All You Need to Know About PRP (Platelet-rich
plasma) Injections Procedure, Cost, and Side
Effects

PRP or Platelet-rich plasma is a healing
substance that is injected into our body through
needles. Plasma is a protein-contained blood
component that helps your blood to clot. PRP is
produced through isolating plasma from blood and
then make a concentration. When PRP injection in
Singapore is given to someone, it heals the cells
and generates new ones. This way the tissue grows
at a much faster rate providing quick recovery.
Though it is not approved as a legal treatment
method in several countries, many giant
sportspersons like Tiger Woods, Rafael Nadal, and
many other athletes have used these injections to
get quick recovery from injuries.

Can you inject PRP into your body? Platelet-rich
plasma injections can be used for several health
issues, such as Hair loss Dermatologists inject
PRP into the scalps to promote hair growth and
prevent hair loss. A study conducted in 2014 says
that Platelet-rich plasma injection is a very
effective treatment for Androgenic Alopecia or
commonly known as baldness. Injuries Doctors
have been using these injections to treat both,
tendon injuries and acute sports injuries.
Sportspersons are given these injections for
hamstring pulls or knee sprains etc. PRP is
injected in chronic tendon injuries as well, like
tennis elbow, jumpers knee or patellar tendon
pain in the knee, etc. Tendons are very tough but
thick tissues that work as a bridge between
muscles to bone.

  • After surgical treatments
  • After surgery doctors inject Platelet-rich plasma
    if a tendon tissue gets torn accidentally.
  • Osteoarthritis
  • People suffering from osteoarthritis have got
    more effective pain relief through Platelet-rich
    plasma injections than hyaluronic acid
    injections.
  • But, it is advised not to inject PRP without
    consulting a doctor as they are given according
    to the need or injury of every individual.
  • How Platelet-rich plasma injection is prepared?
  • PRP can be injected in various ways, 
  • Sometimes numbing cream is used before the
    injection and for that, you have to arrive
    earlier for your treatment session.
  • In other cases, local anesthesia is mixed with
    PRP or sometimes its applied during the surgical
    procedure too.

Complete procedure to inject PRP
  • After visiting your pain specialist in Singapore,
    he/she will decide the right PRP dosage for your
    issues.
  • On the day of treatment, the blood sample will be
    drawn. The amount of the sample depends on the
    area of the injection. But, dont worry as most
    of the time they will draw one tablespoon or less
    blood.
  • Then in order to separate the blood components,
    its placed on the centrifuge that spins at a
    very high speed. 
  • The process takes around 12-15 minutes and after
    that, the healthcare provider separates the
    plasma to create the injection.
  • To find a specific tendon tissue, the doctors use
    ultrasound technologies most of the time.

Platelet-rich plasma injection cost
  • Before approaching Platelet-rich plasma
    injection, you must know that your health
    insurance will not cover this. So, the money you
    will spend on these injections will come out of
    your own pockets. The cost of PRP injections
    depends on the health condition of the
    individual, but for hair loss treatment, it might
    cost around S 1200- S3500. On the other hand,
    the knee injection may cost around S 600- S
    1500.

Side effects
  • As PRP injects certain substances in our body,
    you could suffer from some side effects. PRP
    injections are not allergic as it is an
    autologous treatment, where contents are drawn
    from your own body. However, some of the side
    effects of PRP injections are,
  • Skin infection
  • Nerve injuries
  • Swelling and redness in the injection site
  • Pain in the injection site
  • Tissue mutilation
