PRP Therapy in Albuquerque, NM
Regenerative Injections Using Your Body's Own Healing Factors
Regenerative medicine is a rapidly evolving field focused on repairing or regenerating human tissue to restore normal function, addressing the root cause of a condition rather than just managing symptoms. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is one such approach: it uses growth factors concentrated from your own blood to stimulate the body’s natural healing process, accelerating tissue repair with less pain than conventional approaches. Dr. Jay uses PRP therapy as part of an individualized regenerative medicine plan, most often for joint injury, tendon damage, hair loss, and skin rejuvenation, addressing the underlying tissue damage rather than only managing symptoms.
What Is PRP Therapy?
PRP injections concentrate the platelets and growth factors already present in your blood into a solution far more potent than whole blood, then reintroduce that solution into the injured or aging tissue to stimulate cell growth, collagen production, and repair. In the early 2000s, PRP’s use expanded into orthopedics to support bone graft healing and fracture repair, and its continued success led to broader adoption in sports medicine for connective tissue repair. Since PRP uses your body’s own healing potential, effectiveness depends in part on your overall health at the time of treatment.
What Are the Benefits of PRP Therapy?
- Helps relieve joint pain associated with osteoarthritis, joint injury, and torn ligaments
- Stimulates hair growth by activating growth factors at the follicle level
- Offers a regenerative medicine treatment option for tendonitis and connective tissue repair
- Optimizes platelet yield with the PureSpin system: 91% recovery at 6 to 11 times baseline concentration
- Supports circulation and cellular energy at the site of injury, accelerating the tissue's own repair response
- Reduces contamination risk through a self-sealing valve port and chamber aspirating disc, rather than standard test tubes

Evaluation
Dr. Jay reviews your health history and the specific area of concern to confirm PRP therapy is an appropriate option for your presentation.
Blood Draw and Processing
A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm and processed through two centrifuge spins using the PureSpin system, first separating blood components, then concentrating the platelets and plasma into PRP.
Injection or Application
The concentrated PRP is injected into or applied to the treatment area, delivering growth factors directly to the tissue that needs to heal.
Follow-Up
Your provider monitors your progress and determines whether additional sessions are needed based on your response.
