Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy in Miami
Harnessing your body's own concentrated platelets, bioactive growth factors, and healing proteins to accelerate tendon, ligament, and cartilage repair. Guided by Dr. Nina Gupta, MD, with real-time ultrasound precision in Miami, Florida.
What is PRP and How Does It Accelerate Recovery?
Platelets are natural reservoirs of concentrated growth factors and signaling proteins that orchestrate wound healing. In chronic musculoskeletal injuries or arthritic joints, poor blood flow limits the delivery of these healing elements. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy isolates and concentrates these platelets from a simple blood draw (up to 5x–8x baseline concentration) and delivers them directly into the damaged tissue.
Ultrasound-Guided Precision is Essential
"Blind injections miss the targeted intra-articular space or tendon tear up to 30% of the time. At Longevity Institute Miami, every PRP procedure is performed under high-resolution musculoskeletal ultrasound visualization, ensuring exact delivery into the lesion."
Bioactive Growth Factors Inside PRP
PDGF & TGF-Beta
Platelet-Derived Growth Factor and Transforming Growth Factor-Beta stimulate fibroblast proliferation, collagen production, and extracellular matrix remodeling.
VEGF & FGF
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Fibroblast Growth Factor promote angiogenesis (new blood supply) in poorly vascularized tendons and ligaments.
EGF & IGF-1
Epidermal Growth Factor and Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 support chondrocyte survival and cell differentiation in joint spaces.
100% Autologous & Natural
Derived completely from your own blood, eliminating any risk of allergic reaction, rejection, or foreign substance interaction.
Conditions Commonly Treated with PRP
- Mild-to-Moderate Knee Osteoarthritis: Decreasing chronic joint effusion, improving lubricating synovial fluid viscosity, and easing pain.
- Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy & Shoulder Impingement: Promoting healing in partial tendon tears and subacromial bursitis.
- Epicondylitis (Tennis & Golfer's Elbow): Resolving stubborn lateral and medial elbow tendinopathy refractory to physical therapy.
- Achilles Tendinopathy & Plantar Fasciitis: Accelerating repair in chronically degenerate foot and ankle tissues.
What to Expect During a PRP Session
The entire outpatient procedure takes approximately 60 minutes:
