Platelet-Rich Plasma or PRP Therapy can be used to treat arthritis, rebuild damaged tendons or cartilage, relieve joint pain and more – and has been used to safely treat wounds, injuries and other problems for years. Platelets are the cells in your blood that help tissue heal and grow new cells. In PRP Therapy, we use your own platelet cells and introduce them to the areas where you need collagen growth, tissue regeneration and more.
Dr. Sears is also using PRP Therapy to provide a natural way to help you achieve a youthful look in an aesthetic anti-aging treatment. Always on the search for new treatments and methods to offer his patients at the Sears Institute, he is very excited about the results he is seeing in his patients who have tried PRP Therapy.

What to Expect
Aesthetic PRP Therapy
PRP Therapy usually takes about half an hour. A small amount of your blood is drawn and then placed in a centrifuge to separate out the platelets. During this time you will relax in the soothing environment of your private treatment room as we gently cleanse your skin to prepare you for the treatment.
The injections take only a few minutes, and are only mildly uncomfortable for our patients. You can immediately return to your normal activities. You may experience mild swelling, redness or bruising for a few days, but it will fade quickly. You will see results within 2-4 weeks, with continued improvement for 12 weeks.

The injection takes only a few minutes, and is relatively painless. If the injection is in your right knee or ankle, you will need a ride home from the clinic as you shouldn’t drive right away.
You will experience pain relief almost immediately. If you are treating an injury, you will need to rest the affected area for up to six weeks to allow the PRP to take full effect. Most patients find relief after 1-3 injections spread out over time and are able to fully return to the activities they enjoy within about three months.
