What to Expect
A Quick Blood Draw
A small amount of your blood is drawn in our Thousand Oaks office, much like a routine lab test.
Concentrated Platelets
The sample is processed to concentrate the platelets, which carry your body’s own growth and healing factors.
Injection and Maintenance
The PRP is injected into the treated area. Some patients benefit from periodic PRP maintenance treatments, and Dr. Rubinstein will recommend a schedule for you.
