PRP therapy is a penile injection using your own platelet from your own blood to improve your sexual performance through the regeneration of penile tissue and blood vessels, thus potentially increasing the amount of blood flow to the penis. In particular, this procedure is designed to help those who feel their performance has declined due to issues such as diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular disease.
PRP or Platelet Rich Plasma, contains many factors essential for cell survival, including nutrients, vitamins, hormones, electrolytes, growth factors such as IGF and HGF and proteins.
PRP treatment can improve overall sexual performance in men and promotes regeneration of penile nerves and blood vessels by releasing growth factors such as insulin growth factor (IGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).
This can result in increasing the strength of erections and has the potential to increase the length, especially when treated in combination with penis pumping. Think of penis pumping as a penis work out – by stretching out the tissues in the penis you are adding capacity for the penis to increase its filling capacity. While it may work on its own, it works even better when performed with growth factors that promote healing and repair from the growth factors found in PRP.
The treatment is rapid, effective, and virtually painless. The PRP procedure involves harvesting and re-injecting one’s own platelets containing growth factors, which have rejuvenating qualities, into the penis. Your platelet rich plasma injection can be performed in under 60 minutes. There is no need to take the day off work and there is very little down time. The treatment is a virtually painless procedure. Except for a slight pinch with the initial freezing, you should not feel any pain with the PRP injections.
