PRP for men’s Health
What is PRP and how is it used to help men who experience ED?
PRP stimulates repair and boosts mesenchymal progenitor stem cell proliferation by containing growth and healing factors. PRP's natural healing mechanism boosts the body's efforts by providing a larger concentration of platelets to the affected area. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is an innovative treatment for ED.
PRP is designed to tap into your body’s own healing potential by using the patient’s platelet-rich plasma to help stimulate new tissue growth, with the goal of restoring blood flow and healing muscle cells.
Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy may help improve sexual performance in men who experience ED, particularly when used in combination with existing treatments.

How does it work?
The high concentration of platelets in PRP releases growth factors and proteins, which activate stem cells and encourage cellular repair and regeneration wherever they are applied in the body. Collagen creation and the construction of new blood vessels also occur, which helps with tissue repair.
