What does the procedure involve?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a modern regenerative therapy using the patient’s concentrated blood platelets, rich in growth factors. Administered to the site of damage, they stimulate the natural healing processes of tendons, ligaments and joints. It is a safe, autologous method supporting the treatment of injuries and overuse changes.
The most common indications for the procedure:
Preparation for the procedure:
Orthopaedic consultation i kwalifikacja do terapii
Stopping anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) 5-7 days before and after the procedure
Hydrating the body the day before the procedure (helps with blood collection)
Course of the procedure
Zabieg wykonywany jest ambulatoryjnie.
The doctor takes a small amount of venous blood from the patient, which then goes into a special centrifuge.
After centrifugation, the platelet-rich plasma containing activated growth factors is separated.
The ready product is administered precisely to the diseased site - under ultrasound guidance or by palpation.
Recovery and post-procedure recommendations:
On the day of the procedure - rest, no physical exertion
Possible temporary pain, swelling or a feeling of pressure at the injection site
Zakaz stosowania NLPZ (ibuprofen, ketoprofen) przez 5-7 dni po zabiegu
Paracetamol can be used in case of pain
Return to physical activity usually after 2-3 days
In some cases a cycle of 2-3 injections every 2-3 weeks is recommended
Orthopaedic follow-up to assess the results
Temporary pain, a feeling of pressure or swelling at the injection site
Haematoma or redness at the injection site
Infection (very rarely - thanks to the sterile technique and the patient’s own biological material)
An inflammatory reaction - a sign of regeneration, not a complication
Brak efektu - w przypadku zaawansowanych zmian zwyrodnieniowych
Frequently asked questions
What is platelet-rich plasma (PRP)?
It is a product obtained from the patient’s own blood, concentrating blood platelets with growth factors. Administered into the damaged tissue, it stimulates its natural regeneration and relieves chronic inflammation.
In which orthopaedic conditions is PRP used?
In enthesopathies (tennis elbow, heel spur), tendinopathies, chronic pain and early degenerative joint changes, ligament injuries and as support for post-operative rehabilitation.
How does the platelet-rich plasma procedure work?
We take a small amount of blood from a vein, centrifuge it in a closed system and administer the resulting plasma to the diseased site, often under ultrasound guidance. The whole procedure takes about 30-45 minutes.
Czy zabieg PRP boli?
The administration itself may be momentarily unpleasant - especially in the area of the attachments - which is why we use local anaesthesia. Tenderness after the injection lasts 1-3 days.
When do the effects of plasma therapy appear?
Regeneration is a process - the first improvement is usually felt after 2-4 weeks, and the full effect after 6-12 weeks from administration. The effects build up with each week.
How many PRP treatments are needed?
Depending on the condition: 1-3 administrations at intervals of 2-4 weeks. The plan is set by the orthopaedist after assessing the response to the first injection.
Is platelet-rich plasma safe?
Yes - the product comes from the patient’s own blood, so the risk of allergy or rejection practically does not exist. Performed under aseptic conditions, the procedure has a negligible risk of complications.
How to prepare for the PRP procedure?
Be well hydrated, avoid alcohol for 24 hours before the procedure, and stop anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) for a few days after agreement with the doctor - they weaken the action of the growth factors.
How to behave after plasma administration?
For 2-3 days spare the treated area and avoid NSAIDs (paracetamol is allowed), for a week intense exertion. You return to daily activity after 2-3 days.
How does PRP differ from a steroid block?
A steroid extinguishes inflammation quickly but does not repair the tissue and cannot be repeated often. PRP works more slowly but stimulates real regeneration and can be safely repeated.
What are the contraindications to plasma therapy?
Active infections, blood diseases and thrombocytopenia, cancers, pregnancy and the use of certain medications. Qualification is carried out by the doctor during an orthopaedic consultation.
How much does a platelet-rich plasma treatment cost in Wrocław?
The price depends on the type of PRP kit and the number of administrations in the series. You will find indicative prices in the Luna Clinic price list; you will receive a therapy plan with a quote at the consultation.
Indications - is this procedure for you?
The most common reasons patients come for the “Platelet-rich plasma” procedure:
- Pain limiting daily activity, work or sleep.
