PRP Treatments

A platelet-rich plasma treatment at Atlantic Knee Restoration and Regenerative Medicine is an injection that utilizes a concentration of platelets extracted from the patient’s own blood that helps increase the body’s healing process biologically.

PRP injections are often used to treat musculoskeletal issues as well as injured muscles, tendons, joints and ligaments. The most promising results involve the treatment of Achilles tendinosis, tennis elbow and osteoarthritis of the knee. Side effects of the treatment are limited due to the use of the patient’s own blood, but anti-inflammatory medications should not be taken before or after the treatment.

PRP is an FDA-approved therapeutic injection process for the growth, repair, and rehabilitation of connective tissue, such as shoulders, knees, hips, neck, back, etc. PRP therapy aides the body’s natural healing process by delivering a higher concentration of platelets, directly into the area of need. Platelet Rich Plasma involves drawing a sample of your blood, which is then placed in a centrifuge to isolate the blood platelets. This Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is precisely injected back into the area in need of repair, enhancing the healing process. The process has been shown to be safe and effective in treating Chronic Knee Pain.

PRP Hair Restoration Treatment

Atlantic Knee Restoration and Regenerative Medicine also offers PRP treatments to combat and reverse hair loss. Hair loss around the temples and scalp affects about 90% of adults as they age. However, most hair restoration specialists only focus on restoring hair along the frontal hairline. Our PRP Hair Restoration Treatments use your own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) so you can generate fuller and more natural looking hair in the region(s) of the scalp where your hair loss has occurred.

PRP works to improve and regrow hair by providing new blood supply to hair follicles, increasing the size of the hair shaft. The result of using Atlantic Knee Restoration and Regenerative Medicine PRP Hair Restoration Treatments is an immediate surge in growth factors followed by a prolonged release of those growth factors over time to help stop hair loss and regrow new hair.
