San Francisco · PRP Injections
PRP injections in San Francisco.
Platelet-rich plasma uses your own blood — concentrated and precisely placed — to trigger repair in injured tendons, ligaments and joints. In-office in Pacific Heights.
Clinical PRP, placed under ultrasound.
PRP is derived from your own blood and contains a far higher concentration of platelets than whole blood — plasma rich in the growth factors and cytokines essential for repair. Concentration is what separates clinical PRP from a basic blood draw: we measure and target dose, because the right platelet concentration, placed precisely, is what drives a durable result.
At the San Francisco clinic every preparation is processed and assessed in-house, then delivered under real-time imaging. It’s an outpatient procedure with minimal downtime, placed exactly where the injury is, with nothing foreign introduced into your body.
