What is PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy?

PRP therapy is a cutting-edge regenerative treatment that uses your own platelets to accelerate healing and repair. Our board-certified doctors at STEMS Health tailor PRP injections to stimulate and augment your natural healing response mechanisms.

PRP therapy is a less invasive alternative to surgery and drugs. Platelet-rich plasma contains concentrated platelets, including cytokines and growth factors, and has anti-inflammatory properties.  

The PRP procedure at our clinic in Miami Beach is ideal for patients seeking a minimally invasive option for treating spine pain, shoulder, knee, and hip joint pain, and other musculoskeletal and aesthetic conditions.

Why Patients Choose PRP Injections?

Reduced Healing Times

The latest studies show the increased concentrations of growth factors within platelet-rich plasma may help speed up the healing process, shortening healing times. 

Natural & Safe

Because PRP treatments use your own cells and plasma, they offer a natural alternative to surgical care and pharmaceutical interventions, which each have their distinct risk profiles.

Versatile Applications

PRP is suitable for a wide range of medical and cosmetic applications. Our experienced team can created tailored PRP treatments for osteoarthritis, sports injuries, and hair loss. Platelet-Rich Plasma helps treat damaged tissues, restore function, and help patients improve their quality of life.

PRP Pain Relief Treatments

Conditions We Treat

PRP is a leading alternative solution for athletes and patients with muscle, tendon, and ligament injuries. Both professional and amateur athletes are seeing transformative results in treating common sports injuries with our sports medicine, including:

  • Tennis elbow
  • Rotator cuff tears
  • Golfer’s elbow
  • Chronic suffering related to repetitive stress injuries in the knee and shoulder

The data shows PRP may help relieve orthopedic joint aches and restore joint function. For those patients with knee osteoarthritis, platelet-rich plasma injections can target the source of the joint problem and regenerate damaged tissues. Our doctors’ experience in treating joint injuries includes the following conditions:

  • Osteoarthritis, joint degeneration
  • Tendinitis / Tendinosis / Tendinopathy
  • Bursitis and capsulitis
  • Shoulder rotator cuff sprains and tears
  • Knee ligament and meniscus injury (ACL, LCL, MCL sprains and tears)
  • Tennis or Golfers’ elbow (lateral and medial epicondylitis)
  • Hip labral tears
  • Ankle sprain and instability

While steroid injections may relieve back aches in the short term, platelet-rich plasma can repair the damage to the spine. For patients with conditions such as degenerative disc disease and herniated discs, PRP can reverse the impact of the condition, allowing greater freedom of movement and reducing debilitating aches over the years to come. 

Turn to STEMS Regenerative Medicine in Miami Beach to address the following spine issues:

  • Cervical and Lumbar
    • Radiculitis / Radiculopathy
    • Herniated discs
    • Degenerative disc disease
    • Sciatica and nerve impingement
  • Cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine joint arthritis
    • Spondylolysis
    • Facet arthropathy, hypertrophy
    • Face to-ligamentous capsulitis/sprain
  • Spine instability due to muscle and ligament damage
    • Anterolisthesis, retrolisthesis
    • Spondylolisthesis
  • Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction
    • Sacroiliitis
    • SI joint arthritis
    • SI joint instability

PRP has proven effective in studies for minimizing wrinkles, reducing hollow dark circles around the eyes, and improving the appearance of acne scars in patients. PRP therapy can help increase dermal elasticity, support hyaluronic acid synthesis, and drive collagen production. The range of PRP and stem cell skin treatments available at our facility includes:

  • Facial
    • Facial rejuvenation
    • Wrinkles, fine lines (facelift)
    • Skin tightening / plumping
    • Enhanced skin tone and texture
    • Moisture retention
  • Dermatitis
  • Rosacea
  • Acne and scarring
  • Skin Hyperpigmentation
  • Hair growth
  • Hair restoration

The journey to full recovery after surgery is often long and painful. PRP can help in post-surgical recovery, with research showing PRP injections help heal musculoskeletal concerns and surgical damage on your skin after complex surgeries. This helps patients to:

  • Shorten the time to full recovery
  • Minimize dependence on medications
  • Reduce the stress on the body and the risk of further injury

How PRP Therapy Works at STEMS Health

Step 1: Blood Draw

Your board-certified doctor will draw a blood sample through your skin.

