Joint & Tendon Pain
Targeted injections for osteoarthritis, tennis elbow and other chronic tendinopathies.
PRPTherapy
Platelet-Rich Plasma, drawn from your own blood and concentrated into a potent regenerative signal for tissue, skin and hair.
Your own biology, concentrated and returned.
A small sample of your blood is drawn, then spun to separate the platelets that carry your body's natural growth factors. Concentrated and reintroduced into the area of need, they trigger the cascade of repair the body already knows how to perform.
Feel restored from within.
PRP delivered into the joint helps calm inflammation and supports the slow work of cartilage and tendon repair.
What PRP Can Help With
Because it relies on your own platelets, PRP is well tolerated and versatile. Your physician will confirm where it fits in your plan. These are the most common applications.
Sports Injuries
Supports faster, more complete recovery in muscle, tendon and ligament injuries.
Hair Loss
Stimulates dormant follicles to restore density in early-stage androgenetic hair loss.
Skin Rejuvenation
Refines texture, tone and fine lines by triggering the skin's own collagen response.
Scar Improvement
Used in acne scarring and post-surgical scars to soften and even the surface.
Post-Procedure Healing
Layered into aesthetic and surgical protocols to shorten downtime and improve results.
PRP at Lifecore
From your bloodstream to where it is needed.
Closed, Sterile Processing
Your blood is processed in a closed sterile system, with no exposure to air or external reagents, then prepared for the specific indication being treated.
Calibrated Platelet Concentration
Platelet yield is measured and adjusted, because the right concentration matters more than the largest volume, too much or too little blunts the response.
Precision Delivery
Whether ultrasound-guided into a joint or microinjected into skin, every injection is placed by a clinician trained in the specific application.
The Lifecore Difference
PRP is sometimes treated as a quick add-on. At Lifecore, it is delivered as a considered clinical intervention, with the same diligence as any other regenerative therapy on offer.
We pair PRP with diagnostics, imaging and follow-up so the result you feel is matched by the result we can measure.
Frequently asked
Questions about PRP.
A few of the questions our guests ask most often. If you would like to explore something specific, our physicians are happy to talk it through with you.
PRP uses your own platelets, so the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is essentially nil. The main considerations are mild bruising or soreness at the treated site.
Most clients describe the discomfort as mild. Local anaesthetic or numbing cream is used where appropriate, especially for scalp and joint injections.
Skin and hair benefits typically build over four to twelve weeks. Joint and tendon improvements may continue to develop across several months.
Most protocols involve a course of three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, followed by maintenance once or twice a year.
Aesthetic PRP may leave redness or pinpoint marks for 24 to 48 hours. Joint and tendon PRP may require a short period of relative rest before return to load.
