What Is a PRP Injection?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections are a treatment used to help heal an injury. These shots, which are based on your own blood, are being used more to treat sports injuries and to help wounds heal after surgery. Some doctors use it as a cosmetic procedure to target signs of aging, such as wrinkles.
Plasma is the liquid part of your blood that’s mostly water and protein. It lets red and white blood cells and platelets move through your bloodstream. Platelets are blood cells that make your blood clot. They also play a role in healing.

PRP injections are used to treat a number of conditions, including:
Golf and tennis elbow are among the sports injuries treated with PRP injections.
More recently, studies have begun looking at it as a treatment for bladder issues, problems with jaw joints, and trouble smelling after a bout of COVID-19.
They’re becoming more common for cosmetic procedures, too. For example, dermatologists and hair replacement experts use PRP injections to treat a type of hair loss called androgenic alopecia, also known as male or female pattern baldness. And some dermatologists provide PRP treatments for the face. (You may have heard these called a “vampire facial.”)
