Does PRP Therapy Hurt?
PRP therapy should be a painless procedure. However, you may feel some discomfort when taking the blood sample and injection. Both of these steps involve putting a needle through your skin. To help ease the discomfort, your doctor may apply local anesthesia as well. Similar to a cortisone injection, the effects of PRP therapy are not instant. Expect a few weeks until your symptoms improve.[9]
Recovery Time for PRP Therapy
Since the main goal of PRP therapy is to promote growth or recovery, you might not experience an instant difference after getting the injection. Instead, it may take a couple of weeks or even months until the area starts growing more hair or healing faster. During this time, you should rest the injected area well. In most cases, it is possible to continue daily activities after a PRP injection. [10]
