FAQ: PRP Joint Therapy at Women’s Choice Aesthetics & Mammography in Trumbull, CT

What happens during a PRP joint therapy treatment?

To begin your visit, we draw your blood and place it in a specially-designed centrifuge. This allows us to isolate a precise formulation of platelets specifically for the rejuvenation of musculoskeletal tissue. This process takes about 15 minutes. We then numb your specific treatment area with a topical anesthetic. Using ultrasound, we will locate the precise areas of inflammation before carefully injecting them with PRP for maximum healing benefits.

How long does PRP joint therapy take?

This will vary, depending on the severity of your pain and injuries, but most often the entire treatment takes less than an hour.

How much downtime can I expect with PRP joint therapy?

Most patients resume their normal daily activities immediately following treatment. Depending on the severity of the pain or injury and treatment received, some patients may need to rest for a brief period after treatment. Unlike surgery, no long-term rest or recovery time is necessary with PRP treatments.

What are the most common side effects of PRP joint therapy?

Side effects with PRP joint therapy are rare, though there can be some swelling or stiffness at the injection site. These side effects resolve quickly on their own in the hours to days following treatment. Applying ice can help reduce any discomfort.

How many treatments will I need?

The number of treatments needed varies, depending on the specific issues of the patient. However, most patients require only one or two treatments to achieve improvements. Every case is unique, so we will work with you to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to you.

How long does PRP joint therapy last?

You will begin to see results with your PRP joint therapy around 2 to 3 weeks after treatment. Because PRP joint therapy helps heal the cause of pain, the results are long- lasting and may prevent the need for surgery in the future.