Step 2: Platelet Separation

The blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate the plasma, the red blood cells and platelets.

Step 3: PRP Injection

After comprehensive sample analysis, our team injects the PRP into the target injection site. We complete the injection process while following the highest levels of safety and explaining each step to you to ensure your comfort.

What to Expect from PRP Treatments

Duration: Each session takes about 45-60 minutes. We complete our treatments at our world-class medical facility in the heart of Miami Beach. Your doctor and support team will ensure your comfort and communicate with you throughout the treatment, answering any questions you have during your appointment. 

Recovery Time: You need minimal recovery, though some swelling or soreness might occur. Your board-certified doctor will advise you on the recovery process during your initial consultation. 

Number of Sessions: Typically, 2-3 sessions spaced several weeks apart deliver optimal results. We tailor our treatment plans specifically to you and your individual health goals to help maximize the effect of your PRP process.

“I am again able to go for walks with my wife and play with my grandchildren. Dr. Choxi and his team truly saved me!”

“I had undergone 2 back surgeries and still had low back pain everyday. I could barely get out of bed in the morning and had lost hope of getting better.

He also provided third-party research to further my comfort level, and we decided on a treatment path together. Dr. Choxi collaborated with my physical therapist prior to treatment and thereafter. The procedure went exactly as described from arrival to departure. I felt cared for by and comfortable with everyone at the center. The whole experience including post procedure follow up by Dr. Choxi was concierge level. My physical therapist is encouraged by my progress, and I’m excited to see my results continue to materialize.”

— Gary C.

“STEMS brought me to closer to what I felt like in my youth.”

“For several years I was experiencing cramping and back aches after completing chemotherapy. It was extremely difficult to function in my line of work. The healthcare system I was being treated at just chalked it up to periodic post-chemo discomfort. I felt like I hit a dead-end, but still hoped to find someone else out there. There was no way I was going to live life this way. That’s when I came across STEMS. The consult with Dr. Choxi was very informative and instilled confidence in my suggested treatment. After receiving pain treatment, I have honestly started to feel a significant reduction in discomfort. I am much more productive at work and feel reinvigorated.

STEMS brought me to closer to what I felt like in my youth… I have this renewed sense of faith in what medicine is capable of. It’s amazing how much the body can rebound when you have the right care and put in the necessary work yourself. I encourage anyone who may be suffering to not lose hope, as there may be cutting-edge solutions with regenerative medicine.”

— Sagar S.

PRP Therapy FAQs

PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma, injections harness the body’s own healing mechanisms using concentrated platelets from the patient’s blood. Derived from bone marrow cells called megakaryocytes that then release parts of their cytoplasm into the bloodstream (which then form platelets), these platelets are key in clotting and tissue repair.

During PRP therapy, a small blood sample is centrifuged to isolate these healing platelets, which are then injected into the affected area. This boosts the natural healing process, helping treat conditions ranging from sports injuries to cosmetic issues by accelerating recovery and reducing inflammation.

The efficacy and timeline for noticeable improvements after PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment can vary among individuals, based on the severity of the condition and individual healing responses.

Generally, about 90% of patients report experiencing some degree of relief within a week after their first PRP injection. However, the full therapeutic effect often unfolds over several weeks to months as the growth factors in the PRP stimulate the body’s natural healing processes.

An initial course of three PRP injections, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart, is typically recommended to optimize outcomes, especially for more chronic or severe conditions. It’s important for patients to have realistic expectations and discuss their specific treatment plan and prognosis with their healthcare provider.

PRP can be used to treat a wide range of injuries, including osteoarthritis, lumbar spinal disc pain, TMJ, muscle tears, rotator cuff injuries, and tendon and ligament injuries. In addition to these conditions, PRP therapy is continually being explored for its potential applications in other areas of medicine, including cosmetic procedures, hair loss treatment, sexual health conditions such as ED, and the acceleration of healing in surgical sites. The versatility and safety profile of PRP makes it a valuable tool in both improving patients’ quality of life and pushing the boundaries of traditional treatment methodologies.

If you’ve been injured, seeking treatment right away will produce the best results. Significant results can be achieved even with old injuries and arthritis.

Yes, STEMS Health proudly serves patients throughout Florida and across the U.S. From our Miami Beach location, we’re a short distance from points across South Florida, including Coral Gables or Aventura.