- Mobility limitation, instability or “catching” in the joint.
- Insufficient improvement after conservative treatment and rehabilitation.
Contraindications
Effects - when and for how long?
Effect: gradual improvement in 2-6 weeks; usually a series of 1-3 administrations. Durability: depends on the product and the condition.
Safety and possible complications
As with any operation, the following are possible - though rare: haematoma, infection, sensory disturbances in the operated area, scar hypertrophy, asymmetry or the need for a corrective procedure.
We minimise the risk at every stage: a sterile procedure suite, an experienced anaesthesiology team, careful qualification and post-operative monitoring. You have the right to know every aspect of the procedure - at the consultation we will discuss them honestly and without haste.

What does platelet-rich plasma therapy involve?
Platelet-rich plasma is a procedure in the field of orthopedics. At Luna Clinic, every treatment plan is created individually - we start with a thorough consultation and qualification, during which the doctor discusses expectations, assesses the starting situation and selects the scope and technique of the procedure. Thanks to this, platelet-rich plasma therapy is safe, predictable and tailored to the anatomy and real needs of the specific person. We focus on a natural rather than artificial effect - so that the result emphasises individual beauty and remains in harmony with the rest of the figure or facial features. You will find a full, detailed description of the method in the upper part of this page.
platelet-rich plasma therapy - who is it for? Indications and qualification
The best way to answer whether platelet-rich plasma therapy is advisable in your case is during a consultation. The doctor always decides on qualification after an examination - we take into account the state of health, expectations and the real possibilities of the given method. If the procedure is not needed or safe at the moment, we will say so directly and suggest a sensible alternative. Such an honest conversation is the basis of a good decision and satisfaction with the result - which is why we never persuade anyone into unnecessary procedures.
How does the procedure go?
The course is planned to take maximum care of your comfort and safety. We work in comfortable conditions that meet all standards, and an experienced team oversees the process. All recommendations - preparation, contraindications and post-procedure conduct - are discussed individually and also provided in writing, so that platelet-rich plasma therapy proceeds calmly, predictably and without surprises.
Effects and durability - platelet-rich plasma therapy before and after
The effects that platelet-rich plasma therapy provides are always assessed individually. A natural, harmonious refreshment of appearance or an improvement of proportions is the goal we strive for with every patient. “Before and after” transformations are best viewed in our results gallery - they show the real outcomes of our work. Remember that the durability and quality of the effect are also influenced by lifestyle, care and consistent adherence to post-procedure recommendations.
Recovery and post-procedure recommendations
Recovery goes most smoothly when you follow the recommendations closely. After the procedure you remain under the clinic’s care - in the first days, contact with a doctor is available, and we schedule follow-up visits until full healing and assessment of the effect. You receive clear instructions on care, activity and any supporting products in writing, so you know exactly what to expect at each stage of returning to form.
Safety, experience and trust
Safety is an absolute priority for us. Platelet-rich plasma is performed by Krzysztof Ciechan, MD, PhD - a specialist in orthopaedics, with care for safety and an individual approach to the patient. Careful qualification, work in appropriate conditions and the team’s experience allow us to minimise risk and achieve repeatable, aesthetic results. In the field of orthopedics, not only technique matters, but also aesthetic sense and trust between patient and doctor - and that is exactly what we build Luna Clinic on every day.
Why Luna Clinic?
Luna Clinic is an intimate, boutique clinic where not only the result matters, but also comfort, discretion and a sense of safety. We carry out platelet-rich plasma therapy with attention to every detail - from the first conversation, through the procedure itself, to post-procedure care. Patients choose us for the experience of our specialists, the individual approach and the natural, harmonious results. It matters to us that every person feels heard and well informed, which is why we present the real possibilities and limitations of the given method and choose the best solution together.
How to prepare for the procedure?
Good preparation translates directly into the course and the effect. Before platelet-rich plasma therapy we conduct a qualification consultation, order tests if necessary and discuss the recommendations in detail - including which agents, stimulants or activities to avoid in the days preceding the procedure. You receive all the guidance clearly and in writing, and our team remains available should any additional questions arise. We always tailor the preparation plan individually, because every situation and every patient is different.
