PRP helps injured tissue over time, with effects lasting from nine months to several years, depending on the area treated and the severity of the condition. We may recommend a series of injections or combine PRP with other treatments to prolong results.

PRP injection therapy costs vary based on the amount of PRP needed, the treated area, and the type of injury. Dr. Wilkerson or one of our experts will determine the specifics during your consultation.
