means.
In addition, PRP boosts collagen production, a protein found in the skin that helps keep it smooth and naturally decreases as we age. PRP is also effective in reversing this process and boosting your body's production of collagen, providing a more youthful appearance.
At Dr. Langer's Family Medicine and Walk-in Clinic, we offer Botox in Brampton to complement our PRP treatments. No matter your therapeutic or aesthetic needs, we offer an effective solution.
What to Expect
PRP injection therapy has been in use for years, though it has become much more popular only recently. As a result, many of our clients are unaware of the benefits or what this procedure entails.
We'll start with an initial consultation, understanding your goals and the injury or pain you wish to resolve. This will include an assessment of any prior or current treatments you've tried to resolve the issue previously.
Next, one of our trained medical professionals will draw a small amount of blood, using a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma for use. Finally, the solution will be carefully injected into the injury site, a process that involves minimal pain or discomfort.
The entire process usually takes less than an hour, after which you are free to carry on with your day with no downtime.
PRP Injections
PRP uses a component of your blood − platelets − that contains proteins and growth factors to enhance your body's natural healing process.
We deliver a more concentrated dose of this solution to affected areas by isolating and injecting your platelet-rich plasma into the muscle, tendon, or ligament that's been injured. As a result, you'll recover more quickly and with less downtime than alternative methods of therapy.
