PRP for Ligaments

PRP for Ligaments at Aesthetics Central

PRP therapy has gained attention in the field of orthopaedics for its potential to treat ligament/tendon injuries. These areas are commonly challenging to heal due to the limited blood supply to the tissue. PRP is a natural approach to harness the body’s own healing capabilities.

Results may vary between individuals and can require multiple sessions to achieve optimum affect.

Clients are always recommended to consult with their doctor/specialist to discuss potential benefits, risks and suitability or this treatment.

Mechanism of Action

  • Growth-Factor Release: PRP contains growth factors such as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), transforming growth factor (TGF), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) that promote cell proliferation, tissue repair, and regeneration.
  • Enhanced Healing: The growth factors in PRP enhance the body’s natural healing processes, accelerating the repair of ligament fibres and improving overall tissue strength.
  • Reduced Inflammation: PRP can reduce inflammation around the injured ligament, decreasing pain and improving function.
  • Improved blood supply: PRP helps increase blood flow to the ligament, providing essential nutrients and oxygen for tissue repair.

The Benefits

  • Accelerated Healing: PRP therapy can speed up the healing process of ligament injuries, reducing recovery time.
  • Reduced Pain: Clients often experience a reduction in pain and inflammation, leading to improved mobility and function.
  • Minimally invasive: PRP is a minimally invasive treatment that can be performed in an outpatient setting, with little to no downtime.
  • Natural: Using your own blood minimizes the risk of allergic reactions or adverse effects.
