Overview & Procedure

What the treatment is and how it's performed

What it is

PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. A small blood sample is taken from your arm, and the blood is spun in a centrifuge so the plasma with platelets separates. The platelets contain growth factors the body uses in its own repair. The plasma is placed with small injections into the intimate area, in women and men. The treatment is used for complaints such as dryness, soreness and discomfort in the mucous membranes and the skin. A doctor examines you first, finds the cause of the complaints and assesses whether the treatment can suit you, often as support for other treatment.

  • Usually one to three treatments four to six weeks apart, to the doctor's plan.
  • A check-up with the doctor after the course.

  • A doctor goes through your health and what you want help with.
  • A small blood sample is taken from your arm.
  • The blood is spun in a closed, sterile system.
  • The area is cleansed and numbed with numbing cream, and with local anaesthetic if needed.
  • The plasma is placed with small injections.

  • Drink plenty of water the day before and on the day.
  • Eat a normal meal before the appointment.
  • Avoid alcohol the day before, and anti-inflammatory painkillers for the last few days if your doctor allows it.

Experience & Recovery

Pain level, downtime and healing

The area is numbed well first. With numbing, most people rate the discomfort at 2–4 out of 10. The blood sample feels like an ordinary prick.

  • Common: redness, swelling, tenderness and small bruises.
  • Less common: a bruise where the blood sample was taken.
  • Rare: infection. An allergic reaction is very rare, because the plasma comes from you.

  • Avoid intercourse, bathing and saunas for the first two to three days.
  • Avoid hard exercise and cycling for the first day.
  • Wear loose underwear for the first few days.

Usually 1–2 days of slight swelling and tenderness. Small bruises can last a few days.
