What is Enriched Plasma PRP Treatment?
Enriched plasma, also known as PRP, or platelet–rich plasma, is a special treatment that supports your body’s healing processes.

Your blood has several parts: red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. Platelets are tiny pieces that help your blood clot when you get a cut. Plasma is the liquid part of your blood that carries these cells and platelets.
Within this mix, we find enriched plasma. Our providers take a small amount of your blood and put it into a centrifuge. This spins the blood very fast, separating the platelets and plasma from the other parts. They then mix the plasma with a higher concentration of platelets, creating enriched plasma.
This enriched plasma has special healing properties because it’s packed with platelets and growth factors – substances that support the body’s own repair mechanisms. Our providers can inject this mixture into an injured area, like a sore muscle or damaged joint, to help support the localized healing process.
This protocol is used as a component of our Joint Rejuvenation Protocols for supporting sports injury treatment, arthritis, and inflammation treatment, or other aesthetic treatments where the body needs a little support to help to heal or rejuvenate.
The Body's Powerful Plasma (PRP)
Enriched plasma PRP is a powerful treatment that supports your body’s natural healing process. It works by harnessing the power of platelets, tiny blood particles that contain growth factors – substances that are shown to promote healing and repair in the body. When enriched plasma is injected into an injured or damaged area, it releases these growth factors, which may help in the recovery process.
The growth factors in enriched plasma have been shown to support in the growth of new cells and blood vessels, helping to rebuild and rejuvenate injured tissue. They also help reduce inflammation, which can cause pain and slow down healing. Decreasing inflammation allows for faster and more efficient injury and accident recovery.
Overall, enriched plasma works by delivering a concentrated dose of healing factors directly to the site of injury. This targeted approach helps to support the body’s natural repair process, leading to faster healing and a quicker return to normal function.
Enriched plasma treatment is an innovative and natural way to support your body’s ability to heal itself that we embrace at Ultimate Health.

Frequently Asked Questions About PRP Treatments
Is PRP right for you?
PRP isn’t right for people with blood disorders, low platelet counts, or people taking blood thinning medications. It’s also not a good choice if you have an active infection or certain types of cancer. Make sure to talk about your entire medical history with your medical provider in order to determine if PRP therapy is right for you.
Are there complementary treatments to enhance PRP therapy?
Make sure you’re getting proper nutrition, such as protein-rich foods, vitamins C and D, and minerals for tissue healing. We also find that some patients benefit from additional treatments such as physical therapy or exercise programs. There are also lifestyle changes to keep in mind, like proper sleep, stress management, and avoiding inflammatory foods.
Does PRP therapy offer permanent results?
While some patients can experience long-lasting results after a single treatment, others will need additional maintenance sessions. We always recommend that PRP treatment is accompanied by healthy lifestyle chances in order to optimize long-term outcomes.
How can you maximize the benefits of PRP treatment?
Ensure that you’re following our pre and post-treatment instructions, asking as many questions as possible so that you’re clear about what to expect going forward. These instructions typically include avoiding anti-inflammatory medications before and after treatment, staying hydrated, maintaining a balanced diet, and getting enough rest. All of these details help your body’s healing response. Remember that the full benefits of PRP therapy can take several weeks to become apparent.
