Blood is a soup-like fluid. It contains red and white cells. Reds carry oxygen. White cells are fighters. In a simple Google search, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is known as a concentrated solution derived from your own blood, rich in platelets, which are tiny blood cells.
Blood also contains serum, which is composed of water and numerous proteins. It is a mixed bag. Some of these proteins are staples sent to damaged tissue. Some of them are the byproduct of damage that is shifted away. You may have already heard of PRP in other applications, such as aesthetics. A typical example is its use for hair growth. Blood is all the material transported in your body, as opposed to the nerves that transport electricity in your body. So, depending on what is going wrong in your body, you may need a part of your blood more than others.
Is part of your body inflamed? Well. You may need fewer white blood cells. Remember, white blood cells themselves are responsible for increasing inflammation? Then why do you need them more in the already inflamed organ? Therefore, you may need a particular type of PRP prepared exclusively for you. The concentration of each blood component can be manipulated by adjusting the amount required. At Cherry Medical, we primarily use PRP therapy to enhance tissue healing, minimize inflammation, and promote cellular regeneration.

At Cherry Medical, the targeted areas for PRP injections include the knee, shoulder, elbow, sacroiliac joint, and the small joints of the spine.
The process begins with a small blood sample, which is carefully processed in a high-speed centrifuge to extract the platelet-rich layer. This concentrated solution is then injected into the targeted area, delivering a powerful boost of growth factors. These growth factors naturally stimulate your body’s healing response, resulting in faster recovery, improved skin quality, and enhanced joint or muscle function.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment is one of the most advanced methods for natural tissue regeneration and skin rejuvenation, performed safely without surgery using the patient’s own blood. The cost of PRP injections varies depending on the treatment area, number of sessions, and provider expertise, typically ranging from $500 to $2,500 per session. This therapy is highly effective not only for skin rejuvenation, reducing wrinkles, and acne scars, but also for hair restoration, joint pain management, and recovery from sports injuries.
