Does PRP Therapy Hurt?
As with any injection, there may be some discomfort or very minor pain experienced during your PRP treatment. Your provider will need to perform a blood draw in order to create your platelet-rich plasma. Blood is typically taken from a vein in the arm. If you are undergoing a microneedling procedure, a topical anesthetic may be administered prior to reduce sensation and make you more comfortable. Following your treatment, you may notice a tight feeling to your skin or minor stinging sensation. This will typically dissipate in 1-2 days after your appointment. Our goal is to make our patients as comfortable as possible, and we take the time to ensure you receive the high-quality care you need with as little discomfort as possible, so you can fully enjoy the benefits of your PRP treatment.
